Tourbillion Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hello, Yesterday i've downloaded the OS 10.4.3 8F11111 Wesley pre-patched ISO, Checksummed the iso and I burned it on a DVD+R. I made a 14 GB FAT32 partition in Partition Magic 8.05 and set it to active. I reboot my pc. Put the DVD in it, and the Darwin loaded. The Mac OSX installation program started up, and i cleared the FAT32 partition to a Mac Extended Journaled (HFS+) partition (in diskpart id=af gives a unrecognizeble partition in Installator so i fixed it this way). I gave the installer the instruction to install to the 14GB HFS+ partition (disk0s2), which he recognized. The install worked completely, and if i ran the installation again, Installer saw there was only 8GB left, so that proves there ARE really files copied to the partition. After the Installation; afer i've filled in the personal Information, Mac booted properly, and i've worked with it 2 hours, everything worked like a champ. Then i rebooted it, and: If i try to mount disk0s2 now (the Macscratch disk), he instantly says; Missing Operation System. Not even the word Darwin. Here are the things i've tried; -Set the startup disk to disk0s2. -Press F8 with the DVD in it, type: rd=disk0s2 -x, put the DVD out and pressed enter. This is what happens; he gives 12 "device timeout" errors -Set the NTFS Windows partition to hide. My Partition Table: -25GB NTFS -14GB HFS+ --Extended-- -41GB NTFS My specs that matter: -Intel 315D Celeron 2.26 GHz -Intel 945G Chipset -512 MB Dane-Elec PC2100 Memory -Nvidia FX5200 Graphic Card -80GB Hitachi Deskstar ATA Are there any options left to boot my OSX partition proper? Thanks in Advance, -Sander Fekkes. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8595-native-install-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila225 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hi Tourbillion, First, what do you mean on this: ...in diskpart id=af gives a unrecognizeble partition in Installator so i fixed it this way ... Because, if you changed the partition id from af to another thing, that could be the problem. Another point that may be affecting is your disk size. You wrote that you got a 80Gb drive, but also that you have an extended partition on it, which size you didn't mention. The problem is that if your disk is too large, above 160Gb, that could be the problem, and then you can try to put your mac os partition as the first one. Hope it helps.

Tourbillion Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 If i made my 14GB AF partition in the "normal way" (with diskpart), Mac OSX Installer didn't recognized it as a writeable disk. When i made it with Partition Magic, and converted it to HFS+ in the Mac OSX Installer, it does show up, and Partition Magic sees it af a HFS+ partition. And my extended partition is 41GB, filled totally with a 41GB NTFS partition. But my HFS+ partition comes before the Extended partition, so that doesn't has anything to do with it, does it? Thanks for your help. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8595-native-install-working/#findComment-53387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
