muchlife Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 you should be able to use an install disc to boot into the osx partition, then use fdisk to make it active if you used a hacked install like iDeneb, iAtkos, etc then usually you can boot to the install disc and see your osx partition at the darwin prompt. If not, then try the grub_DFE.iso OSX bootloader, this will allow you to boot into an install disc or an existing OSX partition. once you have the osx partition loaded follow the instructions here to set partition as active via terminal http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversi...php/t22844.html you can also access terminal from the installer so booting into the partition is not necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
