edridh Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 This is with a 10.5.1 Kalyway install on a DS3 motherboard with AHCI enabled. My problem is that any attempts to erase and reformat either empty space or an hfs created compatible partition give me the following error. "Volume Erase Failed Volume Erase failed with the error: MediaKit reports checksum operation failure." Has this been experienced by anybody else? It isn't a DVD error, I've checked it numerous times, reburnt it at various speeds and used both DVD-R and DVD+R media. Thanks in advance, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelgalligan Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 HI all I have the fix to your problem when you run your software in windows to create the new partition for mac os x, you must first resize your C drive partition and then create your new partition for mac in the unallocated space, ( you would imagine the software does this but no it seems) a simple but very annoying problem, i've had it for a week. All works fine after this, go ahead now and install mac on your new partition Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
