ozmend Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I finally got the iso (10.4.6 JaS) to install on vmware 5... everything went smooth until I had to reboot. During the install I had to have disk utility format the logical partition for me so I could instal osx. I used the journaled option. Now VMWare 5 wont open the virtual drive because the table has been changed from FAT32 to hfs+. So I tried installing Acronis disk director which sees the other partition but is labeled "unknown OS". I try to boot from it and it just says "error boot hfs+". I would love to run this natively but if I have to settle with VMWare then so be it. I followed the instructions exactly as posted here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=11314 THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE... I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A DAMN WEEK!!!!!!!! also I have tried to install this natively but I kept getting a "waiting for root device" (that whole string is here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...092;.4\.6) message that couldnt be solved. This is being performed on an HP zv6130US laptop with an athlon64 3200+. If you can solve either of these problems then you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 My understanding is that OSX should be installed on a primary partition, not a logical one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
