I also had this error. the OSX installer wouldn't mount the partition I had prepared for OSX. when I tried verifying the partition twice this is what happened. Verifying volume "disk0s3" ** /dev/disk0s3 Invalid Bs_jmpBoot in boot block : 000000 Verifying volume "disk0s3" Verify volume failed : Unrecognized File System This is my 1st time trying to install OSX on my windows XP com I hav 1 drive 3partitions C:,D:,E: C: windows XPp 38GB primary ntfs D: storage logical ntfs E: leo part primary FAT32 (LBA)------is the LGA part the prob?

Software Updater Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Windows cannot boot off of a GUID drive, at least I dont think it can. Try booting from your windows CD and go to the repair console and type fixmbr. BTW: This MIGHT mess up your leopard install. I will not be help liable. Back everything up.

saicrazyfire Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Sorry for bumping an old thread but I've had this problem for a while. I can't install mac on my second partion because I keep getting this error. I partioned it as a primary and almost all kinds of filesystem. It won't let me partition to macosx journaled. It works when the partition is logical but I get a invalid grub error (error 17 I believe). I read that mac can only be partitioned on a primary partition. Can anyone help me please?

Traggr Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 10.5.2 on first part and vista on 2nd on a guid drive, in leopard i try to mount the vista drive it says invalid bs_jmpboot any ideas? Hey hi.. I had this similar prob & was able to fix it. The reason y ur gettin it is probably coz there is an extended /logical partition before the OSx partition in the partition map/sequence. Hence the Disc Utilty refuses to format the OSX partition as HFS+ Journaled. So my advice is to use partitioning tool Gparted & delete that extended partition(take a backup 1st incase u have data on it). Then create that unalloc space that results as a primary & use that as the new partition to boot OSX.Mark it as bootable & FAt32 partition type. The Disc utilty of OSX shud then be able to format it well to HFS+ for OSX install..
