Emaeth Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 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.

vilpostus Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 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.

vilpostus Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 OS X disk utility, dont work herewhat do you mean?And I have IDE controllerI 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.

vilpostus Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Try fixing it via fsck_hfs /dev/diskXs1 where X is number of the disk with the OS X partition, 1 is the number of partition for OS X. Change according to your setup. Try another install disk maybe?
