WalterDirt Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have a working deadmoo image working natively. What I want to do now is to duplicate the entire drive to a different physical drive; and in the process I want to make both drives bootable, and hopefully the new drive will take advantage of all the drive space (not the 6GB limit of deadmoo). I found this in the wiki: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...installation.3F if I use the fdisk method will both be bootable. For some reason I'm thinking that when I run the fdisk command it will only make one drive bootable, and not the other, can anyone clarify? Or if you have a better way of accomplishing my task by all means let me know.

ryan91 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I did see in a guide somewhere how to get over this 6 gb. They used the disk utility to restore the drive to get over hte 6 gig limit. I'd look at that but I don't know if both will be bootable. Install OSX86 on a partition (take a look at step 6, I think it could work for you) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4202-duplicate-working-native-install-both-bootable/#findComment-27086 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install OSX86 on a partition (take a look at step 6, I think it could work for you) I'm going to have to assume that since that guide is talking about partitions it won't work. I also think that the fdisk method won't work either since it too is about partitions and a single drive (1 boot sector). So maybe my best bet would be to install darwin onto the second drive, and then restore the working deadmoo onto it. Installing Darwin will give me a proper boot sector on the drive, and the restore should copy the deadmoo. But I'm working off 3 hours of sleep, is my logic off?

WalterDirt Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 I documented what I did on the successes forum. I figured I should add a reference here in case someone actually cares what the outcome was: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=4227 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4202-duplicate-working-native-install-both-bootable/#findComment-27215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
