imodude Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Newbie alert. Kid gloves please :-) I've got a Samsung NC10. It's got 3 partitions on its disk. 1 and 3 are XP and Windows 7. I'm trying to get OS X on second partition. My current bootloader of choice is Grub which lives in the XP partition, and hence that is the active partition. Now, I've got a working OS X installation on a USB stick. I've got it just the way I want it, so used SuperDuper to "backup" from that to my 2nd disk partition. However Grub fails to load from the hard disk. I get the message: Invalid or unsupported executable format. So I'm looking for advice. I'm not sure how to verify whether my partition is good and it's a bootloader problem or if the bootloader is doing the right thing, but the partition is not bootable. Any suggestions? Many thanks, imo. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/152294-unable-to-boot-from-a-superduper-created-partition/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 You need to load Chameleon on that drive/partition to make it bootable! Super and CCC does not make it bootable like they do on a Mac!
