jarett19 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Ok, so I was able to install onto an external hard drive. But it's not as fast as I think it could be. So I made a partition on my internal HDD and named it apple. When I get the installer loaded up I click on the partition and it says something like "You cannot install on this volume scheme. Re-partition using GUID partition tab in disk utility.". Or it says something along those lines. So I got to disk utility and select my whole HDD so I can get the partition tab and it wont let me re-partition/change the volume scheme. What should I do? Or how can I re-partition it? I'm using Empire legacy efi to boot it up into the leopard install disk. my processor is an intel celeron 900 with 3gb ram and an intel graphics card Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207615-cant-install-on-my-partition/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangten Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 If you have a USB to SATA dongle or 3.5 external HDD drive cradle. Simply mount and configure drive that way. I ran into something similar to that using my internal SATA but then switched to my external dongle with my internal HDD and everything went well. I use Chameleon 3 with graphics string for full 64 bit support on my HD4850.
