tjadus Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 After booting up the patched installation DVD (version 1.4.4) I can't select a harddisk to install OSX86 on. So I tried to run the Disk Utility, but I can't format an empty partition when running VMWare. And I can't use the keyboard when I run the installation natively. What would be the best solution?

In disk utility select "1 partition" from the drop down instead of "current" (which looks like one partition). Then it should partitioin and format the virtual drive and mount it.

waradmin Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Select to use Hard Disk mode not virtual mode, select which partition to use, go to advanced and check the Independent-Persistent box and then start up and install OS X and format the second partition.
