I installed the new 10.5.2 dvd on an extra 80 maxtor disk as 1 partition with the name 'Leopard"
i formatted as MBR and select the mbr bootloader. but when i am done and boot up i get a blinking cursor. and yes the partition is set to active. so i go ahead and manually install the bootloader and efi v8. so now i can select from the boot loader but the os only gives like 5 lines and doesnt finish loading. Please Help, Microsoft Whiz |

Did you create a fresh partition and format any existing data?

1. Reflash the bios and/or clear the CMOS
2. I had another HP pavillion with an nforce chipset that would cause a blinking cursor because (for some reason) it was trying to boot from a USB flash disk 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean. Free credits ($100) for InfMac readers. |
