kc8pnd Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 First off hello all. I have been reading the site for about a year now and just got my first hackintosh up and running about 3 weeks ago. Today I got a weird issue when I rebooted my system. I did have an issue before where if I had an external usb hard drive plugged in during reboot it wouldn't boot. Well today I forgot it was plugged in and of course it failed to boot so I restarted and unplugged the device. Now I just get this red text saying "MBR Start!" has anyone seen this? If so what is going on? Thanks for any tips you may provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
