It is allowed to scan Desktop and Mac-Systemfolder. Can that be a problem for the bootstrap? if your bootstrap partition is not type Apple_Bootstrap then macos will always destroy it. you *MUST* use mac-fdisk to create the bootstrap partition. apple's tool won't do it right. run: mac-fdisk -l /dev/hda if your bootstrap partition has type "Apple_HFS" you need to delete it and recreate it so the type is Apple_Bootstrap, then MacOS will no longer destroy it. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
