owner Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 i installed a sound kext and was reparing permissions. A little while later I turned of computer as screen went blank (this happens to me if i dont close monitor and it enters power saving mode - and then i cant get back unless i restart my pc). Now it goes to the grey screen with apple logo and the circle continually spins round and round but nothing else happens and there is no hard drive or cd activity. When i boot into the installation cd and go to disk utility it doesnt see my leopard partition and one of my ntfs partitions, it only sees my windows recovery partition. Can someone please help me out quickly... I'm desperate to get it working Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118329-urgent-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jizzle Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 try booting into safe mode (-x) and if you are lucky enough to get back into leopard, do the following:- open up System Preference click on Energy Saver and set the "Put Computer to sleep and Display to sleep" to never and also uncheck "put the hard disk to sleep" now reinstall your sound kexts and repair permission, hopefully dis helps tip:- try verbose mode if problem still exists (-v) to debug it further.
