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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/76617-flat-image-cant-boot/ 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/76617-flat-image-cant-boot/#findComment-540883 Share on other sites More sharing options...
