Hahahahaha....cheers Ponch.
The only tool I need is a can of VB, no, make that a bottle of Corona Beer, it's the only tool that'll calm my frayed nerves...lol.
This is more like what I was thinking of. ..

I was thinking of doing something a bit more radical and try putting my Hackintosh in a giant Super-Hadron Collider, and then use it as a target for shooting heavy sub-atomic particles at it, just for good measure, imagine warping the very fabric that makes up the Hackintosh computer, I could possibly end up with a Quantum computer.
sounds good Doc, I'd go for it mate if you can't get this package to extract !
Yeah it's just that one package that's causing all the trouble, I might plug the usb stick into my DAW PC and have a good look at the files on it to see if I can spot anything wrong with them.Quote:

Doc surely you can ask where ever the package come from for any advice on issues extracting it or ask if there are any later versions available ?

that's it Doc, that's where all the help is on the forums !

I'm going out to my mate's place to help him out with his guitar rig again, might also help him with his PC too.
haha stuck in an office for 9 hours today Doc, probably won't get in the workshop till the weekend, but now the ICA-7 is pretty well finished I'm concentrating on the baritone tele, got some nice hand wound pups for it yesterday

wow Doc love the plans for the Hotrod strat, so what custom specs will the body have over a standard ST kit ?

I found by experiment that those Mighty Mite necks seem to fit the neck pockets on the Pitbull Guitars Strat bodies pretty well.
So, I'm going to be documenting the custom Super Strat build-process in the non-PBG section.
Should be good for doing Iron Maiden covers.
sounds like an uber cool project Doc, great stuff !
(In a TV deep voiceover)
And Thursday morning has been brought to you by the Doc and Woks show haha

Hi Doc you can't read Mac OS X disks on a PC it will only show part the files only. You have to load a Mac disc reader on Windows computers. Here's example first pic is OS X disk read with Windows. 2nd pic disk read in OS X. Here's something that might allow you to read Mac disks on PC.

Okay, I downloaded and installed it but it doesn't want to even look at the Thumbdrive's contents and I'm suspecting that it's because the Thumbdrive is formatted to Fat32.
Doc this may help. But you have to realise that if your motherboards not compatible Doc you'll never get it to work. As it doesn't have the components on your motherboard that the drivers are trying to install.https://youtu.be/NjTLYJXM8u4
KB to the rescue again ! well done KB for the IT support. I reckon there's a much better chance Doc will get it working with your support over DB's IT tech support hahah
Doc if your motherboard isn't compatible then call 1800 DB SMASH IT WITH A BIG HAMMER haha
Wokkaaa how are you. What you been up to bro. I dont know sometimes I've found the DB method works great lol. It depends on the computer.
Doc check all your components are on this list.
If there not. Good chance they won't work at all as drivers won't be on the unibeast thumbdrive. Apple block certain components, motherboards because they want you to Buy Apple computers only.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersguid...6#Motherboards
I'd build this into a nice PC later get a Compatible motherboard CPU memory and graphics card and start over. But if you get it working as it is. I think we will all be stoked for you Doc.
hey KB all good thanks, boxing on through another working week and see a tiny bit of light at the end of the "let's start the weekend tunnel" to do some axe work and lots of beer drinking hahha
How you going buddy ?
Doc seems to attract thread jackers but really we are just trying to make his threads longer hahah
Really Good thanks Woks. Been busy doing everything but guitars. Which is a shame it's my relaxation. How'd your barrels go.
What's happening in the woks projects folder. Yeah sorry Doc for the minor hijack. Doc we are trying to extend the threads for you lol.

ahha no worries Doc !
haven't had time to work on barrels for couple of weeks KB but will get back into it.
Had DB over Friday night and we had a half 44 gallon drum fire and he didn't throw my Mosrite or Iceman on the fire so I'm pretty stoked hahah
How's DBs theme tune go Doc
If I had a hammer,
I'd hammer in the morning,
I'd hammer in the evening,
All over this land,
I'd hammer out computers
I'd hammer out a warning,
I'd hammer out the hate between,
Computers and technology,
All over this land.
bwhahaha KB sounds like we should write a small tune for DB's IT support, we got the lyrics sorted !
EDIT it has just turned into the KB, Doc and Woks show !

Okay, so maybe I should wait till I have the money to buy the hardware I need from the Tonymacx86 website and start over with that, in the meantime, I could use what hardware I have to build a PC running a Linux OS, like Ubuntu.
thats a bummer Doc about all the hardware not going to work. I'm sure you will find another use for that PC as you say.
At least you now know why it won't extract the file. Good thing you didn't resort to DB's advice hahha
@ KB love the lyrics for the DB hammer song. You got time to write some basic chords ? What is the song the lyrics were originally from ?

Good question about original it's old old song ok found it https://youtu.be/Rl-yszPdRTk I thing DB should sing it with a banjo lol
