arcticsheep Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I know the usual steps it takes to fix this here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=22844 but mine is particularly strange. Apple recognizes the four partitions I have as disk0s1, s2, then it goes straight to s5 and s6. Is that okay? Because then when I set disk0s6 (fdisk sees it as partition 4) to active I still get the same error... Can anyone help with this? Thanks UPDATE: It appears that I installed my mac into an extended partition... I know what the problem is but I don't exactly know how to fix it without having to change everything!... I think the missing partitions were really the opening of the "extension" and they were just hidden... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacNutty Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Use Carbon Copy Cloner or Disk Utilities (need to boot from installation disk) to make a image of your leopard HDD. After making an image, format / or use your HDD Primary Partition to extract the made image. This will copy your installation without any changes and you will get all the things as same it was.
