~pcwiz Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Boot OS X in verbose mode and record your errors down. Never mind, I found out the solution. (DO THIS ONLY IF YOU ARE NOT DUAL BOOTING ON THE SAME HARD DRIVE) Boot into installer DVD and go into Disk Utility Choose the hard drive you installed OS X from the left Click Partition tab Click the Options button Choose Master Boot Record Click OK and Partition the drive again (Click partition) Reinstall OS X and reboot!

~pcwiz Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Oh, I forgot you are using JaS. The options button is only in Uphuck. I suggest grabbing Uphuck 1.4iR3 and then using that for the formatting and partitioning part (with the options button). Then install JaS as normal.

mitch_de Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 This thing (starting with an blinking cursor ) is mostly seen, when something is wrong with the darwin bootloader. OS X will be "there", but it is simple not booted. Also , in this case, most people will have surprise, if they boot with OS X boot CD in. Then it boots from your OS X volume, but that didnt help really. There is somewhere here an Guide "How to install Darwin bootloader" , without doing whole install again.
