seaboltman Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 alright folks i wanted to ask a question. I Installed using a Zpehyroth disk onto my IDE harddrive. I formatted and partitioned correctly best I can tell, but when it goes to boot, all i get is a DOS Screen with a blinking cursor. No error messages, just... nothing I installed using these instructions. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...l=AMD+Zephyroth My Computer: AMD 4600+ x2 160GB WD, 2GB RAM. Can't remember my motherboard or my Graphichs card at the moment, but the graphics card is Nvidia 8xxx (8300 or 8600 i think) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89734-hang-on-boot-zephyroth/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
inimicus Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 When your install disc is in the drive, can you allow the "press any key to boot from disc" to timeout and boot Mac OS? If so, you are having a bootloader problem. Look for "Combined_Post_Patch_v0.1.rar" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89734-hang-on-boot-zephyroth/#findComment-640047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaboltman Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 when I put the install CD back in, and I let it go all the way (I dont hit enter, or F8) it starts to load the Mac OS, but I get a white box over the apple with a Circle and a line through it, and it just tries to load.

seaboltman Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 ok so im following the instructions on Combined_Post_Patch_v0.1, but I can't get my flash drive to Mount properly. If I format it using FAT or FAT32 in windows, it wont mount. I tried formatting it using the mac format, and of course it mounted but then windows wouldnt recgonize the disk. (not that I expected it to). Any Advice on what I can do here? edit: Im sure there is a fix for this somewhere, my search just dosent work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89734-hang-on-boot-zephyroth/#findComment-641469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
