dalandau Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 For some reason I cant burn Kalyway to a DVD I tryed and wasted about 50-60 dvd trying. So I was thinking Would it be possible to burn kalyway on an external hd ? I couldnt find an answer on my own. I like finding things on my own.

00diabolic Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Yes you can do it. This is how I think you do it but there may be a step i'm missing. Take the DMG/ISO and use disk utility to restore it to the USB drive partition (you can do this by booting from a already burned leo/tiger DVD or a tiger install). Then use fdisk to mark that same partition active. Then you should be able to boot from that drive and install. If I missed a step please correct me.

00diabolic Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Do you have a tiger install or you can get kalway's bootable tiger CD. ITs called make bootable CD for leopard. google it. If your having trouble burning the DVD try 1x or 2.4x and it should burn fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2manydjs Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I've been trying to do this as well, so far without success.. hdiutil gives me the following information on the Kalyway .iso Reading Apple (Apple_partition_map : 1)… Reading MACOSXBOOT (Apple_ISO : 2)… Reading Mac OS X Install (Apple_HFS : 3)… I think the main problem is the MACOSXBOOT partition. I can restore the Mac OS X Install partition to my USB HD, but it will not boot and I think because I'm missing the first one. My idea is the next; partition the HD myself to replicate the two partitions above and restore the two partitions on the .iso to the HD. The problem is I can't seem to extract the MACOSXBOOT partition. I have looked at the MAN pages of hdiutil but can't seem to attach or mount the first partition.. Is there somebody with more experience on image partitions? How do I restore or extract that Apple_ISO partition? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitallysick Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hope you figure out how to do it, i'm getting an msi wind soon, and haven't figured out how i will burn an iso to a usb drive , so i can boot kalyway seems like toast could burn it the same way it does a cd?

2manydjs Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 What about this: sudo dd if=kalyway.dmg of=/dev/disk# bs=1m I think this might work.. I'll try it when I'm home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pivy Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 2manydjs i tryed it but it gives me an error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2manydjs Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Make sure the volume is unmounted and use sudo. The dd works fine for me, however it seems the volume is not bootable. At least not for my Acer.. I've tried making the partition active with "parted", but so far no luck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2manydjs Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Apparently OSx86 Tools should be able to create a bootable USB disk from a restored Kalyway disc. Click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdant Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 For some reason I cant burn Kalyway to a DVD I tryed and wasted about 50-60 dvd trying. So I was thinking Would it be possible to burn kalyway on an external hd ? I couldnt find an answer on my own. I like finding things on my own. A couple of relevant Qs 1. Have you checked that the MD5 checksum of your downloaded Kalaway.iso is correct? 2. What OS, what software application and what burn option in that software are you using to burn the .iso image to DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrayal Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 [EDIT] I haven't had the chance to test, but try checking: http://forums.msiwind.net/mac-f32/install-...ve-t843-20.html As it happens, I've been working on this. I've got pretty close, but I'm not quite there. I'm actually working on a mass multi-boot disc, so my booting method is a bit odd. Currently, I have 2 partitions, a 10 gig fat32 and 10gig HFS+. I restored the .dmg from Leo4All v3 onto the HFS+ partition, then installed syslinux on the fat32 partition chainloading to grub4dos (I set this partition active). Then I edited com.apple.boot.plist to add the line "rdisk=disk0s2". I copied the boot files from the other partition on the DVD. Finally, I used on grub4dos: kernel BOOT rootnoverify(hd0,1) boot And...it appears to boot most of the way, but eventually hangs on waiting for root device. I'm not sure if this is a problem specific to this computer or what...makeactive makes no difference. My other idea was to create a 'live' USB stick, and add the install files to the USB - would this be possible? Cheers, Wrayal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODaWii Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 how would you do this from windows? I don't have a running osx system to use only windows 7 x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krishna21 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 50-60 DVD's? Really? o_O Use IMGBurn for Windows, and burn it at 4x. Use a DVD+R or DVD-RW. If that doesn't work - then it's a bad ISO file probably. But anyway, no harm in trying this method. -Grab a 8GB or larger USB Flash Drive. -Have access to a working OS X Vmware machine with WORKING USB.. -Have the CHameleon 2.0 RC2 Installer.. -The Kaly ISO 1) Download the Chameleon installer on Windows and put it on your flash drive. 2) Power on the VM. 3) Mount your Kalyway ISO and USB Flash Drive. They should show up on the desktop.. 4) Drag the Chameleon installer to your desktop 5) Head to disk Utility. Format you flash drive as ONE PARTITION - MAC OS EXTENDED (JOURNALED) - MASTER BOOT RECORD Name it. for ease, we'll name it MAC OS SETUP. 6) Minimize disk utility. Run the chameleon installer from your desktop. On "Ready to install" click "Change destination" and select "MAC OS SETUP" as the destination. Click OK and install. 7) After installing, open up Disk Utility again. 8) Go to the restore tab. Drag MAC OS SETUP from the left device list and set it to "Destination" (Or it might be called "Target"), and drag the Kalyway DVD to "Source", 9) Click Restore. After restoring, go to the desktop, right click on your flash drive and click "Eject" or "Unmount" 10) Reboot the PC. Select the USB from the boot menu. Now, chameleon should show up. Highlight the apple logo. Type whatever boot command you need to, it'll show up at the bottom left hand corenr of the screen. Push Enter. You should now go to the installer =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
