franky dv9064 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hi, My dump ass let his mac install the updates and forgot to unchek the 10.4.9 update. It installed it fine but now my hackintosh won't boot I really need to prevent a clean install since I need the data. It now show's darwin for a few seconds then boots into the gray logo. After showing that for about 15 sec it reboot's. Any suggestions ? thnx !

Ferret-Simpson Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 If you have a USB/Firewire HDD, or a spare internal partition or drive, you can install OS X on it and use that installation to repair the original. It's what I do when I need to repair a broken partition, and I keep a third of my drive for that sole purpose.

erbic Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hit F8 right before the gray logo, type -v and hit enter. It'll boot up in verbose mode, and you can see where it hangs.
