I have 30GB still unallocated space on my hard disk. But unfortunately when i try to erase the space for hfs+ journeled it gives an error specifying tht it cannot erase the disk after a very long time say about 20 min. Pls help me out. Thanks, Amey.

lag0matic Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 You need to provide some more info! What motherboard? What processor? What kind of hard drive? It sounds like you're running a SATA hard drive, and a Nforce chipset... which, I had the same problem with. Finally I had to use a IDE hard drive for OSX, and the SATA drive for vista.
