SnowHow Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Your boot sector is corrupted. I ran into this with a "B0 Error" and this is how I fixed it: I grabbed my XP cd (Win2k should do also) and booted off the cd. Go through the motions as if you're going to install Windows. When it gets to the partition part, delete the partition and create a new one. Select the default (NTFS) let Windows setup format it, copy files to disk and reboot. Here's the part where we break away from Windows -- Once you see that Windows is going to boot up to continue setup, shut the computer down (hold power button for 10 sec most comps). Start it back up and remove the Windows cd and put back your OS X DVD. Boot into OS X setup. Once up, use the Disk Utility to erase and format THE PARTION *NOT* THE DRIVE! When that's complete, click on repair and let it check/ repair the disk. Usually it will tell you there's nothing to repair, which is what we want. Quit Disk Utility and Install OS X (make sure you click the "Custom" button to select the patch you need for your hardware (SSE2, SSE3, etc)). Reboot and "X" should start with no problems. Good Luck!
