alexs Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 OK, so I installed (I thought successfully) 10.4.6 over a working (although largely academic) install of 10.4.1 (deadmoo). It was dual booting fine using chain0. It all seemed to go so smoothly....until.... After the install, I can't boot OS X anymore. when I select it in the OS select menu, the screen goes blank for a second and then right back to the menu. XP boots fine. Everything checks out. Both partitions are primary, the Mac partition is type AF. I even set the mac partition to Active, to bypass the OS select menu, and then I get the HFS+ Partition Error and a hang... any ideas?

i1sam Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 most of them got the working using chain0, unfortunately im not one of them, i got around this HFS+ Partition Error in triboot vista, xp and insanelyOSten thru installing Acronis OS Selector, under the Acronis Disk director 10, under xp ofcourse..., its a slow booting using this, compare to the just using the Darwine boot loader....but it works with no probs try to see if x86 resides on th 1st partition, and use disk utility in doing the partitioning.. install on the 1st partition osx and xp on the next... i read it here in this forum, that sometimes on a diff harware osx doesnt like to reside on extended partition even active primary one..for me on dual boot this works 100%, just make the 1st osx partition active, also using acronis boot media (bootable cd create under acronis disk director)... here how i did it 1. boot on the osx dvd 2. partition using disk util, make 2 part, 1st part hfs journaled, 2nd part fat32 3. install osx on part 1.... after successfull install... test a little then 4. restart and boot on the xp cd..complete th installation... test it then 5. boot using acronis bootable media.. of other utils you like that will let you change the active partition, make part 1 the osx part at active... 6. and bataboom... darwin partition oki.. can change osx and win and more tweaks on the WIKI on changing time seconds on booting..

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.
