Hi... I am new here :)
Ok here is the story. I got a Power Mac G4 with MorphOS installed. It worked perfectly.
I wanted to have both OS X and MorphOS, so i found a PDF with instructions to make a dual boot system. I followed the instructions.
I partitioned 3 partitions. One for Boot, 60MB, One for MorphOS, 2GB and the other for OS X. I then installed OS X.
OS X fine.
I booted MorphOS cd and went to install.
I have been following the step by step instructions perfectly so far.
Anyway once i got to the storage part of the MorphOS installation and i clicked on the 60MB partition (called boot) i got this error:
"Invalid partition Layout!" and some stuff about the sector range.
I have no idea what to do.
As an alternative, i installed another HD, but every time i went to install MorphOS it would freeze just before the part where one would press install.
So i put in the Morphos HD as the Primary HD (Master) and Morphos installed and ran correctly.
But then i put it back to SLAVE. Switched on and held ALT for boot menu.
Selected the MorphOS drive and got stuck on the grey screen. Frozen.
I really want MorphOS and Mac OS X but its really giving me grieve.
Any help would be appriated .
Thanks
