Ullswater Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hello - I'm very new to this so please excuse stupidity! I am trying to turn my Dell Latitude D430 into a Hackintosh and trying to follow the steps under "Creating a USB pen with OSX installation - Method 2 - Using our premade image". I have downloaded the image file, unzipped it, and have it in the root folder of my C drive. I have also downloaded "DD" (version 0.6beta3), also sitting in the root folder of my C drive. I have used "dd --list" to determine that my USB drive is "HarddiskVolume5" I then run the command as follows: "dd bs=1M if=sld430usb.img of=\\?\Device\HarddiskVolume5\Partion0 --progress" and get the following response: "Error native opening file: 0 The operation completed successfully" I have checked that the filename matches properly. Could anybody advise me what I am doing wrong? Many thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Leon Posted August 13, 2011 Administrators Share Posted August 13, 2011 Sounds like the file you downloaded is corrupt.. try method 2 instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarek Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I had also the same error, when I downloaded file via torrent. I did not use the //?/Device/etc as a destination, instead I used /.//i:, where I: was a ltter of the pendrive. I did that under Windows. I don't know if it is correct, but I was able to install system from the pendrive prepared this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
