inimicus Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I am running XP/Ubuntu/OSx86. I haven't taken a look at your guide, but it appears you are in the process of setting up partitions for installation, correct? In which case, I would try using Ubuntu's LiveCD and opening GParted. This is a sort of "Disk Utility" through Linux. The benefit here is you can modify the (mostly) entire hard drive without running into "Disk in use!" errors. I'm not familiar with the error message you're getting, but I'd give the above a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Why? Most *nix stuff (if not all of it) is readily available for OS X as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
