MyghKaR5b Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Solved my hard drive problem. Used Windows XP CD, entered recovery mode, formatted the drive to NTFS, added an MBR. Rebooted into Jas DVD. Set partition as active, Formatted the partition to HFS+, rebooted and installed 10.4.8 onto the drive. Now here is my current problem. I get past the grey apple logo screen turns blue and gets stuck in a infinite loop between flashing the circle progress bar and displaying the mouse in the upper left hand corner. I'm new to the OSX86 scene so I don't know if this is a frequent problem or what. Hit me with some knowledge InsanelyMac. Thanks Additional Info.. I rebooted with verbose mode on and it seemed to get pretty far into the bootup then the screen went black, my LCD start blinking like it wasn't getting video feed. I quit working on it for now. Will do more research later.

MyghKaR5b Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Well -v -f -k didn't help much. I didn't get to see the last line before my hackintosh dropped the video feed. Thought I DID get to boot into OS X via safe mode (holding down shift). This is very interesting. So whatever safe mode disables allowed the computer to bootup, any ideas?
