DrewDigity Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I went through the installation process of editing my boot.ini file with the link to the Chain0 file and partitioning my hard drive with 150gigs of space for the install. I booted to Myzars 10.4.6 install DVD and went through the installers disk utility to verify my drive was ready and Named it Apple Mac OS X86 as instructed in a tutorial. I went through the installation making sure not to install the language packs and printer drivers as instructed. I finish the installation and reboot. Upon reboot I get the following message Hit F1 to reboot, F2 for System Setup. I've tried cleaning my drive and reinstalling several times and still get the same message. Please someone tell me why!

Rammjet Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Upon reboot I get the following message Hit F1 to reboot, F2 for System Setup. That is not an OSX message. Sounds like the BIOS of your computer or something in Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wondergod Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Sounds like your getting a No boot device found and its telling you to Reboot or Enter bios setup to verify hard drive... What does it show right before that message? If it scrolls to fast try hitting the pause button it should pause the screen. Like Rammjet says it sounds more like a BIOS or Win message...anyway to get a pic of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDigity Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Its goes straight from my Dell screen to saying the message press F1 to reboot or F2 for system setup. I did add the following line to my boot.ini file before installing. C:\chain0="Mac OS x86" I made sure to copy and paste the Chain0 file from the install cd to the C: drive as well. I followed the tutorial exactly. http://drchoc.blogspot.com/2006/04/mac-os-...on-windows.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wondergod Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 If you hit the ESC key during the dell screen you should see the actual bios load usually...also go into your bios and some will show you if your hard drive is even being recognized...

DrewDigity Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 When I go into system setup the C: drive is in the Boot Sequence, but it doesnt show the part that I partitioned off for Mac. I make sure the C: drive is checked as the first to boot, the second and only other thing in the list is the DVD-ROM drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphic Design Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Maybe U boot from wrong HDD? Try to change HDD from Boot menu in your BIOS. (Should make the HDD which have the Chain0 file boot first!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
