KoA4Lyf3 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Okay I'm on a Satellite A205 With Windows Vista HP I Was trying to dual-boot Leo. I Create the partition fine, pop in the CD, format the partition for OSX Journaled. I Then proceed to install Leo. 30 Minutes later or whatever, supposedly it installed fine, and it wanted me to reboot to finish the install, so i did so. From there on, it wouldn't boot to any OS, Vista or OS X I Then go back to the mac installation, and i try to play around with disk utility till maybe its working then. I End up erasing all the info on that partitition to try to just get Vista to start. It still would not. Just try test things, I put in a windows XP cd, and when I go to the repair or install part, it says no hard drive could be found, make sure its powered on etc... Disk Utility reads my HD fine, but I can't do much in disk utility. Can I please get some help on what to do from here? Either to correctly install OS X, or just to boot vista back up.

MacNutty Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 You need to completely remove partitions and format your HDD. Because Vista will not recognise the HFS partition. You need to put Vista installation disk and repartition the whole drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
