[QUOTE="dogtide, post: 1020564, member: 136916"] there seems to be a bug of some sort that i am reading about that was the same as the problem i faced. I had successfully partitioned my mac drive to have 145GB as mac and set aside 15GB for the windows partition. A few days later i went to install windows and after a few mins of install when it showed me the options of where i could install it, there was only 1 choice and it was about 130GB in size. At this point, fearing that it would overwrite my MAC i aborted the install and since then I have not been able to get back into anything. I do not believe I installed anything or wrote over the MAC partition as I exited before I chose a partition to put it onto. In the last few days I have found the application TESTDISK which seems like it might be my only saviour but now the problem is that when i try to run it thru Terminal off a thumb drive after booting up with SNOW LEOPARD install discs and it says that I cannot run it without Rosetta software too. That shouldn't be the case I don't think as TESTDISK by all accounts should run on INtel based MACs. Either way though, I am now stuck trying to figure out how to get Rosetta onto that thumb drive as well. Any help at all at this dire stage would be more than appreciated. Cheers in advance. [/QUOTE]
