argonlazer Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I remember seeing a topic similar somewhere but I couldn't find it so appologies. I've just downloaded a copy of "ToH_x86_9A581_RC2.iso" and it installed YAY! I couldn't be bothered to mess with MBR's and Grub etc so I shoved and 160gb ATA hardrive in my PC and used the inbuilt "Hardrive Selector Bootloader" which worked in the past. However now when I select to boot to the ATA hardrive I get a flashing _ like cursor and it sits there doing nothing? In order to boot into Leopard I have to Leave the DVD in the Drive for it to boot up? This is rather irritating. Does anyone have any an idea what's going on? My Computer Spec: Processor : Intel Pentium D Frequency : 2666 MHz Manufacturer : Packard Bell NEC Mainboard : NEC COMPUTERS INTERNATIONAL GA-8TRC410M-NF Bios : Phoenix Technologies, LTD Chipset : ATI RS400/RC400/RC410 Physical Memory : 2048 MB DDR2-SDRAM Also, does anyone here use a Wireless Network Card RT2500 chipset with Leopard here? Thanks very much. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86221-resolved-cant-boot-without-dvd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbo Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 enter the installation and open the terminal. Then type /usr/misc/script.sh YOUR HARD DRIVES NAME I had the same problem, however, you have to make sure that ur partition is formated in mbr mode.

Chaos Storm Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 This is a common problem, I have this myself. If I find time I'll mess with a Bootloader. Maybe I'll use Acronis OS Selctor, It's good.
