Operating System Not Found Error - HP DV9000

Hey guys,

 

I've actually had this problem for a while but I was ignoring the problem that I had.

 

I originally used 10.6.8 for a very long time and it worked fine but I needed to use an iB00t USB I built to boot into Snow Leopard because even after trying to install Chimera using MultiBea5t I would get the "Operating System Not Found" error.

 

I ignored this for all this time but now I'm looking to fix this as I installed 10.8.1 because now I only have Mac OS X on this HDD and nothing else. No other partitions or operating systems installed on the HDD I'm trying to boot from.

 

I have a HP DV9838ca. The HDD I'm using is a Toshiba MK2546GSX. I've already tried this fix but it didn't work.

 

 

Heres what I did to install Mountain Lion:

  • Bought the Mountain Lion app
  • Made the USB installer using UniBea5t - Mountain Lion (picked Laptop Support in the options)
  • Formatted my HDD using Disk Utility to a GUID Partition table and the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) filesystem.
  • Finished installing
  • Restarted, booted into the setup window using the Unibea5t USB.
  • Finished the basic Setup
  • Ran Multibea5t 5.0.2
  • The options I picked were, "[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Installation", "VoodooHDA 0.2.1", FakeSMC Plugin "Motherboard Plugins" "(Nvidia GeForce Plugin)", and "PS/2 Keyboard/Mice and Trackpads"
  • Rebooted and got the "Operating System Not Found" error again

I can boot into OS X just fine using the Unibea5t USB. Almost everything works on the laptop except the webcam and sleep.

 

Thanks for any help.
