"Still waiting for root device" (I am a super newbie)

[aaronson]

Hello, Im going to go ahead and get this out of the way: I am a BIG noob with this Mac OS X on a PC stuff so bear with me lol

 

Anyway,

 

This is what i know so far:

 

1) I am using iATKOS v1.0i r2

2) I get an error when I go in with the -v flag that says "Still waiting for root device" (Not the slightest Idea what that means)

 

PC specs:

 

AMD Athon 64 X2 Dual Core Processer 4400+ 2.30 GHz

2046 MB of RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT

 

I have looked this up on google and I see some answers, But none that I can understand

 

Even if you didn't supply an answer thank you very much for your time

Still waiting for root device simply means that the system cannot see the HDD. It's not your fault that you don't understand what it means; really, it's one of the best user-unfriendly misleading messages I've ever seen. You'd better ask people with your motherboard, HDD, and DVD specs. (It's always a good idea to have this specs in your signature.) Without them, no one can help ya. Good luck.
