Is the partition you are trying to install osx on, Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?

I tryed to follow this guide to the letter

in it it says

 

Create at least 6GB of unallocated space:

 

- Press the windows logo in the bottom left corner of you screen (assuming that you're using Windows Vista)

- Right click 'computer' and select 'manage'

- Select 'Disk Management' in the 'Computer Management' screen.

- Select a partition with at least 6GB of free space

- Right click it and hit 'shrink volume", type in the amount of space to shrink (at least 6GB) and hit 'Shrink'.

- Close all open windows.

 

4. Hit WINDOWS BUTTON + R and type 'diskpart' (without quotes)

 

5. Type in (press enter after you typed in a line):

 

list disk

select disk [the number of your disk]

create partition primary id=af

list partition

select partition [the number of your new osx partition]

active (if this doesn't work, try 'set active' without quotes)

 

6. Insert the OSX install disk and reboot your computer, follow the installation steps on your screen. Read everything carefully and select the right packages!

 

Didnt work with that config, last thing i tryed was a partition formatted as a primary 10gb, EXT2. HSF+ is greyed out in gparted, never once used a mac or osx so im stuck.

OK, After you boot the install disk, select language.

Then open disk utility

Select your osx partition, erase it. ( make sure it says , Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

install and then Bob's your uncle

Let me know if you need any thing else, glad to help!

Appreciate your help, ive tried erasing with that ultitlity several times, it always fails any other tools i can use.

[danielbb]

Ok, tryed with gparted again, created raw partition, no error message on erase. Still got nothing in "select destination"

thiis is what its like after erase.

 

 

And in gparted it looks like this.
