Wisam Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hi, I installed before Jas 1.4.6 on AMD 3200+ / NVIDIA NFORCE 4 motherboard. Today I got my Pentium D 2.8Ghz SSE3 with ASrock conroe945G-DVI and I tried to install Jas 1.4.8 DVD twice and after each install it deletes the partition table of my hdd. I connected my HDD 120GB ATA on the same cable with my Sony DVD-burner driver. my Hard driver setup was like this (Smae I used for 1.4.6 that was working) 1. 15GB Fat32 Windows partition (primary) 2. 40GB Journal File system Mac OS X (Primary also) 3. 25 GB NTFS Logical for games and torrents 4. 35GB Fat32 logical for Music. I installed windows then when I restarted my computer I inserted Hiren's boot tools and used Smart FDisk to make the 2nd primary partition as my active partition. then I rebooted and inserted Jas 1.4.8 to install Mac OS. I selected Semthex kernel with 900 GMA driver. Check installation disk (I burned it using 4x speed) then installing and after that restarting. When It tried to boot I got Boot error and some numbers. I used Smart FDISK again and then all my HDD partitions are GONE !!! (I backed up my data so it was not a big issue). Can some one tell me where I went wrong ? Please, I need your help EDIT: Is there some option in the BIOS to enable/disable to cause such problems ?

CyBrian Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 same thing happened to me. i almost lost 175 gigs of data! luckily my other drive was the one with windows on it so i used acronis to recover the partitions. still, it shouldn't do that. anyway, i tried installing again and it didn't delete anything, but this time osx won't boot. it just gives me "chain booting error" so anyway i guess the image is corrupt or something.

Wisam Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 Ok. I think I found other associated problems. In fact, I went and used partition commander this time and It found that there is 58GB corrupter image (I think the extended partition had problems) I went and deleted everything and repartitioned this time with it. So I installed Windows again and went to install 1.4.8 and when I tried to format MacOS FAT32 partition to make it Mac OS extended (Journalized) the system hangs while I got this: new_hfs: /dev/rdisk0s2: No such file or directory So I ended up restarting manually and all partitions were deleted again. I will install Windows and then I will try 1.4.6 and report to you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32126-148-jas-dvd-intel-sse3-corrupting-hdd-partition-table/#findComment-225272 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisam Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 After reading the posts about 1.4.8 release it seems that I got the corrupted ISO release. Many people are already talking about this issue. I will redownload the ISO again and try.
