zeroforhire Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Ok... I just found out about the bad blood between this community and tonyosx86... I didn't really know much about this community, or I would have started my hackintosh journey here. Here is my issue... (First timer) Ok. I got everything right until I used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. I had it working to boot off the USB, then ran [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]... Now I get to the apple loading screen and after about 30 seconds my monitor turns off. Computer stays on. Now I can't even get into my windows install which is on a different hard drive. Please help! Is there a safe mode I can boot into?i have a gigabyte z68ma-d2h-b3 motherboard.when I try to boot into windows it says error...boot mgr missingi took out my zotac GeForce 9500gt video card and got a little further into the boot process... Now I have a panic error message. (CPU 2 caller .... No hpets available. CPU configured incorrectly...update...i restarted the computer. Now I can log in then see the desktop. For about 20 seconds. Then everything freezes. Should I try to run [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] again? ______ Is there any way I can start over without [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]?

Rogiervd Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 The reason for the black screen with the 9500GT is that you need to put an EFI string in the org.chameleon.boot.plist. You can make your own string with this tool: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/124911-osx86tools-final-release-is-here/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroforhire Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 good to know. I ended up taking the graphics card out so I could get to the desktop. It still freezes after 20 seconds. Is there any way I can start over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogiervd Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Are you stuck at a grey screen with cursor or the spinning ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroforhire Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Most of the time I can get to my desktop, then about 15 seconds in, it freezes. I don't have an apple keyboard, so I cannot enter s or v mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogiervd Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Every USB keyboard should work. Are you using PS2? Try booting USBBusFix=Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroforhire Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 I am using a logitech Wii keyboard. How do I boot into USBBusFix=Yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogiervd Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 On chameleon screen type: UsbBusFix=Yes if works put in org.chameleon.boot.plist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroforhire Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 I was able to input the USB fix line... hit enter... then the gray apple screen appeared... the twirling clock went for awhile then froze... then let me log in. Logged in, then 20 seconds later it froze again. I restarted computer and entered the "org.chameleon.boot.plist" and the computer said it could not find it... press any key to continue. is the tonyosx program Chameleon?

Rogiervd Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 don't you have a windows install or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroforhire Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 somehow this messed up my windows install as well. I cannot even run the repair disc and boot from cd rom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogiervd Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 in bios set the windows HDD as first then you can boot into windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroforhire Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 I unplugged the hard drive that has the Mac OS on it. I still cannot get back into windows. When I try to boot from my windows 7 DVD it still doesn't work. It goes through a black screen with a lot of white writing. At the end it says pxe-mof: exiting pxe rom. Disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press enter.So I do that and it repeats itself.Is there a way to wipe a hard drive from the bios so I can do a clean install of windows 7 again? I saw this on another website. I did switch from IDE to AHSI when I did my Mac install. "AHCI: Short for Advanced Host Controller Interface, AHCI takes better advantage of SATA drives by enabling hot swapping and NCQ, but there's a caveat. If you've already installed Windows, suddenly switching from IDE mode to AHCI will quickly muck things up. On the other hand, it's a good way to see what a BSOD looks like if you've never seen one before. Otherwise, be prepared to start fresh with a new Windows installation."
