leejames04 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I installed the 10.5.5 update but screwed up :S, luckily I can see all my Mac OS files in Windows with thanks to MacDrive. So I have 2 questions. 1.) Is it possible to sort out the screwed update with in windows with the help of MacDrive? 2.) If so what files do I need to find/change? and before you as yes, I do deserve this problem as I didn't back up my files Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/126456-repair-a-screwed-up-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomazzzi Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 1.) Is it possible to sort out the screwed update with in windows with the help of MacDrive? Yes 2.) If so what files do I need to find/change? The files you backed up ( kexts ) and before you as yes, I do deserve this problem as I didn't back up my files sad.gif Then you might be {censored}ed up remember : always backup your kexts before upgrading your system Solution : grab the needed kexts for your system & restore them with mac drive Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/126456-repair-a-screwed-up-update/#findComment-894125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flitz79 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have the same problem with 10.5.5, altough I backed up my extensions - but I have no second drive to install other os to fix it from there, so can I do it using leopard install disk and terminal? are there any commands to replace files in certain directory? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/126456-repair-a-screwed-up-update/#findComment-894190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawley Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 If you have intel core system you could use boot-123 cd/usb with generic image to boot into your existing install of os x and restore the needed kexts Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/126456-repair-a-screwed-up-update/#findComment-894275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
