Hey all, this post is a final attempt to get things working before i seriously bust a nut or something similar. All advice and help will be greatly appreciated!!
Alright so i am new to the whole apple side of things, the only true reason i have purchased a mac is so i can run Logic, the bees knees in audio production - which atm is failing me!
Purchased my mac about a month ago, (so it came with leopard) while i was waiting for Logic Studio to arrive i used bootcamp to install xp on a partion, purely for gaming purposes. I then recieved Logic and it doesn't run at all on leopard. I searched numerous other sites and came to the conclusion that i need to install Tiger if i want to run Logic.
I now have Tiger 10.4.8 with the complete update to take it 10.4.11 but i cannot install it. I tried using bootcamp to create another partion but it said it was going to delete the windows partion, which i didnt want so i ditched that effort. I then did some research and found out that it needed to be deleted and it should be erased using disk utility
I followed the instructions, with no success. The "windows" partion is still there, and theres still a little information on it. (12 folders and like 50mb's that the erase option seemed to skip)
So...
Can anybody please give me some pointers in the right direction? I just spent over $6000 getting my mini studio up, really need it to be running aswell!!
What can i do to get things cranking? I have leopard 10.5.2, Tiger 10.4.8 with the 10.4.11 update, Logic Studio and Windows XP and would love it if they all played nicely together. It dosent bother me if i have to ditch Leopard for the mean time until updates come out, all i need is for logic to work and for me to be able to switch to windows on the occasion.
Sorry for the mega post and if i have posted this in the wrong thread
Cheers in advance, Ali
