skatingrocker17 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I have installed Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1 Kalyway edition on a my second hard drive, whenever I try to boot from it, I always get the HFS+ Partition error. I've searched on the internet for a solution but none of them have worked so far, I've tried booting from the installation disk with F8 then -s and using the terminal to try to fix the problem but so far nothing has worked. Does anyone have a solution to my problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelforlove Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 You use Hirent Boot CD's . Choose MBR seeting and rebiult MBR . After that yoy choose magicboot and choose your operating system you want is the main . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkear5 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Have you tried this? Boot your DVD into -s mode. When everything has finished, type the following. A new line indicates a new command. fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag 1 update write quit reboot 0 is your hard drive number. 1 is your OS X partition number. Change these values accordingly.

raff Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 try Nkear's solution. If it doesn't work, your might have to reinstall but on MBR this time. Or else on GUID but have to be on GUID Disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a solution to my problem? Booting with grub like a Linux kernel instead of chainbooting like Windows fixed this for me. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry606752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raff Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Yeah, that is a good solution for this problem, but reinstalling seems here quite the start, but once installed on MBR, installing grub on disk root, helps you boot in any partition. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jizzle Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I've tried everything, even installing on my primary hard drive which also didn't work, does anyone have any other solutions? nkear5's sulotion should do the job, i encountered this issue also, and i used the -s mode (like nkear described above), but i use grub anyway, give it a try it would work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
