wizkidweb Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Well you didn't have to uninstall all of that. When I first installed OSX, I got the No HFS Partition Found error. So you might have installed everything fine. To fix the HFS Partition error, you need to boot the Windows DVD, go to something like "Fix my computer" (It's a link before you click on the big "Install" button), and load the command prompt. There you want to type: diskpart This will load the diskpart program in command prompt. You then want to type: list disk Select the disk your Windows partition is in. This might take some guesswork, so make sure you know the sizes of your different partitions. Then type (replacing the 0 with the number of your selected disk): select disk 0 Then type: list part This will list the partitions in the selected disk. Select the partition your Windows install is in by using (again, replacing the 0 with your partition number): select part 0 Then type: active This will make your windows partition the active one. If this doesn't fix the HFS Partition error problem, repairing using the Windows DVD might do the trick. I hope this is of some help.
