ryanf Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I have been trying to install Mac OS 10.4.6 HOTiSO for some time now. The trick is that I am trying to triple boot with OS comming after XP and Ubuntu. There is no data on the 100gb drive so I have tried many different things. It seems my steps to installing all three OS's are correct only when I use the disk utility to format the HFS+ partition I get the following error: "Volume erase failed with the following error : Cannot read the partition map. " I have tried several things to solve this problem but to no avail. I thought maybe the partition was not active so I used diskpart under windows to set it to active. I tried fdisk under the Mac OS terminal but could not find where the error lies. I am trying to partition from FAT32 to HFS+ with the Disk Utility. Thanks for you help, Ryan Fe'rran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanf Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 I set up the partitions with GParted, should I have used anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
