PsicheAlCubo Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hi everybody. I have a little problem and hope you guys can help me out. I have had for about 1 year and a half my pc working flawlessly with the initial dual boot between W7 and SL 10.6.5 Today I decided to apply the 10.6.8 update...so I started reading here and there some guides on how to...I predisposed everything and started the process. I just left the pc unattended for about 10 min but this was enough to my daughter to agree with the "reboot" option she was given after the update process...and therefore I couldn't apply any kext patch to have all the kext working properly. As a result I now can't control anything as the USB ports are not working and I am without a mouse and a keybord to do anything... Is there a way I can push the correct kext from "outside" ? I don't know...can I use the iAtkos installing dvd to load ###### in any way? Any other suggestion? W7 is loading and is working properly and I have access to the mac partitions through MacDrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Let's see what we can do. 1. Boot W7 2. Download and unzip the USB files: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?rvb9yoxygp9ur09 3. From W7, on your Mac Disk, go to /System/Library/Extensions and replace the USB files 4. Boot iAtkos, answer the language question 5. Go to the Utilities menu and select Terminal 6. Type: cd "/Volumes/(name of your Mac Disk)" <== use quotes but not parentheses 7. Type: cd System/Library/Extensions <== notice, there is no slash in front of System 8. Type: chown -R root:wheel IOUSBFamily.kext IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext 9. Type: chmod -R 755 IOUSBFamily.kext IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext Reboot -v -f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
