zijian Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hey, I'm having a bit of trouble here. Basically I reformatted my hard drive, and I want my Leopard back the way it was. So before I formatted the hard drive, i used time machine to back it up. After I installed Vista, I installed Mac as I would, so I got a clean copy of Mac, and of course made sure it booted properly. Now here's the problem. I tried using the Time Machine backup from the Kalyway 10.5.2, it didnt work. So i used the Time Machine from iAtkos i4 or something. It worked.... sorta. At first I couldnt boot into Mac at all, but I discovered, by accident, that I could boot into it by flagging the Mac partition and booting it using the Kalyway 10.5.2 disc. So i know that the Time Machine worked, because my files are all there, every single one of them, and they all function. The trouble i'm having is booting into it, since it's only bootable when I've already flagged the Mac partition and then boot from the Kalyway DVD. does anyone have a solution for this? I've already tried to do the chain0 and boot0.gtp from vista, but no goal. I'm sure its just missing a few key boot files in the Mac partition, but i dont know what they are. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/134642-time-machine-and-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_2k Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi. Installing Chameleon Bootloader should fix your boot issue. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/134642-time-machine-and-boot/#findComment-954278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
