enochpc Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 It appears the bootloader didn't install properly. I would try to reinstall just the bootloader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpnet Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 I think. the driver power correctly and seems to start, but after a moment the cursor position on top-left of the screen and stay there. I think it look at something. the bootloader ?? I don't know. What can i check ? I tried another bootable USB-HD with linux and it boot correctly with grub 2, so the port is ok.

gpnet Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Okay , Now i reinstall the system partitioning with MBR. If I do that , do I have to check ( and set ) for active partition before booting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riws Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 No, it should do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpnet Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Okay , let me try. I'll say you something at the end . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpnet Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 unfortunately the result seems the same. I gave a sight with fdisk and the partitions seems ok. I have the 1 partition with HFS+ and 2 with fat. Also I noted that the 1 partition has not marked with * as when I changed it manually. what can I do now ?
