This made my partition 2 merge with the last 8mb on extended, or unallocated partition. Step 4 - Format partition 2 -> Fat32 Primary (not active) Part 3 - unallocated 8mb (extended I think) This is because this time round, steps 1 and 2, and then I have People made reference to them as being normal, and they ARE, bup depending on bootloading, maybe it's just the other way round - you CANT have them. Never was able to simply get rid of them, or merge them.
Followed every singles step by step guide, wiki, etc. I've made them unallocated, hidden, fat16, 32, ntsf. Please mind I have been up 2 nights straight blown in caffeine! In partition magic, many times 2 small 8mb partitions are created in the beggining and end of drive, sometimes just one of the ends. There seems to be problems with OSx and extended drives. Here is where I got my problems, and I have no tecnical knowledge, so pardon me if I say something "wrong".

So, blanck drive, Xp install NTFS format WHOLE drive.Ģ - Partition drive (I did 50Gb/50Gb) for OSx, after XP How I got here? after 2 days with NO sleep, one assasined Hitachi drive due to so many reformats, partitioning and installs (about 17 tries, 2x7 times zero out) - yey for refunds! - New seagate 100 GB 72,000 rpm

SO now, at least, I managed to format extended journalled plus mount and install. My screen is shrinked to a small center bar on the screen, no mouse support! My first success is im my sig! But this install, on reboot to customize personal settings, before the 1000 hello's in all languages. I managed to install a new dowloaded Jas 10.4.8 and intel sse2 sse3 ppf1 ppf2. Found a possible answer! And pardon my lack of tecnicallity ! to partition before this boundary, the partition again the rest of the drive in 50% ntfs/fat32, and then append these to the under-1024-partition, thus creating two "virtual" partitions that can boot? Ps: Is it possible, maybe it was what I did by accident. I killed a ONE WEEK OLD HITACHI DRIVE !! I sent it back and got a brand new seagate 100GB I would love NOT to assasin. These last days I managed to format, partition, install xp, check errors, trying OS. I tried then, they are ugly, very little reliability. So the question is - does the OSx partition HAVE to be below the 1024 boundary WITHOUT using bootloaders like acronis etc. I used the darwin bootloader, tweaked to 30 sec timeout with the - everything was perfect !! Storage - 50 gb fat32 common storage place OSx -50gb fat32 (mac os extended journaled) i dont understand how upon first install I had

What is this boundary ?! How to go around it ? What size in MB is this boundary? Surely I did itīefore so I could do it again, I dont want a (for example) a 8 GB OS system !! I wrote in there to beware of the 1024 cylinder boundry (partition boundry to be bootable drive). But many were done, I even got all excited and wrote up this thread to help others with install problems !! (ebios, mounting, etc) The first time I tried (and got it right!!!), I must confess that I was so excited, so little sleeped and caffeine driven, that I cannot recall exactly what mistakes/corrections I made. OSx will not format to extended journaling. The problem Coolquaser is having is the same as mine. ITS BEEN 4 DAYS NOW !! Please please someone help! I´ll just wipe the whole thing, start fresh. Then I up the OSx trying to help wireless development (Jalavoui ROCKS! ) I was totally new at this, but managed to install a dual boot - check my sig !! Let me help out, asking for help at the same time.
