Hi there guys and girls, I would be very appriciative if someone could help me with the problem i have here.

I am a noob at this osx86 game so please go slow :-)

 

The Background

I have an HP dv 2000 laptop with a 160g hard drive. The drive is partitioned and orriginaly had vista on the main partition and system recovery on the second. I have downloaded and installed kalyway 10.5.2. on the primary partition ( I did not care to keep vista) the instalation went fine.

 

The Problem

The machine willl only boot if i leave the kalyway dvd in the drive, if I dont do this I get an HFS+ Partition error.

 

Things I have tried

 

1: On boot up with the kalyway dvd I have pressed f8 and then -s in the console

I then type Fdisk -e/dev/disk0s1 hit return

I then type Flag2 and hit return but get the error command not found

 

2: I have booted osx with the dvd in the drive, navigated to the com.osx.boot.plist and edited it to read

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>rd=disk0s1</string>

 

The above two things I have tried have not worked, I have searched for more solutions to the problem but have not found any. Is there no program that I can just run in osx that can fix the issue? what can I try?

 

Thank you very much for your help

Chris

boot without -s then go to terminal type this:

fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX

flag Y

update

write

quit

 

where X is the disk and Y is the partition os x is installed

 

 

dont think you need this:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>rd=disk0s1</string>

"winload.exe the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or currupted"
