[QUOTE="DavyC412, post: 784466, member: 81158"] i have an imac g5 with isight on it, and i finally managed to swap out its dead HDD for a new WD 160GB SATA drive. now it wont let me partition the HDD properly. i go to utilities, disk utilities, then try to partition it. it seems like it begins to partition it and the progress bar starts going at the bottom, until it gets maybe 25% across, then just suddenly completes. the new "partition" it creates has no available space, doenst have the name i specified, and wont verify because it has "an error" and will not repair because it has "an error" does anyone have any idea what is going on? note, i didnt partition the HDD before i installed it, which is why im trying to do it now.
