It's Mac OS X 10.4.7, and I burned it into a DVD. Aftering having placed it into my DVD Drive as well, I tried booted it up. However, if I do it normally, it shows the Apple logo, but no throbber underneath. Entering verbose mode leads me to a certain point before it stops. If anyone needs screenshots, please tell me. I don't have a camera handy, but I can borrow one. Thank you in advance for your help.

Silare Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 My mistake, I also should mention that I have also tried to boot this in VMWare and while it runs, I can't erase my partition in order to format it into a Mac OS X (Journaled) format from FAT32. It can't read my partition map. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/31445-jas-os-1047-will-not-start-up/#findComment-219014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silare Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Please help, someone? I don't know the rules for bumping on this forum, so I'll assume it's a day... IF anyone can show me to the rules, that would be appreciated. I only see a list of suggestions.

Silare Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 I hate to keep bumping... But could anyone aid me? I also noticed in VMWare running with two processors causes Mac OS X to fail.

OriginalMACNUT Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I hate to keep bumping... But could anyone aid me? I also noticed in VMWare running with two processors causes Mac OS X to fail. Use at you risk. 1. boot your current osx ( 10.4.6 ) 2. make sure that that disk was blessed at one point. 3. from osx, open the install dvd 4. open system folder. 5. open installation folder 6. find osinstall 7. run install 8. install to a disk that once booting, say an old 10.4.3 9. the install will hang at the end. 10. open back up the install dvd, manually install everything but the lang. 11. after man. install. Repair permissions. NOTE: YOU CAN NOT RUN THIS UPDATE TO THE DISK YOUR RUNNING OFF OF, IT WILL ONLY LEAVE YOU WITH A NONE BOOTING DISK.

Silare Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 So in other words... I require TWO disks? And note my problem is - I can't boot up the Mac OS X disc at all natively - only in VMWare.
