ghost1001 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hey all, I'm new to this forum and my question goes like this: I just installed OS X Tiger (Uphuck 10.4.9) on a seperate harddrive with my main one unplugged. The installer finished then hung when it started to reboot. So, I held the power button until it restarted. Oddly enough, the computer now will not boot into OS X even with my main harddrive unplugged. It gets stuck at the bios and thats it. The harddrive inticator light doesnt flash or anything. Also, my computer will not boot with that harddrive pluged in. I have to unplug the second harddrive (the one with OS X) to get vista to load. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance, ghost1001 Edit: Whoa...forgot to include system specs Model: Gateway GM5067 Proc: AMD X2 4200+ RAM: 3GB HHD: 40GB for OS X Graphics: nVidia 7600 KO OC ATI Tuner Sound: Onboard AC'97 and Creative X-FI XtreamMusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost1001 Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 Thanks for the response, but I do not really get what you are saying. I cannot even load the bios when both harddrives are connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost1001 Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 ok...i sort of fixed the problem by unplugging the harddrive, booting, then re-plugging it in. I was able to re-install OS X...now it won't boot because of the mach_kernel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
