subay Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I've allready searched for the error "non-system disk" but if haven't found any answer only questions... First installed the Version 10.4.6 with dualboot and bootloader (like in the tutorial) but it wasn't working. So I decided installing osx only for testing reasons. The installtion runs perfect, I've selected the patches for intel cpu. After restarting my PC I've got the "error" Non-System disk. After booting with the osx-setup-dvd I was looking into the harddisk setting. I suppose that the os must be on my harddisk it tells that there were about 20000 folders / files on it! Why did the os doesn't boot? My System: FSC Amilo M 1425 Intel Pentium M (SSE2) Ati Radeon Mobile 9700 HDD FSC 70 GB - 10 GB Mac - 60 GB Ms-Dos (format in osx setup for later win xp installation) every help an idea is welcome thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcoQ Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Did you install the bootloader properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subay Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Did you install the bootloader properly? In the previous installation yes, I suppose! But now osx is the only os which is installed so i doesn't need a bootloader or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gio on the mic Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 if you have only one partition on your drive you need be sure that the partition is set to ACTIVE in the partition map (you can do this with "qparted" from knoppix live cd or any other tool you prefer...)
