Mountain Lion Bootloader Issues on Boot


6 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

So I finally got Mountain Lion to install.... and everything worked out of the box except for one thing.

The bootloader... it just wont boot without the DVD at all. It gives the error operating system not found if i don't put the DVD in first. I thought it might be because i have a 4K hard drive sector thing (it was a 1TB hard drive) but i switched it for 500GB WD hard drive. Still no luck, i've reinstalled a million times, tried every single bootloader installer, maunally installed the bootloader as well but no luck. I'm running only OS X Mountain Lion, no other OS at all.

 

Please help out with this

 

Thank You!

 

Specs:

  • Intel Core i3 Processor 2.2GHz
  • 6GB DDR3 RAM
  • (Had this hard drive) 1TB 7200RPM Hard Drive; now i have 500GB western digital 7200RPM
  • 24-Inch Screen, Intel HD Graphics 3000
  • It's an all in one computer by the way, & the computer is a vaio vpcl231fx is that helps

I have not installed with a DVD. I never installed boot loader on HD.

I install the Chameleon 2.2 boot loader on usb with Iatkos ML2 and use the correct options from the boot loader for my System.

You might try to load bootloader on usb , boot then install from dvd.
