Pay Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Ok I am using a Dell Demension E520 with a WD Passport. When I orginally installed the only way I could get it to work was to not install the boot loaders so I have been using the install disk for the boot loaders (aka I put the disk in let it boot to it but leave it a lone untill it went to the Hard Drive). So now my problem is I need to safe boot but I can't put in -x and still boot to the Hard Drive (it boots into the installer in safemode). So how can I go about booting into Hard Drive in safe boot using the bootloarders of the installer disk? If that makes sense.

iwannasave Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I am not an expert, but this might work: 01. Open a Terminal window and -> sudo /bin/bash and type in your password. 02. Edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist 03. Change the section as follows until you fix your issue: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-x</string> [code] 04. Once you are booted into safe mode and have done the things you want to do, edit this file to remove the kernel flag. There might be a better solution, but I think this might work. -IW Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/129702-1055-problems/#findComment-919096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
