pandy Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I DD'd the image to my 20gb slave drive and it wont boot, at all, not even with the ultimate boot cd. I dont think I did anything wrong but do I have to prep the drive in any way or format it before using DD?

domino Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Check if you really changed the drive to AF and you made it active. Log out of the application then log back in to see if the partition stuck and is active. Also make sure you used the correct switches on dd. Please read the How-To more closely. I know it will work for you because it has worked for over 1000 people. Good luck!

cyrana Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Look at the wiki and check the installation guides. It has mentioned partition types in every guide I've ever seen.

pandy Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 dd if=tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\.\Volume{c18588c0-02e9-11d8-853f-00902758442b} bs=1M I used that method and it didnt work. I looked for the drive, and made sure it was sent to the right one.. But it didnt boot. Is there anything I need to do to the hard drive before I do it?

pandy Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 Look at the wiki and check the installation guides. It has mentioned partition types in every guide I've ever seen. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I did look at the guide, the one where you download the forensic tools. However, it said a DLL that was blatantly there was missing, so I must be using a different version of DD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2322-please-help/#findComment-15142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandy Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 Description - Many of the guides for installing OSX Tiger are complicated and use linux. You can install OSX using public-domain free windows only tools. Directions - If you wish to install OSX tiger to your intel machine or usb drive, you can follow these few steps. Be careful because you can kill your hard drive if you are not careful. You will need either a seperate hard drive (seperate partition will not do) or an external hard drive. Whatever extra hard drive you use will be completely replaced by osx and you will lose all information on that drive. 1. Authorized users should obtain the OSX files from Apple. It is illegal to obtain them from torrent sites by searching under the following keywords: "VMWare files for patched Mac OS X Tiger Intel" 2. Unrar these files to the root of your C: drive 3. Download Forensic Acquisition Utilities 4. Unzip these files and copy dd.exe to the root of c: drive as well Note: the dd.exe program is used to write the image to your spare hard drive or external hard drive. The command is the following: dd if=c:\tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\.\PhysicalDriveSomething PhysicalDriveSomething should be replaced with your real physicaldrive (PhysicalDrive1, PhysicalDrive2, etc.). What your hard drives or usb drives are labelled is not always obvious. So I use WMI to figure this out. If you don't need it, don't get it. It's free... and it may prevent you from killing your wrong hard drive. 5. Download WMI Tools from Microsoft 6. Open WMI Browser Object 7. Allow block content and click the OKs until it loads 8. Select Win32_SystemPartitions.PartComponent in the left column 9. In the right column right-click on the drive device id (Disk #0, Partition #0, etc) and select Go to Object 10. The device window will open and click the associations tab 11. Exploring with this tool you should be able to match drive letters (Win32_LogicalDisk.DeviceID="C:") to each physicaldisk reference (Win32_DiskDrive.DeviceID="\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE0") Click for larger version: 12. Now that you know the physicaldrive label for your extra internal or external drive, you can drop to the root of your c: drive and run the command. Be sure to replace the physicaldrive text with the physical drive you determined above. If you use the wrong one, you will erase your primary hard drive. That's the one Im reading. The DD I got from the link there reports a missing DLL and it says nothing about partitioning the drive, simply tells you how to DD to it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2322-please-help/#findComment-15143 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandy Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 OK I've located the missing DLL file and it now runs, however I dont know how to set the drive up before I run DD. Can someone please point me to where I can find out how to do this? PLEASE?
