When you say "my other hard drive" are you talking about of an slave HD ?. When you say "my mac" are you talking about of a real Mac computer ?.

My friend, any Mac OS X from a real Mac never will work in a pc, because that OS is designed to GX processor family, so it isn't a good idea. The Tiger OS X that everyone is installing in his/her pc is a version to Intel processors designed by Apple Developer Team. You need to get this version. Beside to install it on an Slave HD isn't a good idea, because it become in a nightmare.

When I use this guide: http://www.osx86.theplaceforitall.com/howto/ (Where he uses a Mac, more specifically Terminal, to dd the .img, tiger-x86-flat.img, to another hard drive) I can get through step 5, but when I put the hard drive into my PC, it gives me that error message I said it did before which again is "Try (hd0,0): extended or non-MS: skip Error". This is when the PC is trying to start up. I have set the hdd to master, cable select and slave and it gives me the same message each time.

Ok, now i understand it, but you didn't clear it in your 1st post, so anyone can to understand that you would want to transfer Mac OS X from a real Mac, because in none moment you told "i'm transferring tiger-x86-flat.img using my Real Mac". Anyway, to use a real Mac isn't really necessary, you can do it with your pc, i did it thus.

hobolooter Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 The fact that it is possible to install from a pc is irrelevent to this post, your errors sounds like something is wrong with your dd command.

gt5000 Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 Thanks hobo, In terminal, I determine that the targeted hdd is /dev/disk1s1, so my dd command is sudo dd if=/Users/gt/Desktop/tiger-x86-flat.img dev/disk1s1 Any comments?

Irrelevent isn't it, because if him would be transferring a real Mac OS X from a real Mac, then he couldn't to get it working fine.
