JackoliciousLegs Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I installed 10.4.3 all patched up and ready to go on my p4 2.4 sse2 machine. It's on it's own HD. I unplugged the other windows hard drive entirely. Alright, so I boot up to the installation and get one option of where to install it, my 120GB drive... but it's grayed out. I go to the disk manager and format it as a journaled drive. Great, install OSX... all goes cleanly. Then I start up and get that "HFS+ Partition Error".. I tried reinstalling but didn't work. What's the next step? Ok, I just ran the startup disk utility from the DVD, selected the drive with OSX on it, and it froze. Just thought more info would help.

I also had that error and after installing some software it dissapeared.

JackoliciousLegs Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) What software? Acronis Disk Director? I'm not dual booting. Again, I haven't been able to boot into OSX at all... and when I boot to OSX, my XP drive isn't hooked up at all.

Still you can try to install the OS selector on the XP drive to test if there's anything wrong with the hd...

JackoliciousLegs Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 There's nothing wrong with the HD. Any other suggestions? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7115-hfs-partition-error-i-searched/#findComment-44897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhurd22 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 This isn't a permanent fix, but if you boot with the install DVD, and just don't hit any keys while the kernel loader says "press any key to install mac os", it should proceed with booting into the newly installed os.
