takeawaydave Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Firstly thanks for all Mashugly et al. and all others that post have created this amazing resource : ) I have run a sucessful install on to a SATA HD using a patched 10.4.4 restore CD. The 250 gB SATA HD has the following partitions: Dell Hardware Diag rubbish FAT32 Windows XP MCE 2005 NTFS MacOS X 10.4.4 HFS+ EDIT: All partitions are primary Following the install the machine rebooted straight back into Windows (i.e. Windows partition was still set active) and I installed Acronis OS selector. This found: Unknown 1 (which is Dell rubbish) Unknown 2 (OS X) Windows XP MCE Windows boots fine using Acronis however OS X goes to splash screen and then a "no entry sign appears". I'm not sure what the error message is since Acronis try and start OS X in verbose mode. I reckon it must be a boot loader problem (what else could it be !?) I'd like to keep using Acronis since it cost a lot and is very nice to use : ) What's the way to fix this? Would I get the same problem with the 10.4.4/10.4.5 DVD (should be done soon)? Thanks people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeawaydave Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 A little more information.... I have read the following http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=9553&hl=) which makes use of the following comands: bless -device /dev/diskXsY -startupfile /usr/standalone/i386/boot bless -folder /Volumes/macosx-10.4.4 -bootBlockFile /usr/standalone/i386/boot1h -setBoot I think I'm on the right track here. However I'm not sure where I should issue these commands. If I try terminal through the installer I get: -bash: sudo: command not found I think that the file system mounted read only during this type of term session anyway. I think people have been running these commands some other - not exactly sure how though. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeawaydave Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hmmm seems fixed now. Not sure what I did though....ran the startup disk utility and selected the installation however this time it booted OK. I'd done this before however so I am puzzled.
