Partition problem

Recommended Posts

Finally I installed in same external HD Ubuntu and Leopard.

 

I followed this steps:

 

I made 6 partitions from ToH Leopard install disk with utility disk (Guid Partition Table):

 

Partition 1: 8Gb Fat32

Partition 2: 8Gb Fat32

Partition 3: 2Gb Fat32

Partition 4: 40Gb Hfs+    ->Name Leopard

Partition 5: 25Gb Hfs+    ->Name TimeMachine

Partition 6: 76Gb Fat32   ->IOMEGA_HDD

 

Then, with Ubuntu 7.10 I formated partition 1 to 3:

 

Partition 1: 8Gb Fat32    ->unmount  ->Ext3  Mountpoint: /

Partition 2: 8Gb Fat32    ->unmount   ->Ext3 Mountpoint: /home

Partition 3: 2Gb Fat32    ->unmount   ->Swap

 

I installed Ubuntu in partition1 and grub in /dev/sdb

 

-->I edited menu.lst (in order to can boot from external HD)

 

 

Then, I installed Leopard and put boot_v8 in /boot inside ubuntu

 

-->I edit menu.lst again

 

Everything works greate but my only problem is that I cant see the Partition 6 (IOMEGA_HDD) in Vista (dev/sda)

 

Can someone help me.

I fix it!!!

 

I just changed the table:

 

(External HD)

 

Partition 1: 16Gb Ext3 Mountpoint: /

Partition 2: 3Gb Swap

Partition 3: 76Gb Fat32 ->IOMEGA_HDD

Partition 4: 40Gb Hfs+ ->Name Leopard

Partition 5: 25Gb Hfs+ ->Name TimeMachine

 

I dont know why but if you put a Fat32 partition before and after a hfs+ partition vista only can read the first Fat32 partition.

 

Now I have triple boot: vista (Internal HD), Ubuntu and Leopard in an external HD.....and a Fat32 partition that can be read for all of 3 os.
