KloneZ Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hi guys! I installed osx86 10.4.9 uphuck v1.3. The intsallation went smooth. Followed all the steps and didnt encounter any problems at all. Untill i restarted the computer and attemted to start Mac OS X. It gets me to the "select startup disk" and when i select the partition i installed the mac os on it flashes something really quick and gets me right back to "select startup disk". Commands like -x wont work, i tried everything. I have no problem booting Vista. I have an Intel dual core2 1.5 Ghz (supports SSE2, SSE3) with Vista. 2 gb ram 200 gb HDD Can anyone please help. Thank you soooooo much Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/67980-stuck-at-select-startup-disk/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgeek56 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I reformated the drive/ partition again under Disk Utility which is in the OS X install disk. Hope you get your machine up and running!

llamuh Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I am having the same issue. Surely this is a common problem with a simple (hopefully) fix. I still haven't been able to find a solution in my searching. I really wish I could get this going soon as I completely ditched my previous windows and linux install to attempt this... so now I am basically without a laptop until I can either get this resolved or just reinstall win/nix. If specs will help: Alienware m5550 laptop Intel chipset (forgot the numbers) Intel Core2Duo 1.6ghz (sse2/sse3) 1.5gb RAM 80gb SATA HDD (not dual booting, drive is blank with exception of mac journaled partition) nVidia GeForce 7600GO I have tried reinstalling it 4 different times now. Each time I've selected a different kernel hoping maybe that was it.
