Hi please help me. I have Lenovo B560 laptop. I'm trying to install snow leopard 10.6.3 retail DVD. I use latest I boot & [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. Everything went good. However when I install mutlibeast, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and system util, reboot and I get

boot:gpt,Boot:error Boot:test

I had try different bootloader and still no use. I try fdsik -e /dev/disk0 then f 2 then write then exit and reboot. None seem to work. I can only boot from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD.

Boot your Lenova B560 using [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] boot cd and install Snow Leo 10.6.3 MBR PATCHED DVD or other OSX86 install dvd s , everything goes well. You can get it work via [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] CD. AFTER Chameleon or Chiemera or other bootloader not run and Lenova reboots continously <h1 style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:1.5pt;margin-left: 25.1pt">We will use another method using Chameleon-2.0-RC4-r684-bin and cheat </h1> Code: open terminal

 

/* grant yourself a superuser access for this session */

$sudo -s (to gran)

cd /folder_where_you_have_your_bootloader_unpacked/

/* now find out what is the system location for the drive and partition you installed OSX to */

df or diskutil list /

/* let's assume it's /dev/disk1s2 */

/* install boot0 to the MBR */

fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk1

/* install boot1h to the partition's bootsector */

dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk1s2

/* Install boot to the partition's root directory */

cp boot /

 

 

Dont reboot it wont boot or it will reboot

 

<h1 style="margin-bottom:1.5pt">Lets convert [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] CD image to Windows-Compatible ISO Disc Images on Mac OS X to see the hidden folders inside boot cd (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-create...es-in-mac-os-x/)</h1> Insert the disc into the CD/DVD drive and launch Disk Utility, Click image Now that we have the source of the disc image selected, click on File->New->Disk Image from “insert name of source” Next, make sure that DVD/CD Master is selected as the Image Format — that ensures the contents of the disk are completely copied into a resultant .cdr image Click on Save and the disc image creation process will begin, indicated by a progress window. Depending on how large the disc is, the amount of time that’s necessary varies. When the cloning process is complete, check the Desktop and the .cdr image should be there. You can use this image on Macs, it works perfectly. However, to share it with Windows computers, we first need to convert it into a recognizable format. To do this, the help of Terminal is required.

 

Launch Terminal either by Spotlighting for it or directly double-clicking on the app in ~/Applications/Utilities/ and type in:

 

cd desktop

 

then, enter this line of code to transform the .cdr to an ISO file:

 

Below important

 

hdiutil makehybrid -iso -joliet -o iboothyb.iso [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url].cdr

 

 

double click iboothyb.iso now you will see Extra and usr folders and iBoot_2.5.5_tonymacx86.com.txt

 

enter the Extra folder or cd Extra

 

copy com.apple.Boot.plist , Preboot.dmg and Themes TO SnowLeopard Extra folder

 

Reboot

 

Everything must be Ok. If you press a key when booting you must see Snowleopard partition, Win7 Partition, Pardus partition and QNX partition J
