hanZen Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hey.... I have tried installing OSX86 on the following machine: Processor: Intel Pentium D920 Memory: 2048 MB RAM DDR2 Graphics: 256MB X1600XT Motherboard: Intel 945G Hdd: 2x160GB SATA (Seagate Barracuda) I have Windows installed on one harddrive and I'm trying to install OSX86 on the other harddrive. 1. I format the second harddrive to the filesystem FAT32 in Partition Magic 8 2. Boot from the JaS 10.4.6 DVD 3. Choose Diskutility->Extended Journal (is that HFS+) and choose partition 4. Selects the drive and intall it. When the installation is done it does not boot into OSX86 or Windows for that matter. It gives me a black screen with something like 'B0' in the upper left corner of the screen! I'm I doing something wrong - have I missed something?? Hope that someone can help me!

gwprod12 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 He doesnt need to use partition magic. He needs to use the search function. LOL Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20860-what-im-i-doing-wrong/#findComment-137992 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanZen Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 I have tried it again doing the following: 1. Boot from DVD (jas 10.4.6) 2. Partition the harddrive (sperate) to the filesystem Extended Jounaled 3. When I verify the drive it says HFS, which it should 4. When the installation finishes and restarts my computer it just boots into Windows, or it gives me the booting screen where I can only choose to install the OSX86 again. In windows I can't see my second harddrive anymore after I installed OSX86, is that normal!? So my question is how do I get it to boot from the harddrive that I installed OSX86 on!? I really don't know what to do - I have tried searching but I'm really not so much into this! I really hope that someone can simplify things for me and tell what to do, or if I have not installed it correctly!? Thanks......

chevy2410 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 You need to make that OSX drive "active". Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20860-what-im-i-doing-wrong/#findComment-139832 Share on other sites More sharing options...
