Hi! everybody..

 

first of all i have a MBP 1.1 with my DVDReader BROKEN! so i just can use a USB memory

 

i'm kinda out of ideas.. for today.

0k here's the thing.. a year ago (maybe more) i've installed openSolaris like this http://bit.ly/50uAG

so..

 

now i try to install windowXP but fails to install with a bluescreen of death but then i realise that of course windows can't beacouse the partitions..

 

i use to have a 70Gi for MacOSX and 22Gi for openSolaris.. and my bro without knowing says i found another partition of 200M or so .. is "new" now and FAT

and i look and found that was EFI partition (i think!, not sure)

 

well DiskUtility (even commandline) and others App can't do nothing about it! i mean the only thing i can do was format..

 

i've start to get help on internet.. everywehere and the only thing i could do was that get some things work.. like diskUtility now can erase the second partition.. but fail to create a new one.. then did it but this is what i had right now.. i've fix some problems with gdisk and fdisk, could make boot ANY rescue distro but fail in boot in the second step.. i mean BOOT

 

weird things happend in my partition table but i don't know anymore

i fix the NO GPT partition table present and that now this is what i got

 

 

*** Report for internal hard disk ***

Current GPT partition table:
#      Start LBA      End LBA  Type
1             40     47375591  Mac OS X HFS+
2       47637736     48047335  EFI System (FAT)
3       48309480    195109383  Mac OS X HFS+
