winlinmac12 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Okay...using Ubuntu, I have looked inside my installation of Leo Kalyway 10.5.2 for AMD 64s. I feel as though it is missing the file that starts up the OS boot...like the way ISOs anf IMGs start up disks, games, etc. All I know is that I installed it successfully...but I have NOT made Leo boot from my external hard drive. I've been told over and over it's a bios issue...but perhaps I am missing a file. The files/folders inside the drive, that are visible are the following: Applications, Library, System, Users, and then a strange un-openable document named mach_kernel.ctfsys Is this correct. Also...has anyone on here ever gotten Leo to work on an HP Pavilion 9700 before or am I going through all this for nothing because it's not compatible. >_< Thanks, Winlinmac12 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/166452-help-needed-missing-files-or-something-else/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kytzu Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 you can boot again from dvd, open terminal and use fdisk to install the bootloader (this if you installed osx on a internal hdd because I don't think you can boot from external usb device) bash-3.2# fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 Enter 'help' for information fdisk: 1> help fdisk: 1> update fdisk: 1> write fdisk: 1> quit Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/166452-help-needed-missing-files-or-something-else/#findComment-1156519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
