nimb0z Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I'm already running windows XP on C: and D and E are my Logical Drivers. I created a partition for Mac after C. [C - 35GB] [x - 25GB] [D - 45GB] [E - 45GB] I managed to install OSX 10.4.8 (jas) on disk02 the 25b partition, but it won't boot. The same dreaded 'HFS Partition Error" if I set the osx partition as active. And if xp (c:) partition is active, I do see the Mac OS X86 in OS menu (using chain0) but it doesn't work, just gets me back to the OS menu. Currently: 1. I can't use my OSX installing for the 'HFS Partition error" 2. and my E Drive (with lots of imp data) is missing. Any help greatly appreciated. Many Thanks.

macgirl Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Mac OS X doesn't like Logical/Extended Partitions. If yours is try to convert it to Primary. Also some 10.4.8 installation DVDs has a non-working Disk Utility, try to format your partition with a 10.4.7 one.

Markandeya Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I know the long way. Let me try do remember the short way. Go to start -> control panel -> administrative tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management lets say take a screen shot and post it here so we can see what you really done. long way is easier for me, boot with live linux cd and in the terminal write fdisk -l and post them here. Other think os x doesn't boot you said. Can you post any error message. When you get the boot menu try starting with -v and lets see what is wrong.
