jaclaz Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) tomorrow i will try it.....what 's the correct allocation unit size i must use on new tool?Maybe it's better if you use the GUI version, use 4096:http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htmi can create partitions with mac only if there aren't partitions......(probably cause mac os doesn't fully support mbr)I don't think so, it sounds "strange" to me. From what you say, it seems like your MacOSx (or the way you have set it or use it) uses GPT partitions ONLY. If this is the case, it's outside my area of knowledge/experience, but you will need some dedicated tool and possibly a hybrid setup, start from here:http://reboot.pro/11600/page__st__32BTW, this partitioning problem has slowly but steadily been diverted from Original Topic.I will move all related posts to a new thread, as to "unclog" this already very long thread, as soon as you acknowledge this.JFYI, while you were playing with your hard disk , someone has been working :http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=24392&st=10Once solved this other problem, the USB_Part_Flip.exe should be able to easen the implementation of the partition entry exchanging.jaclaz Edited June 24, 2011 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 So the moral is that the MacOSx partitioning/formatting software NEEDS "orthodox" partitioning, with partitions properly aligned to cylinder and head boundaries or simply that it doesn't work as it should? Anyway, the only meaningful thing is that we have yet another happy bunny in the basket jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
