naplo Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hi, I just wanted to install Leo4AllV3 on my laptop but I want to keep my windows partitions as they are. So I took the last 15gig of my harddrive and deallocated them before starting up with the leo4all dvd. I wanted to create a 15gig osx partition now but the Disk Utility is only able to partition the whole HDD instead of just the 15gig of unallocated space. What do I have to do to create a partition out of these 15gb? Really appreciate some help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101693-problem-with-creating-a-osx-partition/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
naplo Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 I tried it with NTFS, FAT32 and unallocated disk space now, but its just not working. I also used Acronis as well as gparted for creating the partition. But I'm still not able to format the partition with the integrated "Disk Utility" to the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system. All the options always stays grey so I can't do anything with that. The only way would be to create a new partition of the whole HDD, but I don't want to loose the other two Windows NTFS partitions. Can someone please give me some advice or is there a detailed guide how to do it?

ty1ong Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 First, you need to use some Partition software to resize your HD in order to have free space for the new partition then format new partition with FAT32 named OSX Second, Reboot with Leo4all DVD, use Diskutil to select OSX and erase. Hope this help. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101693-problem-with-creating-a-osx-partition/#findComment-749007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
