ariethekid Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I was changing the Active partition to my Boot Volume because I had changed partitions a while back to restore a partition. After I rebooted the infamous HFS+ partition error came up. How do I repair the partition structure? They appear as HFS partitions when I use MacDrive6 and I can access the data just fine. How do I repair this fiasko? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44724-windows-drive-manager-screwed-up-my-install-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmkgd Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Maybe, just maybe, using a tool just to retag the partition type as 0xAF would do. For example Acronis Disk Director can do that. Can't guarantee anything. Wait for further responses/suggestions from others.

ariethekid Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 How do I do that? Oh and Acronis doesn't support HFS+ file systems. I used test disk to see what was up with the partition tag and it is 0xAF already. Which is really wierd because why OS X would be seeing it as an NTFS partition makes no sense to me.

cbmkgd Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Well, ADD doesn't support most resizing/internal hfs+ editing, but it can move this kind of partition, etc. And it can edit its partition type. But if you say you've already verified that it was still 0xAF type, then my suggestion won't help.

moseschrist Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 download this: http://ubcd.sourceforge.net/ burn it, boot it. on boot you will get some options, you move through the menus with the F# keys. press F2,F1,F2 this will launch a partition manager tool. select your hard drive, when select partition type, it will give you options, select other, write AF, save and close, quit the partition manager, and thats about it. now, the part of the partition manager i gave you from memory, so i'm sorry if not accurate, but these are the general steps, do it and it would work.
