skyhighmac Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hey guys. I'm trying to put leopard on the p4 in my sig. I've done the complete install process, but when my computer restarts, it goes to windows drive. I'm trying iATKOS. Thanks for the help! And by no means am I a noob. Just rusty.

minnie Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Just wondering if it's active. Check with Gparted Live CD, I had a bit of fiddling around regarding this from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David86 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 ok after you partition the drive of after install unmont your os partition and run these commands in termminal  fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (enter) replace 0 with your drive number, unless it is 0  update (enter)  f 1 (enter) replace 1 with the patition leopard is being installed or already installed on, if its not 1  w (enter)  q ( enter)  Remember this only works for mbr, and it will set the drive active and bootable  Ok in addidition to install the efi boot ,if you have rc 1 ,just add 1 to your hd number so if its rdisk0s1 assume its rdisk1s1 and if its rdisk2s2 assume its rdisk3s2 for the efi boot loader install.

Beatnik Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Well, this other method worked for me on my iATKOS: Download Hirens boot cd version 9.3, aprox. 80 MB (extraordinary repair and recue tool) burn the iso on cd, boot it from cd. 1- Go to page 2 (#9 next enter) 2- Select MBR tools (Master boot record tools) 3- Select #7 (partition doctor) 4- On operations click on "Repair MBR" 5- Restart and take out the disc 6- Congratulations, there is your Darwin bootloader This is thanks to MilesR from Uphuck forum Link of Hirens boot cd: http://rapidshare.com/files/63902881/Hirens.BootCD.9.3.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
