Hi all,

After playing with "hackintosh" -I only formatted "c" drive to "mac-journal"in order to try it and I swear the rest of the hard drive space was left untouched(ntfs)-, I decided to go back to "windows", but even the drive-c is back to "ntfs", my laptop would not recognize it, which means there is NO way I could install any OS.

can anyone help me with it, I really don't want to end up sweeping entire hard drive.

Thanks

If you're using XP, click the start button and select Run. Type in: compmgmt.msc Then, select Disk Management when the Computer Management window opens. Right click on your Disk and/or partition to see if you can fix it.

Well, frankly, I'm not running any OS at the moment because I can't install any of them due to having NO hard disk(?).

I've run "gparted live cd" to make sure my disk is formatted properly, but it says hard disk is not mounted, I could format it though.

Thanks.

Select the unmounted C drive and create a partition on it, sounds like your C drive may be 'unallocated' which you should see in Gparted - you need to select the unallocated space and add a partition to it (formatted to ntfs)
