hazar Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 After using MacOS some time, I figure out that I don't need Windows anymore So, I delete Windows partition, delete Mac partition and merge it in one BigMac partition. Also I have one more partition with my data, total two partitions. I do clean install of MacOS and after reboot I've got "System config file ...blah-blah... com.apple.boot.plist not found". When I boot from DVD and wait (8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 GO!) system boots up. I recheck is the startup disk set to active about thousand times, I also try using whole HDD for install, I do some terrible manipulations with MBR in fdisk... nothing. When I boot with DVD inserted, I can see com.apple.boot.plist in /Library/Prefer... so, there where it should be. P.S. Earlier, when I had a Windows, I use Acronis OSS, and all worked. Heeelp me! Edit: Almost forgot, I use JaS 10.4.8 with PPF1 and PPF2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecker Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 You need to reinstall the darwin bootloader on your HDD. This can be done by booting off your DVD, opening a terminal window and entering this command: fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0 and then reboot. rdisk0, is what your start HDD is named if you have only one HDD in your system. If you have more than one and you are not sure where OSX resides, then you can find out by typing this in the terminal: diskutil list It will show you a list with all of your HDDs, each with an index number on the first column. Once you verify your disks index you can replace that in rdisk, ie. if your disk has an index of 2 then the command must be: fdisk -u /dev/rdisk2 Good luck, hecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hecker Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hmm, I know this isn't really a solution, but what if you just kept using acronis as a bootloader? hecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazar Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 As long as I don't use Windows, I cant use Acronis. Right? I really don't want to assign disk space for Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecker Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Why? You don't need windows in order to use Acronis: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/produ...ltibooting.html hecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
