docmac Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 For osx it should be: >>> Mac os Extended (Journaled) Hope you get it to work. post back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliab Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 It depends if you want or not multi system boot, on separated parttitions or disks. For OSX on a fresh and alone disk simply use disk utility with mac os journaled extended For multiboot XP or Vista + OSX it's a little tricky but all was told about in the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
