XLostSpartanX Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I installed OS X with JaS's 10.4.6 dvd. I followed teh tutorial in the genius bar, amking a Fat 32 Logical partition. Then I used Disk Ultity to erase it to a Mac OS X Extended. IT all installed fine, but when I try to boot into it though Acronis OS Manager, I get "HFS+ Partition Error". Please help, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkosx Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 You need to make sure your hfs partition is Primary and active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkosx Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 When your in the acronis loader goto ''Disk director'' then select your osx partition right click and goto advanced then ''set active'' make sure you press the little flag button so it sets active and it should work.

Ok I tried that, but there was no option to set it as active. There was on some of the other partitions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittel Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 are you dual booting OS X? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voggorb Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I have the exact same problem. Done everything the same way with the same version of the iso. I cant set it to active anywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob019 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 If you're not trying to dual boot and you're getting the HFS+ partition error message, than I have an easy fix. Get to a terminal and type "sudo fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0" To get the the terminal you can either boot with an OSX86 install disc (like Jas or goatsecx) and wait for it to timeout (boot your install) or enter single user mode. Once you've executed the command it will ask you to confirm the operation. Answer yes and you should have no trouble next time you boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
