gwon Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 After installing onto my disks third partition I'm having problems booting. (/dev/hda3 or (0,2)) I followed this guide: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...le_And_Accurate After installing grub (wingrub) when I try to boot I get "HFS+ Partition Error" Any ideas where I went wrong?

daenney Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I get even a more distruving error using Linux The setup is like this: 80gb HDD partitioned in hda1 windwos ntfs 15gb hda5 windows ntfs 37gb hda6 mac os x 10.2gb hda7 linux ReiserFS 10.2gb hda8 linux swap 1gb The entries in grubs men.lst are correct, I can perfectly boot Ubuntu 5.04 and Windows XP Pro but when I select to boot Mac OS X Grub says: Error Error loading booter and thats it. Now I was wondering, does OS X have to be installed on a primary or a logical partition and do I need to set the bootflag to OSX or can I just leave it with Windows XP?

eightballx Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I have come accross all of these probs, both solved by using cfdisk (Gentoo minimal live CD) to change the type of the partition to AF and then re-dd and try again. Thats how i got mine... it works great... so fast! The second one is that GRUB isnt installed properly make sure you have put GRUB in C:\BOOT and run grubinstall.exe and that the menu.lst is in the directory and not corrupt HTH -=eightballx=- Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/316-hfs-partition-error/#findComment-2309 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this has someting to do with logical partitions. I had initially tried this with a 40 GB primary partition, and I could boot in. Rather than waste 33 GB, I decided to repartition into a 7 GB and a 33 GB partition (both logical) and retried. This time, I am getting errors. And, fdisk (I never got around to using cfdisk) shows partition type to be 'af'.

Dippsy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I had this exact same problem for some time before figuring it out. It seems to refuse to boot when installed on a logical partition so I used Acronis Disc Director to convert the partition to primary, rebooted and voila! it worked Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/316-hfs-partition-error/#findComment-2436 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is safe to say that logical partitions will *not* work Cheers Ace Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/316-hfs-partition-error/#findComment-3878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
