lenix Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 What's up, After I get to the installation screen, I go to disk utility, Erase tab and choose Mac Extended ( Journaled ).. it erases it but it doesn't format it into Mac Extended (Journaled) and it gives a quick message down "Can't mount .... after space." and I could never mount the partition unless I erase it as FAT.. Any help is really appreciated , many thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104871-problem-while-installing-kalway-1052/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenix Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 I can't catch the whole error message, it's really really fast.. it's weird though why it's not working, i'm sure the fix is easy but i'm missing it edit: the main point is that I can't erase the volume and set it to Mac OS X Extended (Journaled).. and it only mounts when its formatted to FAT please help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104871-problem-while-installing-kalway-1052/#findComment-746696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaybc Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 can you specify if you are using a partition and what is its number or are you using a separated disk? are there any other os on this computer and if you are using guid or mbr? master or slave etc. give as much details as you can. anyway if i had to guess i would say you formated and created the partition from windows and did not use some external utility (or the disk utility) in order to create the partition. also if you can reformat the whole hard drive do it from disk utility in the installation like this: 1. on the left side (hd/partition tree view) select your harddrive (not the partition, the whole hard drive) 2. from the upper middle screen part (tabs) select the "partition" tab 3. from the "volume scheme" select the configuration you want (other then current) 4. you can point and select from the drawing each partition and set it a name, format, etc. 5. press apply 6. now go to erase as you did before it should work, hope this helps.

B.Sathish Kumar Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 People, If anyone get a quick message "Cannot mount ... after erase" when trying to install MacOSX 10.5.2 , then use some third party partitioning software like ranish partition manager and set the partition type (to which you are planning to install) to 0xAF. now in the mac installer it will show you it is mounted and you can proceed It worked for me !!! -B.Sathish Kumar, Kovilpatti Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104871-problem-while-installing-kalway-1052/#findComment-908112 Share on other sites More sharing options...
