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:

i 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:

BTW, 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 :

Once solved this other problem, the USB_Part_Flip.exe should be able to easen the implementation of the partition entry exchanging.

maybe i solved with gParted live....i created all partitions with it (it supports also hfs+ partitions...), and i aligned them to cylinders...then i use dtitool on first two partitions...then i used winsetup, copy a movie in fat32 partition...divx reader works....grub works...OS setup works...all works.... ...if you say me that partition table is correct, the problem is solved...

Yep , the last screenshot is "perfect"

thanks god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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
