Spingk Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 This is how I installed OSX. 1. Downloaded Deadmoo's tiger image 2. Opened VMware and booted the image 3. Changed the password in single user mode 4. Installed Darwin 8.0.1 in vmware onto a physical hard drive to format it to HFS+. 5. Booted the image and logged in. 6. Ran disk utility. 7. Ran the restore feature in disk utility. 8. After restoring the image to the physical hard drive I ran the fix permisions feature. I was told to then boot into single user mode and run some commands to make the disk writeable and stuff. (it was a tutorial on crocretesurf.co.nz/osx86). But when I try to boot from the physical hard drive (be it natively or in vmware), it hangs on a underscore (_). Any ideas? -Spingk Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/524-cant-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spingk Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Turns out the hard drive was corrupted. I thought MacDrive was bsing me but I guess not. I redid the install with out turning off vmware's computers by hitting the stop button, and it worked. I just can't get into single user mode.
