foodfightr Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I backed up my fully working leopard installation using carbon copy. I messed up my system attempting to install 10.5.3 and attempted to restore using Carbon Copy. It says the restore was succesful and I see all the OS X files on the drive, but when I attempt to boot nothing happens at all. It doesnt appear to be detecting any sort of OS on the disk or doing anything...

Gujal Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Carbon copy does not backup or restore the Darwin Bootloader. Search the forum on the procedure to install the Darwin boot loader and it should work fine (as you have already restored the data) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/108394-restore-from-carbon-copy-not-booting/#findComment-768806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 use pc_efi_v80 to prep your HD then CCCloner but unmark the "Erase Harddrive" OR try pc_efi_v80 afterwards!

chuckplumber Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I had this trouble too. I have a working 10.5.3 on one SATA disk and wanted to try GUID on the other. Formatted as guid, cloned and then did the above install for Darwin. Do I need to install Darwin and then clone, without erasing disk? Darwin can not be post installed as it is actually on a diff partition and thus can not be installed after??
