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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53860-os-x-unable-to-write-to-my-harddrive/#findComment-384672 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.
