someguy360 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi guys. I have Iatkos 10.5.2 installed on my main computer. Its using the SSE2 & SSE3 kernel + standard bootloader Unfortunately I get the flashing cursor when I try booting off the HDD so I have to use the DVD to boot which is starting to get annoying. Anyone know how to fix this? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90228-how-to-fix-booting-issues/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
khnglh Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Download GPART Live CD and burn it onto a CD. Use it to boot up and select 'Force Vesa' option. hit enter for all prompts and you should see a screen showing your drives. select the one which contains the OS and right click to manage flags and set it to BOOT... exit and reboot.. all should be working now..

S.SubZero Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I've had very good luck booting an XP CD, dropping to a Recovery Console, and running 'fixmbr'.
