Hello people.

 

I'm in my first experience with iATKOS (v7) and also with the OSX. Partition my HD as follows:

 

[P] WinXP (FAT32) (Active)

 

[P] STORAGE (FAT32)

 

[P] OSX (HFS +)

 

[E ]-------

 

[L] ArchLinux (EXT3)

 

[L] Swap (SWAP)

 

 

 

 

I made the HFS + partition with the gparted Arch, the installer detects my hard drive and all partitions appear in Disk Utility. However, when he asks-me where I want to install, all partitions disappears.

 

What can be?

 

Thanks.

I wouldn't trust GParted in HFS+ partitioning. It is very powerful tool though the HFS+ is not fully supported. So format OS X target partition to FAT in GParted, then in formate it to HFS+ in OS X disk utility.

 

If no go it may be MBR/GUID partition type problem. Though many people have OS X installed on to MBR partition map drives.

 

Also it may be a SATA controller driver problem (probably Nforce). Use another distro.

OS X disk utility, dont work here
what do you mean?
And I have IDE controller
I see. Though the same applies to IDE controllers as well. If there are no proper IDE controller driver, the device may not work properly.
How i can fix MBR?
I don't think you want to do it in your current configuration. You will have to reformat the whole drive. So you will lose any data on it.
