MACGRO Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I was trying to upgrade my Hackitosh to the latest update of Leopard (10.5.3) but I was unsuccessful. So, when my "hacky" got "canned" I tough I will just boot from my "Kaly" install DVD and restore the system with Time Machine... Well it worked, it did restore the system, but now I have to use the Kalyway DVD to boot my computer. I've try may ways to make the HDD bootable. 1. I make sure that the partition was set active by: fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 It shows the partition to be active. 2. I reloaded the system with "kaly's DVD" and the system boot it up. 3. Proceeded to reload with Time machine and I got the same problem. just a "blinking" curser, like it's waiting for a boot loader or something... When I do a Ctrl-Alt-Del, put the DVD back and the system boots up to the last restore from Time machine. 4. Lastly, I try to make the HDD bootable by the following command: 1. I opened a terminal window and log as "Super User" and entered the following command: # bless -verbose --folder "/Volume/rdisk0/System/Library/CoreServices" --bootinfo No luck. Does anybody have any suggestions? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/108355-hdd-fails-to-boot-after-restoring-from-time-machine/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACGRO Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 I used kaly 10.5.1 DVD to start the Time Machine's Restore. My systems is fully functional but I won't boot on it's own... The DVD has to be in the drive in order to boot up.

RFMan Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Did you find a way to solve this? I'm having the same problem right now. I botched the upgrade to 10.5.3, so I restored from a Time Machine update. Restore went OK, bu the computed became unresponsive at the Restore Completed screen. I forced a reboot, and now I can't boot from the HDD after the restore from Time Machine. I'd rather not have to reinstall everything on the machine, but if I have to, I might take the opportuinity to upgrade the hardware Anyways, good thing I keep all my data and info on the MacBook also. thanks in advance!
