toohinc Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hey guys. I had Lion installed for 2 years on a HP laptop, now I download Mountain Lion and installed on same partition, computer rebooted and and it shuts down when the partitions show. I realise now I did not do the right way. So, is there a good guide I can use to reinstall Lion and then Mountain Lion the right way? I don´t have the knowledge to fix my boot problem, so probably its best to just start from scratch. Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm impressed that you had Lion installed for 2 years, don't know how you did it, but bravo! Anyway see tutorials section for ML guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toohinc Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Dunno for sure if I have it for 2 years, I installed it when it was released, maybe i´m mistaken. anyway, installed Lion now full working, and found a guide to install ML from a pen drive, getting kernel panic witch normally is not a problem in this laptop.

toohinc Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 sorry for the delay on replying. I gave up on the laptop because it is a core 2 duo, and in some apps was very slow. Installed Lion on desktop with i3 processor, now I have a fast OS, used iAtkos L2 and all hardware is fully working Now, again same reboot problem when trying to install ML. I created a boot USB flash drive with ªunibeast, after I restart I boot from the flash drive and after a few lines in verbose mode it reboots. I´ve posted the problem on tonymacx86 but got no help so far. Any help? Specs are in signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxic Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Just make a usb installer manually, it's easy, you don't need some piece of {censored}-ware to do it for you! I´ve posted the problem on tonymacx86 but got no help so far. Most of the people on there can barely scratch their own arse so I'm not surprised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toohinc Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 I done that today, followed the guide exactly but same thing happens when I boot from the USB flash drive. It just reboots. EDIT: I went to buy another 8GB USB drive today in case the problem was the flash drive, but same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxic Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Look for the speedstep patch by bcc9. I had a similar issue on a HP Probook 4530s. If in doubt have a look on my website, there's a post about the probook and there should be a link to the patch. jameslittler.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
