ssprod Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Greetings, is it possible to install Snow on a 3TB Drive without partitioning? Used TonyMac's method + Chameleon, all is well until I install [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].... get a bunch of boot "0" errors.

srs5694 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I don't know about Chameleon specifically, but a lot of boot loaders include 32-bit disk sector number limits, and that limits their ability to boot anything from above the 2 TiB mark. If some critical file happens to fall above that point, the boot will fail. I can't say with certainty that you're running into this specific problem, but you might be. Certainly it's worth repartitioning your disk and trying again. IMHO, this is advisable anyhow -- for flexibility when re-installing, it's best to separate your OS system files from your personal data files so that you can wipe the OS clean without affecting your personal data. With a 3 TB disk, this is even more important, since it's hard to back up and restore so much data, should you need to completely wipe the installation partition.
