indragm Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 What happened before: Divide my HDD to 3 Partition Installed Win XP to Partition 1 Win XP running ok Installed JaS 10.4.8 to Partition 2 OSX 10.4.8 running ok Installed Parallel in OSX, decided that it's fast enough to run my Win program Use diskutility to erase Win partition and choose OS X disk format (HFS) What happened then: Restarted my PC, won't boot into OS X --> I assume that's because I deleted the Win partition and messed up with my MBR Boot proves ok if I boot with OSX DVD (didn't choose to install, then it'll boot fine) --> I assume my Darwin bootloader messed up and this is where I am standing now.. frustated. I can boot into my OS X fine if I use OS X DVD but without the DVD, it just won't boot, it will stop at that black screen where it display PCI device, my DVD ROM information etc (when you just boot up a computer) with a blinking cursor. Any fix? I've tried reinstalled everyting, re-partitioned my hard drive, to no avail. It still won't boot. I could've tried installing Win again (since it works last time), problem is, I don't want any Win partition in my OSX machine My Spec: Gigabyte 945GCMX-S2 mobo Intel Core 2 Duo 2.22Ghz 2GB DDR2 RAM 160GB SATA HDD Nvidia GeForce 7300GT 128Mb Samsung DVD Writer Thank you so much in advance for any future help. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
