Bender6681 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I am running 10.5.8 and decided to upgrade my hdd. I tried to make a dmg image of my install and restore from disk utility after booting to the install dvd. Now i can only boot the os if the install dvd is in the drive. I have tried to make my install partition active but cant. I have used disk utility, carbon copy and a clean install with the same results. Here is the results of diskutil list and fdisk /dev/rdisk0. diskutil list /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *1.8 Ti disk0 1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1 2: Apple_HFS Videos 1.8 Ti disk0s2 /dev/disk1 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: Apple_partition_scheme *1.8 Ti disk1 1: Apple_partition_map 31.5 Ki disk1s1 2: Apple_HFS Leopard 350.0 Gi disk1s3 3: Apple_HFS Storage 1.5 Ti disk1s5 /dev/disk2 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: Apple_partition_scheme *3.9 Gi disk2 1: Apple_partition_map 31.5 Ki disk2s1 2: Apple_HFS iDeneb v1.6 10.5.8 Lite Edition3.8 Gi disk2s2 and fdisk /dev/rdisk1 Disk: /dev/rdisk1 geometry: -1539437/4/63 [-387938128 sectors] Signature: 0x0 Starting Ending #: id cyl hd sec - cyl hd sec [ start - size] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused 2: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused 3: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused 4: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused Should my videos drive have that efi partition? I know a bit of stuff but get fuzzy when dealing with partitions and this efi stuff. Does anyone know how to correct this so i can boot from my hdd without needing the dvd?

Dellmantt Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Install chameleon to your new drive. CCC etc does not clone the chameleon part. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/253981-hdd-upgrade-fail/#findComment-1665569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender6681 Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 at this point im on a clean install not even using the cloned image. I installed with chameleon selected like i have always done. What im not understanding is why my fdisk shows all zeros on that drive. I have run the fdisk command on all the rdisks to double check to make sure i am selecting the correct one and all show zeros except my videos drive.
