Soündless Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 what would happen if i re formatted my hd as a guid, instead of a master boot record? i cant boot without the dvd anyway, so would this work?

Guest bikedude880 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 No, it's not possible. The BIOS of your computer locates the partitions using the MBR (correct me if I'm wrong here.)

Ben Eyre Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) if you change to a GUID partition, you will 1) Render the Hard Drive Useless, 2) the pc will freeze durin the BIOS POST (Power On Self Test), i know as i have done it, and its not recomended, then you have to disconnect the hdd, boot with G PARTED, live cd or simmiler, and use a USB HDD Houseing to reanimate the disk to MBR Ben Edited December 30, 2006 by Ben Eyre Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37182-hackintosh-guid-partition/#findComment-264872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
