spectre_hfx Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hi, I have been trying to install OSx86 for a while now. I had a tiger install at one point, but not so much luck now. I have used a few different 10.5.6 cd's, and a few lower leopard ones as well. I used gparted to make an HFS+ partition, and when i go to install osx86, it can not be read. The disk utility does not seem able to mount it. I can't erase it or anything. I do not want to install it on my entire HD, as I have an ubuntu install as well. What can i do? Specs: some Western Digital SATAII hard drive, intel core 2 duo. Asus P5K/EPU mobo thanks.
