Achromatic Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Trying to get OSX 10.6.3 (following a guide from here) on my: P6X58D-E, Core i7-950, 12GB ATI Radeon HD 5870 SATA DVDRW on port 0 Corsair 128GB SSD on port 1 Diskutil sees the drive at the installer, but attempting to erase / create a empty HFS partition with GUID only results in it "Unmounting Disk" forever. I used a boot CD to erase the existing partitions and make it effectively an empty disk (though I didn't attempt to convert to GUID from that tool)... but still, no joy. Any ideas welcome!

Go to the Partition tab and create one partition Mac OS X Extended Journaled.
