USB2.0 5400RPM ~38GB HD No Work

[Udedenkz]

I tried. I didn't feel like :censored2: ing with my internal HardDrive... so I used an external rather-slow but functioning Hard Drive.

 

I created a 8GB Journaled Partition, the rest MSDOS.

 

OS X installed. Restarted -> Booted To HardDrive.

 

Got a Hexadecimal Value and a HSF+ or HFS+ Partition Error.

 

Restarted back to cd did "fdisk -u /dev/rdisk1" I think. (Googled Error Got These Directions)

 

That made that error go away. gave me a b0 or something like that error this time.

 

tried "fdisk -e /dev/rdisk1" I think then, print, then I marked a partition with something, save, restarted... (Again Googled Error Got These Directions)

 

Now I get a blinking "_" (Underscore / Minus thing) and that is it.

 

The OS X is on that journaled partition thing ~ the partitioning thing from boot DVD says so, but for the dark of me it don't boot.

 

I tried some other things with fdisk but still no go.

 

Should I reinstall in a different fashion? K thanks.

 

EDIT: kalyway disk. I used it once before to install to a partition on the internal 7600 RPM SATA, and it worked but I did not feel like making both my windowses and OSX to boot... so I just gave up... So it works on my Hardware, just didn't install loader or something.

Anyone know a possible solution?

Try installing with another EFI, or boot loader. I had the blinking _ when I used iATKOS, but that thing got away when I dumped Kalyway in my external 40Gb HDD.

 

MAke sure you format in EFS+ (Mac extended journaled), that you use MBR (click Option in Diskutil, choose MBR). It should work.
