Skitals Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Why not use a more recent install dvd? That image is about 2 years old. One thing you might want to try is unplugging your sata drive. Even though the correct partition is active, i believe the darwin bootloader will then try to boot disk0. Depending on what channel your sata is on, it could be causing problems. On my setup I have vista on disk 0 partition 1, and osx on disk 0 partition 2. I use the vista bootloader with chain0 to dual boot, so partition 1 is my active boot partition. Last night I used an installer DVD to install a driver, which set partition 2 to active. Even though I have a proper installation there, it gave me the same hfs+ error. I still don't really understand why, but my impression is that is tries booting off the first device/partition regardless, which in my case was disk 1 partition 0. Obviously in my case vista isn't an hfs partition, hence the error. I just set partition 1 back to active and everything worked again.
