Mage66 Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Well, I built the $199 Special: - ASRock P4Dual-915GL Motherboard - Intel Celeron D 340 2.93Ghz / 256K Cache / 533 FSB / Socket 478 / Processor - CompUSA ATX Case w/400 watt P4 PS - 2x128 PC-2700 RAM (to be replaced with 2x256mb or 1x512mb DIMM when system works) - Creative Labs 5x DVD Drive - Apple/Maxtor 20gb IDE Drive I only had to buy the top three items for a total cost of $140.00 But, I cannot get the system to boot from the DeadMoo image. 1. I tried DD on Windows, it kept reporting that the Source Image was in use and could not be opened. 2. I copied the DeadMoo image to my G4 and tried Disk Utility. When put in the PC, it wouldn't boot. 3. I tried DD on the G4, and when I put it in my PC, it wouldn't boot. 4. I tried using VMWARE and mounted the 20gb drive as a physical drive, and also mounted two copies of the DeadMoo image. One to boot from, and the other to image from. When I put the HDD in my PC, it wouldn't boot. I'm stuck. What can I do to make this system boot? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeph Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Kinda sounds like the HDD is dead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mage66 Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 Kinda sounds like the HDD is dead... What would give you THAT idea? I formats fine. Takes the images fine. I can read and write to the drive when it's on the G4 or my other PC in VMWARE. It just doesn't boot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
