Ozmotear Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I'm copying the tiger-x86-flat.img to a 7GB partition on my external HD. I've copied this before, to a different HD, and the most it took me was 10 minutes. (3 was the fastest). So far Its been going for about 1:30+, how much longer should it take?

rohde Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 It all depends on what bit size (bs) you use. Some have apparently used 512 as the size in which case it took them a whole night or something crazy like that. Personally I did it on 5-7 minutes. But I'm fast, very fast Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1113-how-long-does-it-take/#findComment-6743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
