Big Pizzle Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi all, I have tried to install 10.4.10, 10.4.11, and 10.5.1 without success. When I first started trying to install any of these versions, I was able to see my disk inside Disk Utility. Now, for some odd reason, when I boot into the Mac installer now, it says the entire disk is unpartitioned. I know this to be untrue because I'm dual booting XP and Ubuntu and am typing this post using the Ubuntu partition. I'm currently using Grub for the bootloader. My partitions are set up accordingly: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 6419 51560586 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 9291 9788 4000185 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda3 9789 12161 19061122+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 6420 9290 23061307+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda4 is the Mac partition. I was under the impression I needed to make that. Any idea as to why I can't see the partition scheme anymore? I'm trying this install on a laptop, which is why using a second hard drive isn't really an option, unless I want to swap hard drives. Thanks for the help in advance.

captainLoknar Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hopefully a driver issue. Which install DVDs did you try (exaclty, the releaser)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geshadow Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi Big Puzzle, Upon starting the OSX install DVD, have you been able to see the HDD using terminal? Such as : diskutil list Then using: fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX <- 'X' being the drive number which has the partitions Then to get the partition table: p Did the partition table look similar to the output from Ubuntu?
