Edw Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 1. if you hv an existing mac partition, make sure the MacDrive or any software which mount the volume is disabled 2. according to http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=6038 Hey I'm pretty sure I have your answer....... I have an Acer Aspire 3000. It is not anything to do with the Extended partitions, it is the fact that there is actually a hidden service/backup partition, formatted as FAT, before the system drive. So, if I have the recovery drive, and then my windows boot drive, and then the temporary drive I wanted to move tiger-x86-flat.img to, it would NOT be: dd if=c:tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2 bs=512 skip=63 (if tiger-x86-flat.img was on the C: drive obviously) BUT dd if=c:tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition3 bs=512 skip=63 as the drive is the third partition, not the second, because that would just be copying to the C: Drive, giving you the error.
