aa.nph Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Sorry about my English. I was looking for this problem in forum but i didn't find. I have tried to install chimera 1.6 (from pkg installer pack) to the MBR but when I restart system, seem it don't found boot sector on my HDD and it begin to boot from USB or bootable CD. So I boot mini xp to fixmbr then restart. It starts as normal as before I install chimera. Then I use rBoot CD to boot OSX. I install boot0 to the MBR from chameleon pack manually then restart. It like when I install chimera. Also I try to active OSX partition again but it's so. Anybody help me ?

zurie Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 how big is your hard drive? is it > 2TB also. do you know if you are using 4k sectors? boot up with a USB or CD. run chameleon wizard. Menu: Chameleon Wizard > Preferences > EFI Partition Support the app will quit, reopen it. EFI Menu: Format EFI partition to HFS Target Partition: Select the EFI partition Install Chameleon Wizard to the EFI if you use a Extra folder you can put it in the EFI, but if you have a EXTRA folder on the EFI and your root HD the Root will override the EFI, just FYI report back progress and thanks if it helps.

Sheldon Cooper Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Gringo, which post should I look for? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/273361-cannot-install-boot0-to-the-mbr/#findComment-1777594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 First find out if you really have a 4k sector drive. Look up the specs at the manufacturer's website. The post to look for is the one where someone says to do something and then several people replying "thanks, that worked".

Sheldon Cooper Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thank you, most of all for the sarcasm. The fact is I really don't understand completely what they talk about. Could you please post here, exactly what to do?

Gringo Vermelho Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Sorry but I can't think of a way to explain it better than it's explained there already. Post #12 and onward - boot from a Linux live CD and use DD to install boot1h to your OS X drive. If you don't know how to do that then I can't help you.

aa.nph Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 I did it all but it printed boot0:test boot0:error after I have active OSX installed partition. And printed boot0:done boot1:error when I didn't active any partition. What it means ?

Black SER Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I was having the same issue just like you were. What you will need to do is Have a second MAC/Hackintosh Download latest cameleon bootloader with the manual install package. Unzip the package on the secondary Mac (spare mac) I took apart an extra USB WD passport USB/Sata and instead used my laptop harddrive. I then downloaded Chameleon Wizard to my Second Mac/Hackintosh and clicked on "Folder on Disk" with the boot0hfs selected I then manually went to my manual install package, but picked what was inside the "usr" folder of the Chameleon bootloader. Now reattach to your laptop and you should see your Sandy Bridge and bootloader. Good Luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/273361-cannot-install-boot0-to-the-mbr/#findComment-1778441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
