japot2002 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) basically this is my first post, title says it all. Got osx86 10.4.8, running on an amd 64 3400, asus a8r-mx, 1 gb ram. anyway, ive got acronis os selector running in the beginning, it loads up fine. when i choose windows xp, it loads up perfectly. but when i go to choose osx it never gets past the blank cursor blinking screen. however, when booting from the install disc throught the bios and letting darwin count down it will then load osx right up! the partition is set as primary through partitionmagic, also as active under acronis os selector. im basically just confused as to why i cant just load osx from the acronis selector screen with no disc?? anyone got any ideas?? all help is appreciated.

BarryBar Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I too am using Acronis OSselector for some time now and and I had a similar problem with booting Vista from a different hard disk. Also got the bleeping cursor on the left, black screen. The problem is caused because OS selector is looking in the wrong place for the OS. I solved this by going to the properties by right clicking the Icon. When I reversed the order of the hard disks my system booted Vista. If you do not have seperate harddisks my guess is that the order of the parttions is wrong in the case of OSX. Hope this helps you to find the solution.

cbmkgd Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 @japot: have you tried without acronis os selector (aoss) and without the osx install dvd? you can test by disabling aoss, and setting the osx partition active. to enable aoss again, you'll need to make the acronis bootable cd.
