redline15 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I've installed the OS onto a new hdd (FAT32) and when i first boot up to MacOS, it shows "Preparing machine to boot MacOS" and stops there. Please advise. Thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3488-help-stuck-at-preparing-machine-to-boot-of-macos/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

redline15 Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 thanks mortis. i used diskpart and changed the format of the hdd to af and i was able to start up. then i patch maxxuss, rebooted and it seems to hang at the blue screen with the Mac logo (after the grey screen with the turning circle). must have patched something wrongly Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3488-help-stuck-at-preparing-machine-to-boot-of-macos/#findComment-22102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
