dark4181 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 aren't you supposed to format the drive in FAT32 Primary, and NOT NTFS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivhon Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Yes I formated the disk in FAT32 and than when I was instaling OS X I formated it in Mac OS X (J.......) ... just dont know what the problem is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_duff Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Try booting the installation DVD and run the Disc Utillity. Do a repair on the disc, and see what the error it. My hackintosh fell over yesterday with the famous "Invalid Node Structure" fault. Looks like it is a bit of a common fault. Maybe has something to do with 10.4.7. My HP notebook has had 10.4.6 on it for about 6 months without a fault. My desktop had only been built a few weeks ago. Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 My hackintosh fell over yesterday with the famous "Invalid Node Structure" fault. Looks like it is a bit of a common fault. Maybe has something to do with 10.4.7. Has nothing to do with 10.4.7. The OS keeps an index of all the files on your hard drive so it can find them. It is updating this index all the time because files are being written all the time - cache files, log files, journaling files, swap files. At any time a stray electron can come in from static electricity, a spike in power, a defect in a chip, etc. This electron can cause the index software to write a 1 where a 0 should be or vice versa. So the index has a corruption. Eventually, the OS tries to write a file and discovers something else is already supposed to be there. That is when you need to repair your disk. You should really do it on a regular basis - weekly or monthly at least. Anyway, the faulty index is your "Invalid Node Structure" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artanis Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 "stray electrons" would destroy ANY filesystem if they caused issues like that consistantly. the only way you're going to see index corruption is if there is a bug in the driver for the hardware, or if the drive was unmounted improperly (hard reset) before a sync operation could write cached indexes to disk. there is no way everyone who has this problem all have defective hardware / power spikes / static electricity issues. computers dont flip bits on a whim like that.
