tjfear Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I have a working DVD and a brand new IDE HD and I went through the install process of OSX from XxX 10.4.11. I click restart after the installation says it's successful and then I get the error "Disk Boot Failure. Insert System Disk..." Not sure how to fix this. I don't have the options of Darwin to type "tohkernel" or anything like that, I can't load the OS from the HD. Other HD's work, and this HD is even seen from XP and all the install files are intact and are viewable, so I don't think it's the HD. Anyone have some input?

Ianxxx Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 How did you format your hard drive? Sounds like you didnt set the boot flag, leave your 10.5 dvd in the drive don't touch anything and see if it boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjfear Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 I formatted it with MacDrive in XP. Formatted to HFS+ at first, and then in Disk Utility I formatted it to HFS+ (Journaled). It does not boot with the DVD in the drive; the DVD boots, but not the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
