ank14 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I seem to be having a problem with it booting up when I restart my computer. Basically what happens is it reads the disk in the drive and its thinking but after about 10 seconds it continues to load windows xp. This is the first time im actually trying uphucks I have been using JaS and it works fine when loading. Just wondering what can be done to get this to maybe work. Thanks.

BJMoose Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Since you've booted successfully from this drive before with JaS, it sounds like your boot settings in you Bios are okay (unless you've changed something recently). Since you have reburned your disk several times with the same outcome, that suggests to me that you have a corrupted original image. Have you tried another computer with one of these disks to see if it at least accesses it?

ank14 Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 I thought that it might be that too, so I redownloaded the copy as well as another release of uphuck tried both of them but I get that same problem where it seems like its waiting for me to press something to boot it up. I have tried pressing my normal boot button and it brings me to the list where I can select what exactly I want my computer to start up with, ie normal windows, safe mode. Is there another button or something else I am missing here with the uphuck's release?

jjng Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Did you partition the drive following Uphuck's Readme (during the installation)? More specificially, using a MBR on the drive? My guess is that the drive you are installing on doesn't have an MBR on it. Since it can't boot the drive, it skips to your Windows one.

ank14 Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Well I cant get into the installation because it doesnt even boot up. Its like it knows the cd is in the drive it just reads it and continues to load windows xp. *note* I havent installed mac osx on a partition yet because I have yet to get into the installation. I have tried 3 different versions of uphucks and they all did the same thing.

BJMoose Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 You can try the F8 button to bring up the boot loader on the disk, but I doubt if that is what's wrong.
