vador Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I have my hard drive jumper set to master and is on channel 0. The dvd-rom jumper is on slave and is on channel 1. My hard drive has been partitioned with partition magic 8.0 It has WinXP on the first 50 gigs, I have made a second partition with the remainder of my 160 gig drive called OSX86, it is a primary FAT32. I am able to boot the generic installer and get to select a destination.. where there is nothing. Any help is GREATLY apreciated!!!

avioli Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 you have to run the disk utility from the tools menu and create your hfs+ partition i have pretty much the same problem - have 1 partition 30gb, and one 2gb for transfer info from ntfs to hfs+, the third partition is 10gb and NOW is set to FAT32... I go to disk utility, choose erase, choose the right partition, click erase... mounting... preparing partition... NOTHING happens. Not even volume name change!!! I tried to go on with the installation process, but nothing is found there! Anyone?

pc_guru Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Partitions for OSX86 must to be done using Diskpart program, included inside Win XP. Beside this partition must to be primary and active (if you wish boot from there), but the most important thing, this must to be AF type (id=af). Read this guide click here!, in order to know how to do it.

Read this guide click here!, in order to know how to do it. I've been experiencing the same problem, except on an IBM Thinkpad T40, IDE HD. I've tried partitioning the disk using Diskpart, id=af, etc. The drive simply doesn't show up in the Disk Utility or the Destination screen. I'm at a loss and nothing I've found on the forum has worked. -Psy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4455-hard-drive-does-not-show-up-when-time-to-choose-destination/#findComment-28872 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This's very important, a lot of people have been getting fails installing, because his/her HD is bad jumpered (bad for to install osx86, but not for Windows or Linux).
