dude998866 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 My partiontioning atempt always fails when it goes to create a partition map and then freezes the computer. I have read that this is due to the SATA driver and that I should use a 3rd party utility to partition and format an HFS+ partition. However Gparted wouldn't work on my computer (Compaq F700). Are there some other utilities that support HFS+ that I could use Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109768-partitioning-fails/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude998866 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Anyone? I know there has to be a utility out there somewere that can create hfs+ partitions. The closest so far was PartedMagic but it couldn't create hfs+ partitions, only modify them... so if someone could please tell me of an application that can do this I would be eternally greatfull.

parachute Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 - Grab "Hiren's BootCD 9.5" from http://maxt.dk/search/9.5/ - Burn that image on a CD as an ISO, not data CD. - Boot with the CD and use Acronis or Paragon partitioning apps. Edit: Try others if these fail in first hand. There are tons of tools (partitioning apps and other HW related) on this CD. - Partition the HDD. Don't forget to format some 20GB+ partition for OSX as FAT32. - Now boot with the OSX86 installation DVD. Open Disk Utility. Erase that FAT32 partition as Mac OS Journaled. - Install Leopard on that partition. - Next time... Search! Similar info is everywhere on this forum... For years! Edit: Modified the apps section. Edit-2: Just a quick proof you must google before asking: - I googled http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&cli...amp;btnG=Search - The result I picked for you: http://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=14711 It's also a proof that your computer doesn't like NIX partitioning tools BTW.
