RollingMac Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I successfully installed iATKOS in my P5L-MX MOBO with a MBR Partition, everything went well through out the installation, yet when I boot it up, can only see the blinking cursor. Then I boot up using Gparted Live CD and set a boot Flag on the partition, restart boot up again, the blinking cursor is still there. I don't know why. Can someone help me?

raggedjagged Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Try running the "fixmbr" command by popping in a Windows XP cd or something and reboot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/78736-blinking-cursor-even-set-boot-flag/#findComment-557669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dense Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 iATKOS ir2 does not do the boot0 file. The boot code is incomplete. Boot from the DVD and use fdisk -e /dev/diskX where X is the drive number of the installation. Use the command update to write a fresh MBR microcode. This should only apply on disks that were initially either empty or where the partition table was changed by disk utility. Problem will be fixed in ir3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/78736-blinking-cursor-even-set-boot-flag/#findComment-557711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
