dask8da Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 hi, got osx86 leopard 10.5.6 on my triple boot system and it works almost fine. i can just install a few applications which don't require to select a volume. if i try to install larger applications, on the step "Destination Select" there is no volume to choose. it's just empty. if i open disk utility i can see all my volumes. my osx volume is formatted with HFS+. my partition table is MBR. i read that it could be the reason because osx use an other partition table. so is there any way to convert the partition table or do i have to reformat and reinstall everything? i tried different partition managers like iPartition and Drive Genius but i can just edit my windows volumes and external drives, not my osx volume cause i'm signed in. is there a nice bootable partition manager for osx that partition on the fly? with disc utility i can't partition without losing data. could there be any other reason for my problem? maybe i have to set permissions? i'm logged in as admin. thanks in advance ps: sorry for my bad english.

vilpostus Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 There could be no free space on the disk. If that would be MBR/GUID problem, you probably would not install anything at all. IMHO. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversi...hp/t183105.html http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversi...php/t77690.html Or simply check the disk. Maybe it is going to broke.
