Joe55 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 So, I downloaded tiger-x86 and created the file tiger-x86-flat.img. I then created a DL DVD which should work, but doesn't. If I open the DVD through HFSExplorer it shows the main folder "tiger-x86" and a lot of subfolders like "dev", "library", "opt", "sbin" etc. which leads me to think that the DVD is ok. I have created a partition for osx86 in the Fat32 system. My mobo is 775DualVST, don't know if it there's a problem with that? Oh, and after uncompressing the file besides the .img I also got floppy.flp and a couple of tiny files called tiger-x86 .nvram, .vmdk, .vmsd etc. Don't know if these should have been used for something? Basically when trying to load the DVD I get a black screen with a cursor blinking in top left corner but after a few seconds it goes straight into XP. Could it be something to do with my partitioning? Do I need any "patching"? I find those guides difficult to grasp, ended up using this one as that actually made sense http://dilnalomo.googlepages.com/xposx04 Do I need to install a "bootselector" such as EasyBCD? I thought I could just boot from the DVD using F11 and selecting "boot from CD/DVD".

Lkr Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 woah. the tiger-x86-flat.img is so old and should NOT be used. Search around a torrent site for either a JaS or UpHuck Install DVD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57951-dvd-wont-bootgoes-into-xp-quickly/#findComment-413859 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ramm Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 The proper use of that image would be to "ditto" it over to the other (HFS+) partition, with no burning or anything of the such. New images require burnt DVDs, or something of the like...

Joe55 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 "Ditto" as in copy it across??? Or somehow "burn" that .img to the harddrive? My partition is Fat32. How do I convert that to HFS+?

Jas or Uphuck. Don't worry about ditto. I don't know what it means and I've got OS X installed. In terms of converting. Try making the partition into a FAT32 partition type in Windows. Then when you continue with the OS X installation and get to the Disk Utilities erase part format it to HFS+ Extended at that point.

Thanks. Another Londoner I thought somehow it was possible (and necessary) to convert the partition to HFS+ from Windows in order for the installation to proceed but if that's not the case then I won't worry about that. I'll try with Uphuck and see if that takes me further in the process and then report back if there's still problems.
