Dippyskoodlez Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 All partition is primary and the partition type of drive E is "AF" You have to have it as an HFS+ partition to install mac os. Is it? from my experience installing os x on my mac, just using the "erase" tool and making it a single partition with HFS+ allowed me to install and recognize it. the partition tool was useless..

homeless Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 The problem has solved. by moving the position of drive E instread the position of Drive D with any Patition manager.
