can't boot anymore ?

[bobbby]

 

I had install the 0SX 10.4.5 on a new drive on my Dell Inspiron 6000 Laptop

 

It was working great !!!! OSX works, use safari, play mp3, watch DVD play Chess, Download mozilllllllllla & run it (problem with gmail using safari ...)

 

But i used to boot using a 10.4.3 installation DVD ....

 

I do not find the solution to boot directely from the harddrive (B0 error occur)

 

And I am not able to boot using the DVD anymore ... ONLY LIGH BLUE SCREEN

 

where i can download a boot to be able to boot direcly on the hard drive ?

 

i try to download a darwin 8.0.1 ISO but i not success to ungzip to an ISO ....

 

i try rd=disk0 (disk0s0) ..... to boot from the harddrive NOTHING WORKS

 

Please help

Boby.

Well, I'm not sure why it wouldn't boot normally, without the need for the DVD. Are you dual booting with something like Windows, perhaps?

 

On a side note, if something is really wrong with the Darwin bootloader, you can fix it by copying the bootloader from your 10.4.4 or 10.4.3 DVD, from the /usr/standalone/i386 directory. You can do this by booting into single user mode on your install DVD, or even using a Live Linux CD/DVD.

Thx James,

 

I do not dual booting

I install OSX on a disk and i erase it all.

 

my pb is to create a bootable disk of darwing

i read that by typing unix cmd i will be able to make the hard drive bootable.

(shell, fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0, y, fdisk -l /dev/rdisk0, print, flag1, write, quit, reboot)

 

I see file in the /usr/standalone/i386 but how i can use them to make a cd bootable ?

 

I also use the -s single user mode option but ... no result ...

 

Did i do something wrong with the disk utility ?

I chose the default Mac setting.

 

 

Thx
