OS X doesn't regard partitions as drive letters... c: d: e: etc... in essence it uses the same thing only it treats them as Volumes (except for the root partition, all volumes are placed in the /Volumes/ folder). When you install to a hard drive with multiple partitions created by windows, you need to make sure they aren't the extended partitions because OS X can't install to sub-partitions of Windows ones. Go back in to Windows and rework the partitioning for the drive... ensure this isn't the case, then boot back in to your Leo4All installation DVD and select the partition from the disc (make sure it is named something original for you to recognize it) and select the tab on top titled "Erase". select the "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" format and rename (if you choose to)... then erase it and install to this partition... after that you'll need to set up your bootloader to select the OS you want to use as a default... I'm assuming you'll be using the MBR partitioning scheme because thats what windows installs to, so you'll need to open Terminal from your Install DVD right after you've installed (don't let any OS boot up yet but the DVD). in Terminal you are going to need to do the following (please note that you will need to change the X and Y values to fit your system):
Code:
diskutil list --> take note of the /dev/diskXsY that want to boot
fdisk -e /dev/diskX
f Y
w -->(answer "y" to any question it may give you right after this)
q
reboot
now it should boot into the selected partition "Y" of your choice. |
