DavidT Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I have decided Mac OS X is just not the OS for me (at least on a PC) I have a $3000 machine and none of it is being utilized in OS X. So i am trying to get Windows back on to my Computer and then I encountered a problem. How do you format a hard drive from Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to NTFS? I have tried booting from the Windows disk and that was a no go. Any suggestions? (I know this doesn't really fit in this forum, but its the best one I could think of, more like OSx86 Uninstallation) EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention the entire drive is formated to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidT Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 *bump* I know it hasn't been long but I'm trying to get it done before the end of the day. Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdhore Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 you can't directly do it the way you're thinking...you have to delete the HFS+ partition and create a new partition and format it as NTFS...and this is true that OSx won't really take advantage of $3000 hardware...that's why you either dual boot OSx and XP or you run OSx in VMWare inside of XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidT Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Right, I didnt think about booting to the OS X CD to delete the partition lol, thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
