nanoblade Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I've installed the deadmoo image on a Sony laptop as i have done before many times on my other laptop, and upon booting i got a "HFS+ Partition error", so i booted the darwin cd and used fdisk to rewrite the MBR, now i'm getting a b0 error upon booting. I've put in a dos boot cd and used fdisk, but it can't see any of my partitions? I've also tried to use fdisk in darwin to fix the problem, but don't know what to do. Please could someone help, this is my main computer and although i backed up my data, all my installed programmes have been lost!!!! Any help appreciated Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5964-please-please-please-help-b0-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Gil Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) Can you tell us the disk structure that DOS fdisk is showing you?, maybe you just don't have the windows partition active and that's why you can see anything... If you have access to a linux distro, try using this version of fdisk since it can read more types of partitions Edited December 19, 2005 by Victor Gil Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5964-please-please-please-help-b0-error/#findComment-37577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanoblade Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Dos Fdisk shows me nothing, it says there is no partition information. I've just booted up into Ubuntu live to see what i can see, and no luck! I loaded up GParted and it reports my entire partition as Unallocated! I don't see how my partition table could have been screwed by just dd'ing an image to a partition!? Anyway, if anyone now has any advice on how i could possibly repair my partition table, or any other way to get my windows installation working again, i would be happy to hear it.

Dragon! Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hey i am having the same problem, i dont know the answer, but i do know how you can fix your partition. there are a few ways. You can download, partition magic 8, on torrents or buy it. www.torrentspy.com or you could load up you osx dvd install go to utilities then disk utility and format the partition into ms dos mode (fat32) and your computer will recognize it. then you can find it in fdisk and change the partition to ntfs. hope this helps. oh if you already have windows installed you, need to get partion magic and set the harddrive that has the os install as active. when you installed the mac osx it changed the active partition to the hfs. so you need to change it back in order to save your data. if you have anymore questions ill can still help at erichuckleberry@gmail.com Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5964-please-please-please-help-b0-error/#findComment-37597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanoblade Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Thanks for the reply, but if the partition manager in Unbuntu didn't recognise the hard disk, then i don't think i'm gonna have any luck with Partition Magic. I'm currently trying the Hiren Boot CD but am running into errors with that too. Looks like i may have to give up on recovering windows.
