ilko_t Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 @majinzinWhen you finish repartitioning etc. and still get that error message correct the following files with the proper partition number:1) winsetup.lst2) txtsetup.sif in the small ISO file in WINSETUP folder, section SetupData3) setup.cmd in \WINSETUP\XPpSP3\I386 , search for the line containing partition1or simply redo the USB disk.

majinzin Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) With a setup like the one proposed, the grub4dos MBR will be able to only access/read the 6 GB partition (located BELOW the 48 bit LBA limit BUT second entry in the Partition Table) and since the " the "usb divx reader" seemingly works with the 200 Gb partition, no matter where it is located, as long as it is first partition in the Partition Table, you should be fine and dandy.thank you for technical reply,my question is: i must format third partition with HFS+ wiht mac os....if i recreate all partitions correctly and then i format the third with mac, could i destroy partition table as before?? if yes, i think thare're no chances....@ ilko_t thank you, i will try...but in winsetup.lst file i dosn't find an entry to change...color black/cyan yellow/cyantimeout 10default /windefaulttitle Back to Main Menuconfigfile /menu.lsttitle First part of Windows XP Professional SP3 setup from partition 1map --unmap=0:0xffmap --unhookls /WINSETUP/XPpSP3.ISO || find --set-root --ignore-cd /WINSETUP/XPpSP3.ISOmap /WINSETUP/XPpSP3.ISO (0xff) || map --mem /WINSETUP/XPpSP3.ISO (0xff)savedefault 2checkrange 0x00,0x01 read 0x8280 && configfile /BOOTWS/fd.lstcheckrange 8 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/8.lstcheckrange 7 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/7.lstcheckrange 6 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/6.lstcheckrange 5 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/5.lstcheckrange 4 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/4.lstcheckrange 3 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/3.lstcheckrange 2 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/2.lstcheckrange 1 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/1.lstbootmap --unmap=0:0xffmap --unhooktitle Second part of 2000/XP/2003 setup / Boot first internal hard diskcheckrange 8 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/8.lstcheckrange 7 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/7.lstcheckrange 6 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/6.lstcheckrange 5 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/5.lstcheckrange 4 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/4.lstcheckrange 3 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/3.lstcheckrange 2 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/2.lstcheckrange 1 calc *0x475 & 0xFF && configfile /BOOTWS/1.lstboot Edited June 22, 2011 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 thank you for technical reply,my question is: i must format third partition with HFS+ wiht mac os....if i recreate all partitions correctly and then i format the third with mac, could i destroy partition table as before?? if yes, i think thare're no chances....Why don't you simply try doing it?Quick selection guide :if it works, no problem if it doesn't work, we will find a way to fix it. I have NO idea whether MacOSx respects cylinder/heads boundary "old" standard or just like Vista :ph34r:/7 allows for fractional end heads/cylinders. In the worst case you can re-partition creating the two first partitions (the NTFS and the FAT32 one) on boundaries.Life is " trying things to see if they work".jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majinzin Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 1)Use ONLY Windows 7 Disk Management. done2)Delete EACH and ALL partitions. done3)Create a new partition, around 6 GB in size, partition it as NTFS, make it ACTIVE. done4)Create a new partition, around 200 Gb in size done5)Exit Disk Management. done6)Use either of the mentioned FAT32 formatting apps to format the 200 Gb partition (drive). fat32formatter doesn't work on partition but only on not allocated space...i created partition with Windows 7 Disk Management and then i format with fat32formatter7)Verify that you can write and read files on both partitions. done8)Use the partition tool to EXCHANGE the data in first two lines. done9)Reboot and check that you can still write and read on both partitions. done10)Copy a movie or whatever to the FAT32 partition and test if "usb divx reader" works with the disk. done, i can watch movie.....NOW?

jaclaz Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 i opened dtidata : first and second partition ok, third and fourth 254 63 1023.....i think that the problem is windows tool and not only mac utility disk....That's actually good/correct.First partition (second partition entry) is ENTIRELY inside the CHS limit of around 8 Gb. If it still reads 0/32/33-740/41/5 is OK (with the mentioned caveat of alignment to boundaries)Second partition (first partition entry) BEGINS below the said limit BUT ENDS after it (1023/254/63) If it still reads 740/41/6-1023/254/63 is OK (with the mentioned caveat of alignment to boundaries)Third and fourth partition are ENTIRELY OUTSIDE the limit, so they have rightfully BOTH begin and end set to 1023/254/63The screenshot you posted on post #1417 showed how ALL the partitions (including the first two) were set to 1023/254/63, which is/was WRONG.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majinzin Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) That's actually good/correct.ok, i formatted third ntfs partition with mac....no problem....but when opened dtidata...all partitions were 254 63 1023....i tried modify entries in first and second partition with tool: 0/32/33-740/41/5 ecc... but when i restarted os, mac partition disappeared...i opened windows disk management and third partition didn't have file system (unallocated space)....

Well, NO.What you report makes no sense.You probably (please read as definitely) did a mistake in inputting the values. (or maybe th etool is not working as expected)Try again, create the 6Gb and the FAT32 partition.DO NOT exchange their entries.Create the MacOSx partition.Report what happens.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Maybe there is some incompatibility, but cannot really say which .Do another thing.Create the 6Gb and the 200 Gb in Windows disk Management.DO NOT format them.Create the third partition in Windows disk Management.DO NOT format it.Format the third partition with MacOs. <-this is the step that seemingly messes the previous two partitions data, though I am not familiar with MAC, it sounds to me "queer" that you cannot create a partition in it or that it messes the partition tableDelete first and second partition with Disk Management.Re-create the first partition 6 Gb and format it in disk management as NTFS.Re-create the second partition in Disk Management and DO NOT format it.At this point first, second and third partition shoudl have the "right" addresses/data as seen in the DTIdata tool.Leave the Tokiwa FAT32formatter alone and use INSTEAD the Ridgecrop FAT32format for the second partition:http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htmjaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
