aspcartman Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I have HP Pavilion notebook. GPT. Mac 10.5.6. *** Report for internal hard disk *** Current GPT partition table: # Start LBA End LBA Type 1 40 409639 Unknown 2 409640 437371215 Mac OS X HFS+ 3 437371216 488392064 EFI System (FAT) Current MBR partition table: # A Start LBA End LBA Type 1 1 488397167 ee EFI Protective MBR contents: Boot Code: Unknown, but bootable Partition at LBA 40: Boot Code: None File System: ext3 Listed in GPT as partition 1, type Unknown Partition at LBA 409640: Boot Code: Unknown, but bootable File System: HFS Extended (HFS+) Listed in GPT as partition 2, type Mac OS X HFS+ Partition at LBA 437371216: Boot Code: None File System: HFS Extended (HFS+) Listed in GPT as partition 3, type EFI System (FAT) Why would i made GTP on Hack? I thought PCEFI won't run on MBR... My bad... I know. But it's more then half a year now, system is very stable. I don't want to remove it, noway. But i need XP here (for games only). As u can see i have 3 partition. GTP is messed up by gparted, which means that first and third partitions are not recognized, not mountable and not editable by diskutility. So i can't remove 'em, erase. What i need: A) Install on third one winXP and make it bootable (gparted freely do this job) Convert GTP to MBR back. C) Repair this damn GPT, remove this messed up partitions and resize second one on full drive. Is any of this possible? WinXP installator does not see GPT - only full, nonformated drive. rEFIt is not working (i install it but nothing changes - chameleon starts, not refit). I'm not afraid of messing boot - i have boot 132 disk. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/158982-mac-and-xp-on-hackintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
