Hi guys!
Long time viewer, finally decided to register
My MBP had been running 10.4 on an upgraded HD (320gb, WD). For the past 2 weeks, 10.6 has been running off an external HD (160gb, WD) because I cannot install Snow on the internal HD.
I run the installer DVD from startup (holding C key), and when it asks where to install the OS, it does not list the internal HD, but only the optical drive and external HD (if connected). Disk Utility from Installer also reflects this.
The internal HD appears 'active' (in finder, disk utility) once the OS has booted from the external HD.
I have tried numerous suggestions such as:
Waiting
Re-formatted internal HD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Partitioned into 2 volumes (100gb & 220gb), map scheme ''GUILD Partition Table''
Any more ideas and suggestions are welcomed.. please feel free to ask more q's as I may have left something out.
Cheers!
