astonmartin Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Hi guys, first post here! Ok. I got the tiger-x86-flat.img and followed the RadioTux Guide. When I dd the image into my AF partition, I get this message: "Error writing file: 87 The parameter is incorrect. Then I found after I did that all the data from my 2 gig logical partition was gone. I believe I typed the wrong partition. The attached picture shows the partitions on my harddisk. I have a 47mb FAT partition for bootmagic, a 36gb NTFS partition for XP, the 6.5gb AF partition for OSX and then 3 logical NTFS partitions for my data. Diskpart says my OSX (unknown) partition is Partition 3 so I dd'ed the image into partition 3. However, that's not the right partition. Can anyone tell me what partition it is? Thanks guys!

"Error writing file: 87 The parameter is incorrect" Use this guide: http://www.osxx86.info/installguide/installguide.htm You probably did not use WinRAR to decompress the IMG file. The file size should be 6,290,928 KB otherwise its corrupted by whatever extractor you used. EDIT: Use Diskpart command "LIST PARTITION" to get the correct partition number.
