giofrida Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 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.

HUSABER Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 its wrong- 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 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
