martin_s Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Okay, OS X is now installed via VMWare but when I click "Reboot" I get: MBR Error 3 MBR Error 1 Press any key to boot from floppy... Acronis OS Selector does not detect OS X. Any ideas?

martin_s Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Okay, now I've installed another Bootmanager. When I select OS X partition there I get: "HFS+ Partition error" And that's it. Strange, isn't it?

martin_s Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Okay, now I tried to repair the MBR with fdisk. In VMWare I'm getting b0 error now and with the boot manager still HFS+ partition error. Acronis shows the partition with a red cross It's getting weirder and weirder - Any ideas?

semthex Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 How is about chceckign the type of your partition? I guess it's set incorrect.

martin_s Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Thanks, but how do I do that? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35316-completely-installed-with-vmware-but-doesnt-start-mbr-error/#findComment-250997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Try this to fix both errors: In OSX, go to Terminal and type: sudo fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0 sudo fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 Then finish up that last command with what you find in here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=22844 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35316-completely-installed-with-vmware-but-doesnt-start-mbr-error/#findComment-250998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealRedShark Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 hmm.. did u create a FAT32 partition and changed it to HFS+ at the vmware-osx-installation? I did that on my osx installation and got partition errors too. It works if u start directly from the dvd and create the HFS+ partition but i think if u want to install nativly over vmware you have some boot-problems with the dvd right? So u will need to find another way to create directly a HFS+ partition =P Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35316-completely-installed-with-vmware-but-doesnt-start-mbr-error/#findComment-251019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_s Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Thanks, Rammjet - I'll try that. RealRedShark: Can't create partition directly with OS X installer without VMWare because booting from DVD doesn't work...

martin_s Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Okay, now I've set the partition active and now I'm getting HFS+ partition error in VMWare, too. Ohhhh no. What shall I try now?
