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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
