thestevo Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hey there, I don't know if you've already figured it out, but I thought I would reply in case you haven't. This is not an issue that is particular to your hardware setup, it is an issue with the formatting of the drive. I would recommend that if you have the option you should download JaS 10.4.8 with PPF1 and then apply my PPF (check the wiki) so that you have full functionality for your board. However, if this is not an option, I believe that you'll need to format your whole partition as FAT32 then erase it as HFS+ in you disk utility. These errors can be quite tricky, some never quite get worked out. Hope ya got it, Stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
