Boots only with the DVD

[lucasmxbr]

I've got the uphuck 10.4.9 v1.3, and after installing and rebooting it just doesnt boot whithout the DVD. When i put the DVD and reboot the MAC boots normaly, and when im on the MAC, i cant eject the DVD, it says that some files are being used.

 

Before i install i did everything right, i've created an partition, seted the id=af, and activated, the only thing i didnt made was set the partition as primary. Could it be the error?

 

After doing this i've formated the disc on the Disk Ultility on MAC, and í installed the MAC Journaled.

 

All things work perfectly, the Video are perfectly(Video and Audio codecs), The Ethernet and Audio i already got the ktext fix files.

 

My config:

 

Intel Pentium D 820 2.8GHz

Intel D945Gtp - GMA950

LG LCD 19" 1280x1024

HD SATA Samsung 160Gb(for the SO: Vista, XP and MAC)

HD SATA Seagate 320Gb(for other files)

 

 

 

O, another thing, if i set all SO as primary they will apear on the system boot to my choise?

Im downloading Acronis Disk Director Suit, but how i will use it if it works only on windows?(after installing MAC i think i will be not able to use Windows, just after editing boot settings)

no answer?

You partition must be primary in order to host OSX. (Read the WIKI)

Installing Acronis should take care of multi-booting for you. And no, you don not need windows in order to use it.

You could just try selecting the disk as a startup disk using the utility. That worked for me once when I could only boot with the DVD.

You could also try marking the partition as active with fdisk. There is a tutorial around here somewhere.
