crumpet Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I've got a partition which is 15GB (which I made with BC), but what do I do next? It won't mount or anything, and it's in MS Basic Format, which means I need to format it for OSX... How do I go about doing this?

munky Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Disk Utility. Erase it as HFS+. Boot Leopard and install. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/54863-installing-105-on-bootcamp-partition/#findComment-392404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soner Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Is there a way to do it without burning the Leopard DVD? I don't have DL burner...

Mark Snow Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Yes, you can install it without DVD. Restore the DMG on a partition (ipod, firewire HD, ...), then boot in this partition and install Leopard to your bootcamp partition. BTW, if you can't reformat your bootcamp partition, try running disk utility from the install disk (or restored partition). This is what I did.

Yep, I restored my install dvds to an external harddrive awhile ago, its really nice as it starts up a lot faster and i think it installs faster as it doesnt require any optical disks .

FuturDreamz Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 oh, almost forgot. you will need Corolis CDmaker to make a bootable disk for iPartition to be able to partition your boot disk.
