cyclejim Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 So I have the dreaded B0 error, and I have read thru the forums and know about the fix to make the partition active using the terminal function after booting with the install disk. But for some reason my keyboard will not type anything in terminal. I have tried my USB keyboard and a ps/2 style keyboard neither one works. The USB keyboard works fine once I am in OS-X. I also tried to use F8 and using the "-s" option ( I AM able to type "-s" by the way), however once I get to the command prompt..nothing cant type a thing! Any ideas?

Rammjet Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 The b0 error just means you need to set the partition active. Any Windows or Linux disk/partition utility can do this. Even "diskpart" built into Windows.

cyclejim Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Thanks Rammjet. As I mentioned I know that I need to set the partition active but for some odd reason my keyboard does not function in terminal. i guess I can try a windows based utility to set the partition active.
