Spiritfyre Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hi ppl, First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong section! Plz feel free to move it if it is! I have recently tried to install iPC OSx86 Universal 10.5.6 (the latest version, i believe) and it seems to install OK, but i cannot boot into it?!? After installing from the disk, if the disc is in the computer when it restarts, it just comes up with the option to boot from the DVD again? and if i try to physically go to the drive containing the install, it comes up with an error on screen saying: boot0:GPTboot0: HFS+ boot0:booting boot0:done boot1:startupfile and it just hangs there, nothing happening? I am a real n00b, so if someone could help me in really simple terms please? i am not afraid to reinstall the iPC again, if thats what it takes! BTW: I have googled this error, and so far it all assumes that the user has been able to access the operating system and run it, and they fixed the error that way! But i cannot, is it something with my install etc? My Specs: Proccessor: AMD Athlon 64 Chipset: VIA K8T800 HDD: 60GB windows partition, 48GB iPC RAM:1.75GB Main OS: Windows XP is there any other specs you need? btw btw: i also want to be able to dualboot with windows on this, just incase you hadn't picked it up Thanks in advance AppleHac Lover EDIT: I tried running fro the disk again, ran with the '-v' bootflag and the startup froze at the following errors: Unable to mount /dev/disk2s1 (status code 0x00000047)Unable to mount /dev/disk0s1 (status code 0x00000047) Any ideas?

DAN123 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Try it with just the OSX86 drive connected. Think it might be the IDE drives connected Where you into the OS install chameleon i think that will sort it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/216781-how-do-i-install-ipc-osx86-universal/#findComment-1459463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
