'Tar-ing' in windows?

[Chrono86]

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

Just download winrar to extract the image then do the dd command

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

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....
