HFS+ Driving me crazy...

[AntonLaVey]

Hello.. I've been trying to install Leopard on my pc for the last few days but i cant make it boot right... So far what i've been doing is:

-Boot from DVD (Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI)

-On the install part, formatted the only hard drive to Mac format..

-In customize, i selected some drivers (nvidia, nforce, AC97, Lan and others), deleted languages and checked the bootloader box..

-After that, the installations goes fine.. restart..

But here comes the trouble.. i can't make it boot because of the famous "HFS+ partition error".. i read a lot of info about that, but all the solutions are the same (fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0, flag 1 (checked with the print thing), update, write, quit reboot).. i tried that before the installation part and on the install part too..

please help =(

my hardware:

-Asus M2N-E SLi

-AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 3600+

-2GB RAM (2x1024 Dual Channel)

-NVidia 8600 GT

-10GB Maxtor (used for test )

 

Thanks a lot.. great forum btw ^^

 

EDIT:

 

I followed this tutorial too.. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=75295 but still won't work.. i got stuck on the /usr/misc/script.sh part, no such directory o something like that...

 

Same HFS+ partition error thing

 

Thanks again ^^

Hello

 

i had the same problem. In install unchecked everything accept bootloader. I got HFS+ error every time. Now i tried only MBR bootloader without GUID and it works.
