I'm using the guide from http://profit42.com/?p=2 and am currently stuck. I posted this as a reply to that guide:

 

I’m having two errors, the latter possibly because of the former. I’m typing in:

 

“dd if=tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 bs=512 skip=63″

 

And getting the following in return:

 

rawwrite dd for windows version 0.3.

Error native opening file: 0 The operation completed successfully

 

I don’t know what operation completed successfully, and the line “this can take 10 minutes or 2 hours” makes me a little wary, since that appeared immediately after I typed in that line. No waiting time at all…

 

So I figured I’d stop and try again later. Well I went to set up the dual boot, and boot.ini isn’t in the c:\ directory. Well, it is, but it’s not showing, and even when I show hidden files it doesn’t… So I opened it by manually opening it by typing in the filename in Notepad, but even then, since it’s read-only, I can’t save over it. This could cause me some issues when I get to step three, any advice???

 

You can also inform me at ABrad45@gmail.com THANKS!
