hgnand Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 hi. I partitioned my hard disk using Easeus Partition Home Edition. Then I attempted installing mac on my pc. While it was running the installer an error message popped up saying that Mac could not be installed. Then I went to Disk utility and erased & formatted my partition to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). After this I rebooted my computer and am unable to boot from my primary hard drive to run XP. Does anyone know how to undo the formatting of the partition (back to NTFS)? Thanks!

It isn't quite clear what you are trying to do. Did you format your XP partition as HFS+? It won't be easy to get it back, try Acronis Disk Director (also available as one of the many Hiren's BootCD tools, google for it). Or do you mean that you can't boot XP? If that is the case, try what I suggested here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...=162958&hl= Post #2 Or do you want to dual boot? That is yet another matter.
