el guapo76 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hi everyone. I'm an OSX rookie and I'm thrilled about being able to run it on a PC. So far I've been able to install the Uphuck 10.4.9 OS Tiger release but I'm having no such luck with Iatkos . I have a Dell Latitude D820 with an Nvidia NVS 120 graphics, 200 gig sata drive(single partition). My issue is that after install I get a "b0 error". My understanding from searching through the forums is that this means the drive is not set as the active boot drive. But I've run the Darwin Boot from utilities before and after install(choosing drive: 1 partition: 1 (Disk0s1)with EFI. Afterwards I choose the two EFI options in the installation. Set up runs ok except when the actual installation begins there the install is inactive (no hard drive activity) for about the first five minutes other than the cd-rom spinning but fater that install fine. I've tried booting the system with the install disc in the drive after boot but is just brings me back to the installation menu. I've also tried selecting boot with Gparted but it already shows that the drive has the boot flag(no other flags) and finally I've tried running fdisk on the install cd and setting the boot drive and partition flags and still nothing. I'm wondering if maybe this is a problem with the sata drive. Note that there is not an option in th D820 bios to change to ACPI, although I'm not sure there should be. Also I have a Core 2 Duo but my Laptop on Tiger only work if I choose 1 core in the bios or run cpu=1, I have it currently running with 1 core in bios for Leopard installation assuming it will only run on 1 core. Sorry for the lengthy post but I just wanted do provide as much detail as possible, any help with this issue is greatly appreciated!!!

mattrb Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 b0 stands for "boot 0bviously not working because partition is not active and primary" Use diskpart!

el guapo76 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks, I got it working and I'm now replying from Leopard! I got it to work by formating from the Uphuck 10.4.9 to MBR (before it was formated to MBR with iatkos dvd), not running the darwin boot script, and not selecting either of the EFI options. I then set the boot flag with Hirens CD. I'm not sure which one did the trick but I'm hoping it's not EFI so I can install updates in the future, I will try loading EFI tomorrow using the same process and hopefully that will work. I will post on a reply on iATKOS faq in case anyone has the same issue. In case you are wondering everything works, minus sleep, sound (will patch), not sure about ethernet but probably not as it did not work with Tiger.
