Chipmunkzors Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hey I'm using the Leopard HD install helper, I formatted to FAT32, used it. It all worked fine but It doesn't boot. I can select it and it says stuff about darwin or something, I don't think it errors, but then restarts the computer and doesnt boot into installer. I think it's because I didn't change the partition ID, but I don't have any partition programs. The trials on them don't allow to change the partition ID and I don't want to pirate some partition software. Is there some free alternative? And is the partition ID the issue in the first place?

Chipmunkzors Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm afraid I dont think that allows you to change the id. I checked through the command list.
