JammLP Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I have both Mac OSX 10.6.4 and Windows 7 Ultimate installed on my computer. Recently I tried to update to the latest chameleon bootloader, now my problem is that I can't boot into OSX.. When I boot with -v, I get told that it failed to locate SMC driver, apparently this can be fixed with FakeSMC, but I can not boot into OSX to add the kext? What can I do? I have full access of Windows. Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/234572-is-this-possible/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

JammLP Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Very. All that appears is my Windows 7 partition, the only way I can see the OSX is through "Disk Management." And from there, there is nothing I can do, as windows does not recognize HFS+ partition formats Unless there is another way for me to install fakesmc.kext, it seems like there isn't much that can be done....

oldtopman Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Use Puppy Linux to mount the OSX drive (you will need to specify it manually, look at gparted for more info) and then you can edit.

alvaro_il_metallaro Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 You can boot from snow leopard installation disk and use the terminal. If you want to use a linux distro remember that to have write permissions on hfs+ partitions you have to disable journaling (from installation dvd -> disk utility). Hope this is useful Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/234572-is-this-possible/#findComment-1566456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
