kube Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Right... been experimenting and doing re-installs, and I just can't figure out what's wrong... So here's my setup: Q6600 Core2Quad Asus P5k-SE motherboard XFX Geforce 8800GTX 2gig's ram 160gb Western Digital 8mb SATA 500gb Western Digital 16mb SATA I plan to install Leopard into 1 physical HDD, the 160gb one, and Vista unto the 500gb one. For the sake of simplicity, I took out the 500gb HDD anyway. Here's what I'm doing (fresh install): 1. Boot into iATKOS dvd 2. Goto Disk Utility 3. Erase everything on my HDD 4. Setup 1 partition called "Leopard", format HFS+ (Journaled), set as MBR So now, I have a partition with the designation disk0s1 5.Run Darwin Boot 6. Setup on HDD 1 and partition 1, EFI enabled. Operation successful (I think? I see a 'successful' in the log... ) 7. Customise installation - EFI emulation options enabled, VGA driver Geforce 8800. (Didn't touch anything else) 8. Install!!! 9. Install successful (As indicated by the giant green tick!) 10. Restart 11.From BIOS, boot into HDD. 12. Blinking cursor at the top. Shifts down one line. Stops. And that is where I'm stuck at. A blank screen with a blinking cursor. It won't boot into the HDD. I have a feeling it's got something to do with Gparted Live CD. I think am suppose to use the Gparted Manager and set that particular partition to boot? But then again... I don't have any other partitions! So, there's no other partition on that 160GB HDD I can boot into. Thanks for any help rendered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauer418 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 You installed the darwin bootloader to the partition's bootsector, so on that drive there's no MBR to read from. You'll need to format your drive in the disk utility to use the darwin bootloader on the MBR (there's an option for this). It's not your installation DVD. During installation, go to Utilities -> Disk Utility Select your DRIVE (not a partition) on the left panel Select the "Partition" tab Click the "Options..." button Use an MBR setup Reformat, you shouldn't need to run Darwin_Boot if you do it this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
