joske Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hi, I'm using this guide to install os X next to my installations of Win XP and Ubuntu, which are already in place. Founding out some troubles when making a new partition. I resized an NTFS partition from 60 gig to 53 gig, and created thus 7 gigs of free space. Now the guide says I must create a partition with diskpart like "create partition primary id=af". But then I get the "Can not create partition" error... Then the guide says delete the partition first, then try again. But if I want to delete the partition, I get the "The selected partition may be neccessary to the operation of your computer, and may not be deleted." error. Then we are were we started, so I see no light in the dark... Who can help me please? Another thing: Partitie ### Type Grootte Offset ------------- ---------------- ------- ------ Partitie 1 OEM 3004 MB 32 KB Partitie 2 Primary 20 GB 3004 MB Partitie 3 Extended 52 GB 22 GB Partitie 4 Logical 52 GB 22 GB Partitie 5 Logical 541 MB 74 GB Partitie 6 Unknown 12 GB 75 GB Can I, after creating the right partition dd the image to partition 6 or must I move it first?

DrJägermeister Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 anyone? You should have a primary partition (you can have 3 and one extented) for OSX86 and it should be located before the extented (in witch are only located the logical partitions) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8345-partitioning-problems/#findComment-52083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJägermeister Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 thanks! so i must move the 7 gigs, to before the extended. Maybe it's not possible without loosing data: delete the extented and logicals (backup your data before), create a primary and once it done recreate you extented and logicals like before.
