Alessandro17 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 You have been told to use GParted LiveCD if you install iATKOS . I suggest Parted Magic instead. It is a lot better at configuring X and it has more tools: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=partedmagic (This will save you some extra frustration, especially if you are new to Linux) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77617-iatkos-and-gparted-livecd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
00diabolic Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 interesting. I used knoppix 5.1 which comes with QTparted. I guess there all based on almost the same thing. However I had some major issues with Gparted as it kept flacking out on me. Can you resize a hfs+ partition on a GUID partition scheme with parted magic? I'll have to try this on QTparted in knoppix. I hope it will do it so I dont have to use drive Genius. Gparted I know wont do that. Drive genius does but I dont like it to much.

ic3b0x Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Can you explain me exactly why you need to use GParted with iATKOS? Cause I'm tying to install it... And it's not working... thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77617-iatkos-and-gparted-livecd/#findComment-549254 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not working... thanks the uphuck teams script does not set the partition active when it installs darwin bootloader. So you need to go in after the install and set active the partition and it will work. I used knoppix live CD 5.1 to do this as gparted sucks. From the knoppix live CD go to system and look for QTparted and open that and find your drive and right click on the partiton you installed on and go down to set active and then apply the changes. Then reboot and leopard should load. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77617-iatkos-and-gparted-livecd/#findComment-549263 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can resize an empty hfs+ partition (I believe), but I don't think you can safely resize one with data or, worse, OS X on it.

00diabolic Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Yeah I got parted magic and it wont resize a GUID hfs+ partition either. So I guess Drive Genius is the only option.
