Grimes Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I attempted to dual boot Windows XP and OS X, and I resized my SATA 160 Gig HD so that I had 7 gigs of space. I used the 10.4.1 DVD and made the partition by doing this: Official OSx86 10.4.1 FAQ __________________________________________ DISKPART> create partition primary id=af DISKPART> list partition Partition ### Type Size Offset ------------- ---------------- ------- ------- Partition 1 Primary 148 GB 148 KB * Partition 2 Unknown 7 GB 7 GB DISKPART> exit __________________________________________ I finally loaded up the DVD install and got to the point where it asked which drive I'd like to install it on. However, there was no drives listed. Under the disk utility, it showed my two partitions. The only option it gave me was to re-partition the whole entire hard-drive which I of course don't want to do. Any suggestions?

Sutebenu Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Does it show a crosshair over the partition? If so, it's not formatted in AF format. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6855-dual-booting-problem-140/#findComment-42310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimes Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 No, it says the partition is "Mac OS (Journaled)", but there's no crosshair. I did use id=af when I was in DISKPART so I don't know why it wouldn't be AF. PartitionMagic says it is in AF format. Maybe I'm just missing something here? I'm using 10.4.1 DVD install by booting in DOS. I made a partition using DiskPart that's primary and is AF. What am I missing, exactly?

acidream Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Did you ever find a solution to the no partitions listed problem. I'm having the same issue. thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6855-dual-booting-problem-140/#findComment-61306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidream Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I figured it out myself. In case anyone else wants to know, you have to erase the partition in disk utility first.
