ilostmyunicorn Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'm getting this same error.. But thing is, I don't even have a Mac partition! I managed to successfully install Leopard a few hours ago, but a kernel panic screwed everything up for me so I ended up reformatting my whole HD. I installed XP to see if this would work but TransMac isn't showing a Mac partition. I tried PartitionMagic and theres no Mac partition either.. But looking at the partition size for XP, I'm pretty sure my Mac partition is hiding somewhere.. !! help please x_x edit: Uhm, okay this makes no sense at all lol. I left my computer alone for a bit (went to go watch TV) and I came back to find it still stuck on the "NTFS drive 2.0 [flag:r/o]" thing. So I was about to reboot it but I tried tapping the Enter button a few times and my DVD drive started to magically read the DVD again! o.O So now I'm in the installation part.. w00t! edit2: k.. The installation didn't go too smoothly. Was super slowwwwwwwwwwww. I'm not sure why. Once I saw calculated time remaining was 9 hours, I rebooted. :< So, here I am stuck again trying to boot the KalyWay installation disc again. ... w00t!! It booted!! Now hopefully it won't go slow this time.. edit3: failed failed failed !! More specifically, the installtion process failed. Went back to try and format the HD but told me it was unable to unmount. (Note: This time I tried doing the GUID partition table way, as opposed to MBR). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jskandhari_ULV_User Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 it will only show the mac partition if u are opening it as a administrator in vista right click and click on run as administrator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igorkb1 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I have been fighting with my config for last couple of weeks. This solution of deleting /System/Library/Extensions/Ge and NV*, solved my problem with the reboot message. It really works on Kalyway distro.
