consume Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Well i installed iatkos on my second drive, which shows up as disk0 in leopard and disk1 in windows. So now i have windows vista on my first disk and on my second disk i installed leopard. Problem is, when i try to boot from the second disk with leopard, i dont see the darwin boot or anything actually. All i see is the blinking underscore so i have to reboot. My second drive is set to "3rd slave" in my bios because anything else i change the jumpers too doesnt work. So can somebody tell me why that disk with leopard wont boot? I kno wthere are files on ther ebecause on my windows vista drive, i partitioned the drive to install a 7gb leopard os on there and in this os i can see my other drive with all the leopard files. I can even open up applications from that drive. So my question is, why cant i boot from this drive but i can view files on it through leopard?

kennyp Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hi, The blinking underscore is the BIOS wanting to boot an inactive disk. Book with your Leoperd DVD, press F8 At the Boot: prompt type -s to boot single user mode. When you get to the prompt type: fdisk -e /dev/rdisk1 (if osx is on your 2nd drive) active 1 (if osx is on the first partition of the drive) update write quit reboot This will set the partition active for disk1s1, which is the second drive first partition.
