murcielago585 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I just got the 10.4.6 Jas DVD. it installs perfectly when i disable my alc882 audio in the bios. I have one problem which seems to be happening with a lot of people. the thing is, i am not dual booting with XP. What i do is create a FAT32L partiton which fills up my whole disk and I choose for it to be primary and it is activated. Once I install and restart i always get the HFS+ partition error. Can someone please help, i;ve never had this problem with any earlier releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 If you have a blank drive dedicated to OS X, use a Linux Live CD and boot from it. You can use gparted and wipe the whole drive. Then do the normal OS X install you are used to doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

**MaT** Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Have you tried installing to a completely blank drive? So use a windows 98 or xp install disk to re-partition it to one partition and then use the install disk. Make sure you choose the jas patches when you install. I forgot this the first time and ended up having to do it all over again . Also make sure the drive your installing from is set to master as this can cause all sorts of problems.
