Sclice Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I can install Kallyway's 10.4.10 on my external hard drive but I can not install on my laptop hard drive. I says that the drive is read only. Does this make sense? I have a HP tx1218ca AMD Turion 64 dual core Nvida chipset 5200rpm sata drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westwaerts Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 i suppose thats because it is NTFS formatted and OSX can read, but not write to it and further on not boot from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Turfboer Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I thought the default for external drives was FAT32, but still it can be formatted with NTFS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sclice Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well what I did do was I installed Kalyways Leopard to my external drive and used Acronis partition prog to copy the exact partition to my laptop HD. I am getting the i/o error on the HD while booting and it seems that the HD is read only for OSX. My question is should I just reformat my entire laptop HD and install fresh into OSX? BTW any partion that I tried to install OSX to on my laptop HD was in either FAT32 or OSswap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
