My guess is your partition is not active Before you try to reinstall try this. -put the install dvd in the drive and push F8 at start up. NO quotes while typing these in, OK! - type "-s" -after you get to the prompt type w/o quotes "fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0" (replace the 0 after rdisk for the # of your disk, If you only have one it will be rdisk0 -type "flag 1" (change 1 after flag for your partition # you want to make active, if you only have 1 partiton it will be 1) -type "exit" -type "reboot" If that does not work you need to reinstall again. Make sure to always unmount your drive with disk utility, before you reinstall this time. Hope I helped more than confused Good Luck edit: also look here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=88262 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88581-help-comapplebootplist-not-found/#findComment-632022 Share on other sites More sharing options...
