tristan.oneil Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hello, Ok so I have trying to install OSX86 10.4.8 the tubgirl install and it used to work perfectly. Now what happens is I install it and everything goes smoothly but when it reboots after the install it does not boot it does not even go into the bootloader as if the drive is not even there. However if I have a cd in and I just let it try to boot from the cd but do not initiate the boot to cd by hitting enter it comes up with the error com.apple.Boot.com is missing error. PLEASE HELP ME! Any help would be much appreciated. Also just a thought. Could this have something to do with my boot record, I notice that when you install OSX it doesn't use MBR it uses something called GTB. Just a thought though. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42561-please-help-this-has-been-bothering-me-for-a-month/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zizou Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Something went wrong with your install.. lol. Problem probably is, have you made your HFS partition (where you installed your os ACTIVE? if not, use a simple utility like Fdisk to set it active, or use the trick that's in the genius bar.. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...=22844&st=0 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42561-please-help-this-has-been-bothering-me-for-a-month/#findComment-304597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macFabri Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Are you using ATA or SATA HD ? How they are conected ? If ATA, plug it with your DVD-ROM as Master on primary IDE of your mainboard abd try again. Try different ways and in your BIOS make boot sequence DVD-ROM, HD, etc and if more than 1 HD, put the one you are installing in 1st.
