oostcoast Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hi, Im trying to make a dual boot of my system. (Core to Duo, 2.66gh, 1gig RAM, 250gig HDD) The problem is that whell I try to format (disk utility, boot DVD) my FAT32 partition (20 gigs) to HFS+ journaled, it seems to format, and then the partition turns unactive. The only way to make it active again is to format it back to FAT32. cause of that, I can't install OSX. my disk is partitioned as like this: C: 100 gigs, NTFS (storage) D: 50 gigs, NTFS, primary (Windows XP) E: 20 gigs, FAT32, primary (reserved for OSX) M: 50 gigs, NTFS, multimedia I have a external HDD, with a 100 gigs swap partition (FAT32) there's already a dualboot OS selector on the system (OS selector by Acronis) does anyone know what is causing this? I really want this to work -oostcoast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
