Jenis12 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have used Empire EFI v1.085 to get to the Mac OS X installer. But The problem is that I only have 1 hard drive that is already partitioned and has Windows 7, Windows XP and My data. I can't Install mac os without making a GUID partition which erases my hard drive and i have to start all over again. I tried to make a partition in windows then i went to mac os installer and formated it in Mac OS(journald) but it didn't work! So i need your help installing mac os with out erasing my hard drive. I want to install it on another Partition. Thanks in Advance!! I FOUND A PATCH THAT LETS YOU INSTALL ON MBR PARTITION BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO PUT IT ITS CALLED OSINSTALL.MPKG!!

user01100 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 That's because you try installing it from a retail dvd. Try installing it to a stick or an external disk and then restore it to that partiton. Or you could use a modified retail copy for GUID and MBR install, but still in the idea of being a "retail', no other patches included there. ->go to bay and search for a snow with DVD5 in the title Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/211498-can-anyone-solve-this/#findComment-1416757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

user01100 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Mount the img. Make hidden files visible. Go to system>installation>packages> replace the package. Make the files hidden again. But this is from an already installed mac os x (mac or hac). Same "path" to replace from windows; way not so sure. I gave you a more simple way, but i see it's hard for you. But in the other hand you trying to do what is already done in that img, i suggested. In the other hand is a good way to learn. So, depends on you what you think is the simplest, easiest way, to do it or to learn.
