How to load the main HD with read/write priviledges from the 10.8 installation dvd

[velkropie]

hello,

 

i was helping my friend upgrade from 10.8 to 10.9 and he now only gets a blue screen,

how can i load the main HD with read and write access, the disk only loads as read-only, so i can't drop files in it...

 

any help will be greatly appreciated..

 

thanks

you can access single user mode by pressing F8 as the computer boots and input -s in the darwin boot option.

type:

mount -uw /

 

Cheers,

ok, thanks...i was doing an upgrade from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 but i got the blue scree....i've tried to add the files back from the guide http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=45283 but nothing works, i can't get the blue screen to go away.

 

cp /old /mach_kernel

cp -R /loginwindow.app /system/library/coreservices/

cp -R /AppleSMBIOS.kext /system/library/extensions/

cp -R /AppleACPIplatform.kext /system/library/extensions/

cp -R /AppleAPIC.kext /system/library/extensions/

cp -R /IOATAFamily.kext /system/library/extensions/

cp -R /system.kext /system/library/extensions/

rm -rf /system/library/extensions.*

 

 

 

is there a way to get these files from somewhere else, i don't think the ones i backed up work...thanks
