LooieENG Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I just installed OSX on my PC, and the installation went fine, but now when I restart after installation, it won't boot. I tried installing twice. I assume it's a boot loader problem. How can I fix it? Thanks.

Firefly Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 did you install any graphic drivers? that could be why some system specs would be nice what version of OSX? cmon you gotta give ppl more than "it didn't work" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63711-wont-boot-after-install/#findComment-450867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooieENG Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 ASRock P4i65G Intel Celeron D 2.8Ghz Intel 865G chipset (onboard video, but I'm getting a GeForce card) 1GB (2x512) Samsung DDR PC3200 SDRAM PS/2 mouse and keyboard The ISO was a 1.9GB ISO (1.19GB RARed) with no print drivers or other programs. I'm pretty sure it was Tiger and something like 10.4.2. I don't think it's video drivers, I think my PC just doesn't know it exists and can't boot it. On GParted, I have a 74GB hfs+ partition with no flags, and then a 200mb FAT32 partition with boot flags, but it has a warning logo next to it (yellow triangle with exclamation mark !). When I make the partition within the install disc, do I have to make it bootable? I think I read that somewhere... thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63711-wont-boot-after-install/#findComment-451119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooieENG Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 Right, I reinstalled it choosing MSDOS boot or something for the partition. Now I just need to get my internet working. I use RTL8139 drivers I think Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63711-wont-boot-after-install/#findComment-451188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
