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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/224377-boot0-error-2tb-drive/ 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.

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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/224377-boot0-error-2tb-drive/#findComment-1507794 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
