Chrono86 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Hi all I'm following this guide http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...le_And_Accurate and it says you don't need to extract the tar, you can just run this command line: tar -jOxf tiger-x86.tar.bz2 tiger-x86/tiger-x86-flat.img | dd of=/dev/hda2 bs=512 skip=63 I don't get it though, you can't run that kind of command line in CMD because windows doesn't accept tar commands. Any idea how to do this, I don't have enough room to extract the img file Thanks Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrono86 Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 hmm...I extracted the tar out of the bz2 just fine, but when I try to extract the img file it says the archive is corrupt. *EDIT* updated winrar and everything is going good, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea how to do this, I don't have enough room to extract the img file Thanks Adam <{POST_SNAPBACK}> that tutorial has a few mistakes and can be misleading (eg the bit about using skip=63) i think that command is for linux anyway....
