MacOSMatt Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hi, recently had X86 working perfectly on my intel celeron but absent mindedly clicked apple software update which i learn later kills it.. which it did. After formatting the hdd i installed X86 on, back to NTFS, booting with the X86 DVD only gets so far. it gets past first installation options screen and onto the mac screen with the laoding symbol.. and then after about 5-7 minutes of appearing to load, my computer shuts down. whats happening? any help appreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17401-reinstalling-x86-after-apple-software-update-reformat/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacOSMatt Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 An interesting update: i unplugged the hdds and booted off the cd and got a 'System config file' /com.apple.boot.plot' not found. tried this on 2 computers, got the same message. does this mean my dvds corrupt?
