happycar Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Partitioning with MBR and formatting as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) seems to be the way to go! Make sure you hit the partition button before leaping out of Disk Utility to completely wipe any problems that might have existed on the drive (and any windows installs hehehe) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84498-install-complete-after-reboot-get-black-screen-with-_/#findComment-603860 Share on other sites More sharing options...
