168 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I've had iDeneb installed with all up dates, every working a ok for a week and out of nowhere I restart and get this message. E8300 ASUS P5K-E Running sata hdd's as IDE, yes they are still set in IDE. SATA DVDRW No configuration changes at all, all I did was restart the mac and I get this message. ACTUALLY. I have it install on a 320GB HDD 100GB for the osx partition and 200GB as spare in FAT32 I went into disk utility and formatted the 200GB as MAC journalled. Then restarted and that happened. Could the boot sector have been installed on the 200GB partition? Anyway I can restore the boot sector without installing everything again?

168 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 ***3RD UPDATE*** It seems I can get into MAC OS X if I use the boot loader on the CD. So I wait till it asks me if I want to do anything, then leave it. Then it goes into the chameleon / darwin load and instead of having the FIRST PARTITION HIGHLIGHT as it normally does, it has the SECOND partition, this was the partition I just formatted in Drive Utilities. If I high the first mac os x partition it loads up fine. If I highlight the second I get the plist error. It seems that mac os x is trying to boot from the 2nd partition instead of the 1st partition. HOW CAN I FIX THIS? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/169234-bootplist-not-found-error-with-working-1056/#findComment-1169726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
