[Solved] Gray screen after installing Chameleon

Recommended Posts

Hi, I need some help with a problem that occurred me three times.

This is what happened in the last time:

I wanted to create an USB Installer for a my friend that wants to install Mountain Lion (10.8.3). I partitioned the USB stick with MBR in two partitions:

the first - NTFS (with Tuxera) for data

the second - Mac OS Journaled (Extended) for OS X

 

So I copied the content of the dmg like always I do.

 

This is the part made the problem:

 

I installed Chameleon (r2172) on the usb stick and when the installer said "Finishing...", it was stuck and I couldn't do anything: all had stuck! The dock, the menu bar, everything!

Then I rebooted the PC.

 

Now whenever I boot to OS X I see a gray screen with the cursor (I can move it!) but the login screen doesn't appear anymore.

The only way I found to solve this problem is to re-install everything again but I don't want to do it.

 

Please help me, thanks

 

SOLVED: Reinstall OS X.

You need to partition USB stik only one partition for installer(MBR-,Mac OS Journaled (Extended)for OS X.

And later copy data(Folder)anywhere inside USB stik :thumbsup_anim:

Yes, I recognized the problem but I want to know how to boot again to OS X and avoid the gray screen. Thank you for the answer anyway.
