Oh sorry, I have a Maxtor 200 GB SATA drive. Pehaps that will be the
issue. yeah, I don't like partition magic one bit...i used a linux one
with yellow dog, pretty common but I cant remember the name; anyway,
it was super easy.
It's funny because I have also had a dualboot on mac before and
setting that up with mac software was amazingly easy.
Anyhoo, please let me know if you need any other info and thanks for the help.
Yeah there's a couple of things. First, not that I personally care, but
top posting is considered bad form on most lists. Second the tool you
used on YellowDog was probably QtParted. I have found that the System
Rescue CD (www.sysresccd.org) includes QtParted and I've used that
almost exclusively for the last 3 years or so for changing partitions to
dual- or triple-boot my systems. Download that and try running the
install without ANY linux partitions in the free space and it should work.
