zerograin Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I have a hitachi deskstar 2tb, and a seagate barracuda 2tb, both giving me boot0: error . I've tried setting both drives to primary as instructed here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=117554 . Still no go. Even moved the drive to my hackintosh laptop to see if it will boot, same error. I have a 500GB and many other drive sizes, no prob. Is there a limitation to the boot size? Is anyone having the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovethewater Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Are you using GPT (GUID) or MBR? I have seen mention that there is a 2TB limit on MBR, so it might be worth looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasjeet Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 IIRC there is a problem with 1Tb drives, you have to make 500Gb Partitions on them. So make 4 500Gb partitions on all your drives. This may fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerograin Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 IIRC there is a problem with 1Tb drives, you have to make 500Gb Partitions on them. So make 4 500Gb partitions on all your drives. This may fix it. That is what I was afraid of... oh well. I did try splitting two 1TB, and that didn't work. I'll try 500GB partition next. BTW, the drive is configured with GUID. I read if I can get a 500GB (it was one 1TB in the post instance) partition to boot, I can resize it to 2TB and it will still boot? Has anyone else done this?
