andytof47 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hi there, just trying to get my new hdd to boot into Leopard... I mount the image oafter making a 60gb partition on my 2nd hdd and then reboot into that drive but nothing happens...... what's wrong here? when I do it from windows the 16gb image works without a hitch but It creates a 16gb partition which I don't want........ because my latest working install has the issue of not merging the two partitions on the drive.. all help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper X Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 You need to make sure the partition is active. Did you format GUID or MBR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
