error occurred installing snow leopard mac os x

I've been trying to do this dual boot for two days now, without much sleep in between the days. I'm trying 2 & 3 now, but each install of Snow Leopard takes about 1.5 hours (no matter how long OSX says it will take!). Is there something else I should or should not be doing? I've been installing the Snow Leopard 10.6.1 update right after Snow Leopard is fully installed. Should I have installed Snow Leopard without creating that FAT32 partition and instead have let XP create an NTFS partition in the free space during XP installation rather than letting XP format the FAT32 partition (created during the initial GUID partitioning when I installed Snow Leopard) to NTFS.Ĥ. Should I have installed Snow Leopard without creating that partition (just allocate free space) and then have created the FAT32 partition after Snow Leopard was booting on its own?ģ. I created a 100GB FAT32 partition during the initial disk partitioning during the installation of Snow Leopard. The install formats the FAT32 to NTFS, copies over the files then hangs every time with an “an unmountable boot volume error.ġ. I install XP to a second partition (100GB NTFS) using the XP CD that came with the Mini10V. The system boots to Snow Leopard, without the Snow Leopard DVD USB stick plugged in, just fine. I install Snow Leopard on a 100MB partition on a GUID partitioned 250GB drive and run NetbookInstaller 0.8.3 RC3 (It’s GUID because Snow Leopard won’t let you install to an MBR partitioned drive, but I'd b happy to install to an MBR partitioned drive if there was a way).

I boot the Mini10V from a Snow Leopard DVD USB stick that was made with the retail Snow Leopard DVD and made bootable using NetBookBootMaker. Unmountable_Boot_Volume error when installing XP after Snow Leopard
