Mac fails to read my hard drive while i am trying to install it on PC ?????

by simrannarula . Updated 15 years, 2 months ago

Guys,

I am PC user and trying to dual boot Mac 10.4 with Windows XP. There are 3 partitions on my drive:
c: – 50 GIGS NTFS (Windows Partition)
d: – 150 GIGS NTFS (Here resides my Data)
f: – 50 GIGS NTFS (Created this partition for installing MAC, since it was not reading the ‘Unallocated’ disk space)

but, when I boot using the Mac disc… and go to the Disk Utility… it reads the disk something like this…

+—————————————————–+
128 GB Drive (Total disk space it reads)
Untitled 50 GIGS (refers to c:)
Data 78.XX (refers to d:)
+—————————————————-+

This is incorrect reading as
– My total Hard drive is 320 GIGS
– D: (Data), this 150 GIGS, but for some reasons it is only read as a 78 GIGS partition
– F: 50 GIGS (Partition I created for installing MAC). this is never read
– and the unallocated is also not read by mac os x

could anyone please help me installing mac on my pc?
