Rammjet Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Hey i installed through vmware through a physical partition. The partition is a fat 32 primary type= AF When you installed OSX, the first thing to do is format (erase) the partition with Disk Utility. It formats the partition as HFS+. OSX cannot reside on a FAT 32 formatted partition.

Rammjet Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 OK, probably need to set the OSX partition "active". You can use fdisk or one of the partition apps or you can try this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=22844 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23226-acronis-not-reconizing/#findComment-153929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
