Hmm, thank you for the factual reply. I really appreciate it. You should get like an award or something- best helper of the year. Anyone else?

I am definitely not using Apple's sucky one. It led me right to overwriting my HD last time. Does anyone know of any good tutorials to do this? Thanks

W00T computer completely back to normal. I used another thread for help, your help wasn't proficient Eric, no offense. I may post the steps I took in the How-to section for others who have a similar problem as I did.

Bump

I'm sorry. I was just frustrated because my hard drive was toast :P How will I reformat it?

Bump. Sorry in advance if I am posting too much, but I would like to fix this problem as soon as possible. Eric, would you suggest I 'Erase' the disk0s1 HD and rename it to Macintosh HD, and re-format it for Mac OS X (Journaled). Then, I insert the Leopard install disk after booting over and...

I have the same issue as kabbage except I have no need for the data rescue application because I have my time machine backups. Will this work for me also? Please see my thread at this location to confirm my problem is the same as kabbage's.

Exact same thing happened to me. Fortunately, I had a bootable backup. That guide is completely mis-leading. Someone needs to tell Apple that their guide is crap.

Here's a picture of the disk utility if it helps any.

Well, I suggest you do not even try to install Windows. I consider myself pretty good at macs, and I easily slipped into choosing the wrong HD to install Windows on and I got my whole computer overwritten with a non-functioning Windows. Added to that, I was not even given the option for the...

Maybe I can try something in Disk Utility? The Hard drive shows up there. I think it is not showing up in finder cause boot camp renamed it to disk0s1. I tried renaming it but no-go. Maybe I could use the restore tab? Thanks

Also, can I insert a Leopard installation disk instead of the Windows disk or will that cause problems since the Boot Camp agent already installed? It would be like trying to emulate mac on a mac hehe. Because I would be fine with a fresh install of Leopard since it is asking for a bootable...

More information in case it helps: When I do option on startup, it will only show the Lacie hard disk, but if I just shut down and turn back on, it will auto come up to a screen that says "The device can not be booted. Please insert a boot disk" Is it asking for the Windows boot disk? Also...

Okay. So, I restore my external HD to my regular one? I have nothing to lose if all that is lost is absolutely nothing considering the HD won't even show up. But, what if I proceed but have a dead disk? Will anything bad happen? BTW, last time I held down option during restart, it went...

You do not seem to understand. I am now booted in my Lacie Backup HD because now there is NO other hard disk. None in finder that shows up, when I hold option during restart this is the only one, my hard disk has dissapeared. Are you sure that solution will work? It says it will erase all...

Please help me, please, please, please. I was running Leopard and I was trying to install Boot Camp. I followed through using the guide, *edited* THE *edited* GUIDE, and the installation would always repeat itself when trying to format the drive. Eventually I couldn't take it anymore and help...

Hi, I am running Leopard and I have set up a network connection between my windows (which has the printer connected) and my mac for a shared printer. I can print to it fine, but the quality is messed because it is obviously using the wrong driver. So I searched the list of drivers included...

I have been using it for weeks now, and I have already run disk utility to little success.

Hi, I have recently updated to 10.5 (and now 10.5.1), and I noticed my finder running very slow. When opening folders, there will be about a 2 seconds wait until the contents are displayed. Is this a Leopard problem or is there some kind of utility I can run to fix this? Thanks.

Pretty straightforward.
