mexicano1245 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hello everyone I used the ToH RC2 Distribucion to install leopard on a BLANK SATA2 Hard drive... and I followed the "Eneable AHCI and SATA NATIVE mode" on bios thing... Also used Blank HDD on port 0 and SATA DVDrw on port 1.... I have succesfully installed, and so far tested it and it seems stable, installed Adobe Master Collection, iLife and iWork... everything is smooth and ok.... The only funny thing it does is that, the ToH installation DVD has to be booted in order to "Initialize" the HDD... What I do is, put DVD with ToH RC2 as First boot device and HDD as Second... then wait 8 seconds of "Press any key to install OSX" and then AFTER that, it Boots the HDD with Leopard on it... If I put the HDD as first boot device I get a "Uneable to boot OS error" no mather what I do... Just to mention it... the Hard drive (Port0 SATA2) is recognized as "External" (Orange Icon) and I have no other partions on the disk... Just 298GB of HFS+ Is what's there... Can someone point me a way for a solution to this? Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/75749-funny-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
