jazzy639 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Hi, I got tiger-x86-flat.img - uncompressed, its 2.14GB for me. I used the DD command to copy it to an unpartitioned 4.01GB spare HDD. I restarted my comoputer and unplugged my main HDD so itboots off of my spare HDD. I get a black screen saying Darwin at the top and then it says "EBIOS Read Error: Error 0x04 Block 8844999: Sectors 64" several times and then takes me back to the first screen where I can click enter to do the same thing again. Any ideas? Many thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/672-once-ddd-and-restarted-ebios-read-error-0x04/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
shayanoh Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Is should be uncompressed to a ~6gb file. i think there's a problem with the program you use to uncompress. I used winrar and it worked fine Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/672-once-ddd-and-restarted-ebios-read-error-0x04/#findComment-3988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzy639 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Well, I went to start, Run and typed in compmgmt.msc I got up the Hard Disk management and it shows an unpartitioned drive which is 6GB. So the img must be 6GB but as the HDD is only 4GB - thats the problem. I am about to exchange the 4GB drive to a 20GB and I will try again. And I did use WinRAR 3.50 Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/672-once-ddd-and-restarted-ebios-read-error-0x04/#findComment-4156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzy639 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 I have changed the 4GB to a 20GB drive and I used the DD command in Windows to copy the image to the unpartitioned 20GB drive. When I boot up from the drive, it says: hd(0,1) tiger-x86 Error parsing plist fileLoading Darwin/x86 Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
