Timmy10 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hi, I all ready used this guid: From: TopazBar This guide is for restoring our nice, working hackintosh's darwin bootloader. Basically, Vista RTM foobars our working MBR's bootloader and you get "HFS+ partition error". In following, I will assume we have one HDD with two partitions: part#1 = OSX and part#2 = Vista 1. Boot off OSX dvd disc in single user mode (press F8 and type -s) 2. At single user prompt fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag 1 update write quit 4 reboot At this point OSX should boot up, just like prior to Vista installation. 1 In a terminal window, su root fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag 2 quit 2 reboot Vista will say "\Window\system32\winload" corrupted, and it will tell you to insert Vista disc and recover. Follow directions from Vista and recover, then reboot. Check Vista boots and works fine. 1. Boot off OSX dvd disc for single user one last time (press F8 and type -s) 2. At single user prompt fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag 1 quit 3. reboot You will discover that Vista recovered and left MBR's darwin bootloader intact . Happy ending. But when I try to get acces to my Leopard Partition (numer 1 in this case, not 0) It says he can't writ the new partition label to it. I tried to set the Vista partition (0) as Flag 2 and then i tried to boot Leopard but it won't boot, it just reboot's after that. I've got this problem after i installed Leopard, Vista worked perfectly befor that. ( I can't boot Vista right now but i'm fixin that) Does anyone knows a answer how i can get Leopard booting?

LeGebäck Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hi, the command fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 selects your harddisk. Which means that the 0 is essential - you'll need to change the stuff with "flag" according to your partitions ( remember the partition table starts at 1 ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100699-hfs-partition-error-after-leopard-installation-with-vista/#findComment-718417 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gujal Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 the boot code is written to MBR meaning rdisk0, so you chose /dev/rdisk0 if you have only one disk and the flag command is to set a partition active, in your case depending on which is the first partition could be 1 or 2. What you are doing here is putting the MBR boot code and activating the Leopard partition. Once you do it, Leopard should boot. But to get Vista working again, you should mark it active and boot with Vista CD and repair and then mark leopard partition active. However all this is for MBR installation, it may/will not work on GUID partitions Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100699-hfs-partition-error-after-leopard-installation-with-vista/#findComment-721644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeRoNiXxX Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 if Leopard is on partition two you need to put flag 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100699-hfs-partition-error-after-leopard-installation-with-vista/#findComment-721705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
