juan_cl Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi! i'm using andrew escobar´s method(dd method). I get past dd the img file and getting the file chain0 on. When i boot I get two options, MAC OS X AND WINDOWS. I select mac os x. There are three options, one says tiger-x86, the other one APPLE HFS+ and the other is WINDOWS. So i select tiger-x86, it seems like it loads, but then it just goes back to the same menu. ive tried it with -v and -x but no luck. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! :censored2: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6375-dd-method-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE HELP ME!!!! :censored2: I think you wrote something wrong since the Darwin bootloader appears after you select Mac OS with Windows bootloader. Can you post the command you typed to copy the image to the partition? Also, which image dou you have?

juan_cl Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 i select mac os x from the windows bootloader, then i select tiger-x86. It seems like it loads, but then it goes back to the menu where tiger-x86 was. by the way, i just tried to use this method but still get the problem that it goes back to the darwin bootloader Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6375-dd-method-help/#findComment-39656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used this command : dd if=tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\?\Device\HarddiskVolumeX bs=32256 skip=1 --progress You must to replace the X, for the proper number of your partition, remember in Windows the 1st partition start in 1 not 0.

pc_guru Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 dosent work for me! get error:errror openeing native file If you recently did create that AF partition, you must to reboot in order to get that partition accepted by Win XP. Also, you must to have all files needed (dd and its dlls and the tiger-x86-flat.img) copied in the same folder. Those worked perfectly to me and a lot of persons too, so i'd recommend double-check your parameters in that line and to verify those things that i told you. Could you to place a printscrn of your diskpart result ?. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6375-dd-method-help/#findComment-39755 Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 here is the screenshot of diskpart and here is the one of dd Man, you did it wrong, it is: dd if=tiger-x86-flat.img of=\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 bs=512 skip=63 or dd if=c:tiger-x86-flat.img of=\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2 bs=32256 skip=1 bs and skip changes, skip=63 means skip 63 of 512 byte sectors, thi is used to skip the copy of the boot sector. The second command is the same, it is one sector of 32256 bytes, but usualy is faster than the first one because of the block size. Also you can copy bootsector if your destination is the first partition, but the Darwin bootloader will be the default in that HD, you can do it with either of these commands just dont type the skip=xx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6375-dd-method-help/#findComment-39893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
