Streety Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 When I try to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 everything goes brilliantly until it tells me to choose which disk to install it on. When this happens there isn't any disk to choose. If someone could help thaat would be great seeing as I'm kinda newbie . The drive had the FAT32 file system as well. I use an Acer Aspire 3610 laptop if that helps at all. Thanks If you need anymore information just ask. EDIT: Sorry if this has been mentioned like a million times before hehe Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73865-cant-select-a-disk/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streety Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 There is a problem with that, when I try it it says it will delete everything on my HD. I already have XP installed and don't want to delete + all My Documents.. Is there any other way?

rob356 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 the safest way I know of is to get a whole new harddrive, that is almost foolproof, there is about a 0.3% of lost data that way.
