CSSlash Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Okay, I'm using the Tubgirl 10.4.8 DVD patched with the 10.4.9 ppf. When I load everything up, and go into Disk Utility, my HardDrive shows up just fine, but the thing is; OS X can't write anything to the disk. I tried making a Primary active HFS+ partition in XP, but when I tried to install on that, the installer just sat at "Running Mac OS X installer script". Then I tried repartitioning my HardDrive in Disk Utility, but it just froze up and did nothing. I tried clicking the "Mount" button on the partition I want to install OS X to, but that didn't work. also, when booting up, the boot loader gives me errors about being unable to mount my partitions. My Specs: Seagate 150gb SATA nvidia Nforce 4 702 MB Ram AMD Athlon 3800+ I would also like to know, if I bought an External HD, would I be able to partition it and install OS X on it, with all my other Specs working?

hecker Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Why do you even try partitioning your drive with Win-Garbage?? Do it with the Install DVD and it should work. hecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSSlash Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Ok, so I tried Erasing my whole HD in Disk Utility, didn't do anything. Tried erasing the volume then HD in Terminal, nothing. I have no idea what's wrong and why it won't format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
