wow Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I tried to use the dual boot manual from wiki (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Install_On_A_Partition_Simple_And_Accurate). Made a primairy partion from 10gb to DD the tiger image to. Did exactly like the manual says but this is what it get. Diskpart says i have disk 0 and the partition is part 4. There a 4 partitions (prim) on my hd C:\>dd if=e:\tiger-x86\tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition4 bs= 512 skip=63 Command Line: dd if=e:\tiger-x86\tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk0\Part ition4 bs=512 skip=63 C:\WINDOWS\system32\dd.exe: \\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition4: No such file or directory I have it native on a seprate HD and that works but i want to try to get it on a partition ---------- some more info DISKPART> select disk0 Microsoft DiskPart version 5.1.3565 DISK - Move the focus to a disk, or see disk focus.

Ozmotear Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Place DD for windows in the same folder as your osx86 image. Navigate to that folder in the DOS prompt and enter the following command. dd if=tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition4 bs= 512 skip=63 The reason you're getting an error is because your trying to include the location of your image, but dd doesn't recognize that as a command. dd if=e:\tiger-x86\tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition4 bs=512 skip=63 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1112-whats-wrong-with-this-commandline-dd-partition/#findComment-6706 Share on other sites More sharing options...

judy Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Maybe it starts counting partitions at 0 as well? Try dd if=\\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition0 of=somefile.test to check (press ctrl+c after a few seconds). If you don't get a file not found error, it probably does, so dd to Partition3.

Do you mean i have to make H active? Will xp still boot then??

eight_sixx Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 make sure you are using dd for windows version 0.3. There are several different version of dd out there for windows, written by different people, some of them dont support partitions properly. If using dd v0.3, you can do a dd --list to see harddisk and partition numbers. The BEST way to figure out disk and partition numbers is to use the Disk Management, which will list drives as Disk0, Disk1. i.e. Disk0 corresponds to \\?\Device\Harddisk0 Note that specifying Partition0 means the ENTIRE disk (read the readme for dd!), so \\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition0 means to use the entire disk! I can confirm this since yesterday I did this: dd if=c:\temp\Tigerx86-27GB.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition0 --progress to copy a larger 27GB tiger-x86 image i created to the primary drive of my dell laptop. It worked just fine Note that --progress is good in that you can see how many bytes have been written. Beats sitting there staring at a blank screen and wondering how much longer the damn process will take!

That seems like a good idea, i have the dd 0,3 so i could work.

wow Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 I have version 3.16.2.1035 - Copyright © 2002-2004 George M. Garner Jr. But when i don dd --list nothing happens, unrecognized option. Could it be that my dd is not the one to use? If so can you point me at a llink with the proper DD. mine came from a file called "forensic acquisition utilities-bin-1.0.0.1034 (beta1).zip" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1112-whats-wrong-with-this-commandline-dd-partition/#findComment-8042 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wow Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 Aha now something happens it seems that all the problems were caused by a wrong DD version. The --list parameter works now.

wow Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 Today i tried again but something strange happened, dows someone understand this?? My disk is 1 (i checked) i deleted the old partition 4 and made a new type AF, checked partitions with diskpart and indeed p4 is the new 9 gb partition Then i run this line dd if=e:\tiger-x86\tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk1\Partition4 bs=512 skip=63 --progress But now it comes, i also have partition 2 (D:) that is a 2 gb fat32 specially for transferring files between XP and OSX He disappears when DD does its job, its gone C: and E: i can still see but Its like he did it his job on Part 2 instead of part 4 or maybe he wrote on both partitions. i think i stop here, this is to weird and uncontrolable Edit: DD is done with its job part2 is definitly gone. It looks to me that this version of DD contains a bug. That in certain situations he does things you wouldnt like :-) Did the chain0 thing, put it in c:\ added line to boot.ini and checked via msconfig. Result: Windows still starts but when i select OSX it says HAL.DLL not found ca n not start windows reinstall windows or replace the file ??? edit2: c is 10 gb nfs (xp) d: was 2gb fat32 e: 130gb ntfs ?: is 9gb htf+?? Maybe DD has a problem with HD's bigger then 128gb ?? Or combinations from ntfs and fat32. I am glad he didnt killed e: that would be a bigger problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1112-whats-wrong-with-this-commandline-dd-partition/#findComment-10422 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to me that this version of DD contains a bug. That in certain situations he does things you wouldnt like :-) wow, it is not a bug. On my laptop I have 3 partitions. I thought that my destination partition was 3 because that is what diskpart said was the unknown partition. However when I used dd --list, it shows volume 1 was c:, volume 3 was e:\. So I had to use volume 2 or partition2. This is contrary to what I would have thought logical.

SUBMarcos Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Google about ntldr and hall missing, there are many good sites that solve that problem. I guarantee those work. You need to set an active partition, presumably your OSx86 partition, which has to be an "af" type and "primary" kind of partition. I am sure this post should be in the Failures section and not here since you havent installed the OS correctly.
