teknojunkie Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Try Making your drive active First use the Installation Disk and go into Disk Utilty and Find out your drive number and partition number by right clicking on the drive and click "information" fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX "enter" replace X with your drive number update "enter" f X "enter" replace X with your Partition number w "enter" q "enter" Reboot or you can try this fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX (enter) replace x with drive number flag -2 (enter) update (enter) write (enter) quit (enter) Just half a Little patience and stuff will come to you www.teknojunkie.com Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85825-please-help-so-close-hfs-partion-error/#findComment-613488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyb Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I struggled with this issue for months in Tiger. I think what you're looking for is here: http://www.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/index.php/t30322.html Boot from the DVD or another drive, run the dd= procedure and the startupfiletool procedure. You should be able to find a download link to startupfiletool in the Genius Bar. Good luck. Hoping the gurus will find me, the next time I "plead for mercy."
