MBR partition table (instead of GPT) on Intel Mac okay for SD?
I'm using Mac OS X 10.4 on Intel hardware. The machine has an MBR partition table instead of the default partition table type, GPT, so that I can more easily run other operating systems on it.
I am able to successfully clone to another partition, but Superduper fails when it attempts to mark the other partition ("volume") as bootable. Is Superduper compatible with MBR partition tables? Last edited by pmocek; 12-29-2006 at 07:38 PM. Reason: clarify title |

We don't really care what the partition scheme is, but OSX might. I'd need to see the error to attempt any kind of diagnosis, though.

why need entire log?
Hmm... It's pretty long and I'd have to read the whole thing to make sure there's no personal information in there before I go posting it on the Interwebs. Is there some particular part (besides that which shows the error and associated codes, which I have already posted) that you need to see in order to diagnose?

Feel free to send it to me at the support address. But I do need the whole thing.

Quite weird. So, you're updating a 10.4.8 volume with a 10.4.6 install... something weird clearly happened. Can you try an erase-then-copy rather than a Smart Update to see if that works?
