No active partition sir

did your hdd have been initialized? after initialized into intel partition… i create a partition and see this image

“Active partition” is needed if you use an “intel partition map” (suitable for booting in BIOS mode). If you use GPT partition map, it isn’t needed, that’s more suitable for booting in UEFI mode, but in that case you need to manually install the bootloader (we need to automate this in the Installer, it has not been done yet).

In the case of UEFI: https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/uefi_booting/

Welcome to Haiku.

Once you have booted, you will want to install applications from Haikudepot. If you are having problems, take a look at this thread:
