sladeslade Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I'm trying to dd the leopard-x86-flat-img to the drive i desire to pur into my sse3 machine, i've used disk util and selected "free space" (no partition) and "master boot record" -> now problem: my darwin usage is dd if=leopard-flat-img of=/dev/disk0 when i press the enter key, it keeps spinning for a while and copies data for like 15 minutes and then it holds and says "input output error" displays the copied bytes and so on. i have now tried this on four different drives, so it can't possibly be a damaged drive... can anybody tell me what's going on here?

macgirl Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 you can't dd directly on the disk but into a partition /dev/disk0s1 (or whatever your partition is) you only use disk0 for bootloader.

sladeslade Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 you can't dd directly on the disk but into a partition /dev/disk0s1 (or whatever your partition is) you only use disk0 for bootloader. the drive i want to dd the image on is connected to my macbook via usb and once successfully dd-ed i want to put it into my sse3 machine and run standalone, w/o any other os systems. are you sure, this is the problem, because the original command (made for windows dd) does dd onto the disk, the author even pointed out, to delete any partitions before dd-ing. original command: dd if=leopard-x86-flat-img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk1\Partition0 bs=5M --progress pause Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/74232-dd-on-darwin-corrupts-harddrive/#findComment-524405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sladeslade Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 ok, i made it, finalle got it on a disk, and, yay, it started up, but, aww, it freezes before going into login screen, it gave me this hpet errors before, so i deleted the applecpupowermanagement and extensions.kext --> still freezes, last 2 lines are like "loading login screen" and "InterfaceNamer, no network interface, can't open uuid" --> starting without the -v results "press restart oder hold down power button" i run a pentium 4, 3,2ghz with HyperThreading and an ASUS board any suggestions?
