helob Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Any1 ? Please help me , i'm stuck and hopeless ) Looks like the partition table on Disk0 has ben damaged. Some partitions look like its missing. You can only boot from the first 4 primary partitions. When you format Disk0, how many partitions did you make and what type?

adrian999 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Ok, hope this helps someone out. I discovered that in my particular case, the system did not boot without an [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD due to the fact that my partition was over 1TB. So dropping my partition to 1tB made it boot perfectly. Found this out on tonymacx86 forums FYI. Good luck to you all! I have been having the same problem with 1 single 2TB Western Digital Hard Drive. Do you happen to have a link for that thread relating to size of the hard drive on tonymac forums?

Billie1123 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi there, I've just followed the guide, but I still have the same problem after the instalation when I boot: Boot0 MBR Boot0 done Boot1 error This is a picture of the diskutility http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/8623/dsc00538x.jpg Can anyone tell me if the disk where the partition is is the number 0 and the MACOSX partition is the number 1. 'Cause this is how I configured it, and I'm not sure it's correct. Thanks =) When i type p it`s say: command not found ? Please HELP You must write "fdisk(space)-e(space)/dev/rdisk0" <- replace 0 if necessary before you write the command p Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22844-how-to-setting-your-partition-active-using-fdisk-in-macosx/page/7/#findComment-1610369 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which shows the active partition and can change it.
