stephantje Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Ok so I am following profit 42's dual boot guide (vista/osx86) I shrinked my 500gig disk, and made it shrink 60000, After that I wanted to go to the next step: list disk select disk [the number of your disk] create partition primary id=af This is where it goes wrong though, it says I have unsifficient space, and what not. I was wondering what I am doing wrong here, cause when I type list disk, it shows it has 59gig free space. list partition select partition [the number of your new osx partition] active (if this doesn't work, try 'set active' without quotes) Haven't seen anyone else with the same problem, I'm probably doing something wrong, but I have no idea what it is. Here is a screencapture of what I did: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57604-primary-idaf-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramm Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Try doing create partition primary id=af size=59000 and see if anything changes. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57604-primary-idaf-problem/#findComment-411486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephantje Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Sadly it isn't working, nor is lowering it to 50000. It seems like such a simple procedure, yet I managed to screw it up?

Guest Ramm Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 No, you appear to be doing everything right. Run a chkdsk on your disk. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57604-primary-idaf-problem/#findComment-411508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephantje Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Did that, it did gave me a warning about my dvd drive, but I guess that can't be a problem right?

Guest Ramm Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Are you sure that the supposed free space is labeled as "free space" (and not unknown, untitled, etc)?

stephantje Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Yes positive (see my screenshot in my first post), but could it be that the partition that I need to shrink is the c drive instead of the E drive like I did?
