Darwin bootloader error

[styla]

Hey guys

 

I installed the mac os on my computer using the ideneb ver 10.5.4 which is working. However my darwin bootloeader got corrupted somehow on the hdd and when the computer starts i get boot error so i have to boot into mac using my darwin boot loader on the dvd.

 

Is it possible to reinstall the darwin bootloader onto the hard drive?

 

or can i delete the darwin bootloeader from the hdd?

 

Please help guys i cant find any way to reinstall the darwin bootloeader completely?

 

At the moment i can boot the mac using the boot loeader cd only

 

 

thanks

 

Regards

If you can boot and access your HD using the bootloader CD, then while running that, try installing the chameleon bootloader.

 

Hope this helps.

ok ill do that

 

will this override the darwin bootloader?

 

When i start up the system i get boot0:error and i have to boot using cd rather then hard drive?

Yes it will.

 

Boot0, eh? Thats usually if you are multi-booting or forgot to set the HFS partition as primary.

 

Here's a way to get the bootloader back...

 

1. Insert your iDeneb DVD in your disk drive and boot up from it.

2. Click "Utilities" and click Terminal.

3. Once terminal has loaded, type

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0

replace rdisk0 with your HD letter, like rdisk2. but if you have one HD and partition in your computer, just stick with rdisk0.

4. You will get an error, ignore it.

5. type p

6. now type f 1

7. type write

8. type y

9. and type exit

 

now see if it works!

 

NOTE: only do this if you have one HD and Partition in your comp.

Hi I have also a problem, as I did have erased the first partition of my Hackintosh HD, I have 2, now when I start up there is a error MBR not found..

I tried your advise but no luck here, I there something else I can do or should I make a brand new setup on the first partition in order to get to my second one?

Thanks in advance..

This hint does not seem to work on the latest installations.

Check the EFI bootloader article in the same forum.

You need more that just playing with fdisk....

Check: "Guide+Support; to installing EFI v8+ dual booting(Pics)...."

Yes it will.
