Jason Dsouza Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hello guys need help with my mac install Hi guys I own a HP pavillion DV6845 tx laptop... (included last is the complete specification0 I created a bootable usb installation drive to install mac on my system.. my problems... During partitioning my keyboard wasn't getting detected and even my touchpad.. However I went ahead with the installation by using a external usb mouse (was detected)... I'm guessing I'll be able to install a usb powered keyboard for use on my system as well... which can be arranged by tomorrow... Now the installation was successfull but to boot into mac I have to first boot from the usb hard drive and specify there boot from notebook disc... else it just shows a blinking cursor ... What should I do so that it boots on its own with out that method... 2) installtion was shown as successful but once booted it tells me Before we begin please plugin a keyboard... no keyboard detected.. I have to still try with a usb external keyboard... otherwise its not working.. Need help with these issues..
