AlexPunkallo Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Hi, i'd like to install Mavericks on my notebook HP G62 following this guide (http://www.insanelym...os-x-mavericks/). My pendrive is ready and inserted, i turn on the PC but the bios doens't identify it (like it wasn't inserted). I tried to install different versions of Chameleon but it doesn't work. Can you help me? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300287-problem-with-usb-installation-missing-in-bios/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexPunkallo Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Sorry! Do you think that if i install another bootloader it could work? I am worried that it could change some parameters in the usb Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300287-problem-with-usb-installation-missing-in-bios/#findComment-2052294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendietinha Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 the problem doesn´t seem to be the chameleon. you don´t have an option to choose boot order in bios and or in the initial screen? how old is your machine? btw you should post your specs.

AlexPunkallo Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Yeah i can choose the boot order and i can also switch the first boot in the initial screen of the bios . The problem is that the bios reads every normal pendrive but when i prepare it for a USB (OS X) installation the boot doesn't find it, the pendrive like disappears. I thought that maybe the bios is not able to read the format of pendrive made in this way for the installation. P.S.In the italian section a guy said that there should be an option in the bios to allow it to read pendrive with a OS installation but i didn't find it.

mendietinha Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 nice hw. should work fine. no bullcrap. the pendrive should be booted normally. of course, disable uefi and secure boot. change it to legacy. i suppose you already did it.

AlexPunkallo Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 I never considered that things but i don't have uefi and secure boot choise in the boot menu. I searched on internet and it seems that it should be a "secure boot" option in the menu so i updated right now the bios but nothing, no option Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300287-problem-with-usb-installation-missing-in-bios/#findComment-2052724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendietinha Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 idk, mate. perhaps your pendrive is problematic. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300287-problem-with-usb-installation-missing-in-bios/#findComment-2052734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
