crikfromcincy Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Ok, so I set my main hdd, (disk 0) with 3 partitions... Vista on main, xp on second, and a third that is unallocated. I planned on installing kalyway's leopard 10.5.1 on that partition.... but when I get into diskutility, it only sees the disks, not the partitions. If I go on to "continue installation", all of my drives (other internal and external) have a red exclamation mark on them, and say that leopard can't be installed. Is what I'm trying to do here even possible? I have set up EasyBCD to have the added option for Leopard before installing leopard, and I've tried activating the partition to see if it makes a difference, but it doesn't. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help that is offered.

crikfromcincy Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Is it really that important? I wouldn't think the specs of my mb, hdds, and vid card would have any bearance on the question I asked.... but then again, what do I know? 2.40 gigahertz Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 64 kilobyte primary memory cache 4096 kilobyte secondary memory cache Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC.

rl1024 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 i think you need to format the unallocated space to hfs+ (or possibly fat32) otherwise i don't know Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83917-leo-wont-install-on-any-of-the-partitions-i-have-on-computer/#findComment-596003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
David86 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 i just installed it on a berkly, and it works great, set you sata controller to ahci and when installing using iatkos 1.0 rc2 select sata component it will give you a ich9 driver oh and make sure you set the drive active and bootable. Oh and dont forget to select efi boot loader.
