tops Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 What does it do without the CD? HFS+ Partition Error? Black screen? Restart cycle? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44450-no-boot-without-install-cd/#findComment-318196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_kilr Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Does it just sit at a black screen with a flashing line that is usually used to indicate where you are in DOS(for example)?(I have that problem so maybe your "fix" would for me too) Also what hardware are you using?

quacknhonk Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Without the CD the screen remains black with a blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner. Hardware: Dell Dimension 3000 (Stock) Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44450-no-boot-without-install-cd/#findComment-318369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
quacknhonk Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Looks like the problem is with DiskUtility.

quacknhonk Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 I got lazy and did not apply the ppfs. This issue is easily remedied as suggested by someone else by manually partitioning the disk in DiskUtility (rather than Erasing the disk and letting it do it automatically). If done automatically the partioning type is GUID based (EFI boot only?) and by doing it manually it is set to MBR (boots no problem).

Josh25 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hving same problem, just manualy partitioned first before intalling. Hope this works. Also, this is a dumb question, but how do i apply the ppf updates? do i apply it to the original iso? if so how. thanks for any tips/info.

Lactobacillus P Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 (edited) Copy chain0 from the OSX dvd and put it in the root of your C drive. It's the Darwin bootloader and this can easily be used in conjuction with the standard boot menu from XP. To do this edit the BOOT.INI file that also sits in the root of your C drive. Edit boot.ini to include macOS as another option, you can also find it in the root of the windows drive. Here's how mine looks after editing in the last line BOOT.INI [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT c:\chain0="OSX - press f8 for options" Now what this does is display a boot menu right after I startup my system. Choose OSX and do press f8 right after you pressed enter, maybe even a couple of times. You'll now enter the Darwin bootloader and this should display both your windowsXP partition as your OSX partition. Select the OSX partition and press enter. If all goes well you'll be able to boot OSX.
