didonk Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hi I'm trying to install OSX Leopard on a Dell Latitude E6400 in dual boot with Ubuntu. I've been trying to install it with two releases of the 10.5.6 version: XxX with no patch and iPC with all pacthes up to 5. The problem is the same for both releases: when I arrive on the Select destination screen, it is empty. I can see the hard drive and the partitions when I launch the Disk Utilitary or when I do "df -k" in a terminal. My hard drive is structured as follow when I scan it with gparted: /dev/sda1: ext3: Ubuntu system. /dev/sda3: ext3: Data storage. /dev/sda4: HFS: created through erasing the partition in the disk utilitary. /dev/sda5: ext3: Swap Inside the disk utilitary the /dev/sda4 (HFS) partition is considered as a Linux partition despite the fact that it's considered as HFS by gparted. Maybe the problem comes from this HFS/Linux partition problem. I also tried to just leave some empty space on the hard drive but the disk utilitary seems to be unable to create a new partition along other ones previously created.

didonk Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 I found the solution: The ext3 partition sda3 was an extended partition before the sda4 one where I wanted to install MacOS. I moved sda3 to the end of the hard drive, deleted sda2. Then I created a new sda2 volume abd I can install MacOS on it.
