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:

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?

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

by the way, when i do -v i get the foolowing message:

Loading Darwin/x86

Loading kernel mach_kernel

Loading HFS+ file: [mach_kernel] from 4220210.

 

hope this helps :star_smile:

 

ps: the command i used to copy the tiger image was :

C:\>dd if=tiger-x86-flat.img of=\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 bs=512 skip=63

i used the foolowing command to craeate the mac os x partition:

create partition primary size=6660 id=af

 

pc_guru:

i am using windows

 

ps: i did everything on andrew escobar's guide except boot

Well, that dd command, looks a bit strange for windows, seems for linux. 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.

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 ?.

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
