Okay so I installed perfectly no problems.. then I rebooted and I got this "HFS+ partition error" any idea why this happening? I'm trying to dual boot with Windows Vista.. I made a fat32 partition (named leopard), installed fine, then I'm getting this error.. what do I do? :(

 

 

note: I also tried booting with the windows vista cd to see if i can restore the vista's bootloader but no luck.. it didn't even acknowledge that vista was installed.

Does vista offer an option to view partitions in use during setup like WinXP does? If so, can you see the seperate partitions for your different OS's?

 

Also, please add system specs and you will receive more responses.

You made a fat32 parttion named leopard?And what did you installed in it? And how?Are you using EFI? If so, please repeat the last step of the EFI installation.
I havent tried EFI, I used Kalyway 10.5.2 .. I tried fdisk in single user mode did not work. (it said permission denied when i used the command "write") The installation process went fine I even booted into Leopard no probloems with the cd.. my problem is getting the Vista back and using the vista bootloader so I can use EasyBCD to make a boot file for Leopard.I'm trying to dual boot Vista & Leopard on the same hard drive.

It does.. but It's impossible when the MBR is crippled.

 

specs are

 

amd 64 3200

msi k8n neo2-f

2gb memory

wd sata2 hard drive
