Tiger Compatibility
Running Tiger - I carried out silentaccord's tip today on my Maxtor OneTouch 300Gb External drive - 2 HFS+ Partitions and 1 FAT32. They work fine as drives, I can read and write to FAT32 from windows and mac, read and write to my HFS+ partitions from the macs, but when I tried to install Tiger on one of the mac partitions the install program said neither were bootable. Back to the drawing board?

Is your drive USB or FireWire? OS X won't boot from USB drives so the installer won't let you install to one.

I am using it in firewire mode I'm afraid. It has both USB and Firewire connections but I always use it with firewire on the Macs. It's not really a big issue for me personally, the one occasion I couldn't boot my powerbook I simply booted it off my other mac! I just thought you'd appreciate the information. There's a chance I did something wrong, but I followed the instructions by the letter and triple-checked the results!

I think I was able to reproduce the problem. It seems that when there are two HFS+ partitions and the MBR has been created, the OS X installer only recognizes the first one as a bootable partition. It's nothing new in Tiger--just something I failed to notice earlier. I'm still not sure why greigd had this problem with both HFS+ partitions. |
