Arkidas Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I've tried both iAtkos 1.0i and ir2 following this guide: http://inihilist.wordpress.com/2008/01/07/...and-fool-proof/ I've always tried to use EFI ( vanilla kernel ) is that a problem for my hardware? I have Gigabyte DQ6 X38 Motherboard, Ultra 8800 Graphic card and Q6600 processor and a 150gb raptor HDD. I always get HFS+ Partition Error after installing.

koonimo Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi this is normal when u update vista or may be xp.....cos windows tries to define a different partition table to ur drive n thereby given u the error..............but thanks to some big brains in this forum there is the solution....... do this n reply if it helps......... suppose after installing of ur IATKOS u get this HFS+ error then boot into the iATKOS DVD into single user mode..................(-s at Darwin prompt) then type these commands..... fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (suppose disk0 is ur disk identity.......which has ur Leopard installation) flag x (where x is ur OS X partition number) update write quit and finally reboot hopefully ur machine will boot normally if it reoccrus........ then try this to fix it fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (where again '0' is ur disk identity....) flag X (where X is ur partition identity for OS X) setpid X (again X should be ur partition identity) AF ( i think it is the hex identity for partition HFS+ or so.....just type it n hit return) quit and finally reboot only type the command which i hv bolding.... all the best..

Arkidas Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'll try this right now and update this reply shortly. I know it's not EFI since I tried X86 Bootloader. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkidas Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Update: I tried. When I go into -s mode and type "fdisk -e /dev/rdisk 0" without quotes, nothing happens at all and of course none of the other commands work either. If I wasn't clear, I want to emphasize that I installed VISTA first just like the guide points out. Then I created a partition in VISTA according to the guide and installed iAtkos on it after using Disk utility to erase. ( I also did the Darwin commands when I was trying the 1.0i version but it'd not needed in 1.0ir2 ). Help anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koonimo Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 hehe dont worry i guess u put a space between the rdisk and the disk number(fdisk -e /dev/rdisk 0).......pls try not to make mistakes when u type commands.......n be sure u know the disk identify number....... u should type it like i showed fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 without space inbetwen the rdisk and 0........ all the best Update: I tried.

wglass Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Ok I did this now I can get into OS X but what about the NTFS/Vista. When I select that I get the HFS+ Error. I also used the same guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
