Can not format secondaly pertition (FAT32) to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"

sevenstars_okawari · August 13, 2007

Now my PC have two partitions both which have been created by Windows.

(I would like to boot both Windows and Mac. That's why I installed Windows first of all.)

1...NTFS (installed Windows XP)

2...FAT 32 <---for Mac OSX

I have a problem.

Boot by instaolation DVD (uphuck_10.4.9_v1.4a), and run "Disk Utility" .

Then I can see two pertition inside of Volume.

1...Utitled <---NTFS)

2...Utitled <---FAT32

And I select the pertition "Untitled (FAT32)" which is gray out,and select "Erase", and change "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" from Volume Format.

And select "Erase".

==after finish a format completely.==

And I select the pertition again

But nothing is changed , it's staying as "Fat 32" still. And the pertition is gray out still.

Please advise me what did I make a mistake.
