leejames04 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Ok recently I tried to upadte my hackintosh to 10.5.2 (had a kernal panic during install) so the bootloader kept resetting itself so I reinstalled and that didn't sort it out. I then later reinstalled only to find that the bootloader will now say calibation (I think it means calibration) failed two times and is stuck. I have recently updated my BIOS so could that be the problem? Could reinstalling it do the trick. I need to access my hardrive to get some stuff off.

superjunaid Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 bump; I really need help with this Hi LeeJames, do you have a usb external drive? if you do, you can boot from the Leopard DVD and copy off the files etc using terminal to the usb external drive. Another way to take off files from the drive would be to take it out of the system and connect it to your working machine via USB external case, or plugging it directly to the IDE/SATA port of the working system. To re-install the OS X, you might want to check all of the BIOS settings and make sure that they're the same as before. Usually updating the BIOS resets all of the custom settings. Also please update your signature so we know what type of system you have. Good Luck!
