Someone Help Me :(

Alright on my second hard drive there are 2 partitions, 1 is the Leopard Mac OS Journaled (HFS+J or something) and the second is FAT for Games.

When I try and boot all I get is a blinking cursor.

Have you made any changes to your installation since you were able to boot successfully?

drumthrasher109 · 01-21-2008

I've never booted into it successfully, except maybe 8 installs ago when I posted 'My Story', since then I've never been able to get it to work.

So after you posted that thread, the install quit working itself?
Or was it something you might have done to make it not boot?

All i can say is make a boot disk and boot DOS, this format drive C:

Ok anyway forget all this, heres the current problem i'm having:

Once i'm at the first-time setup stuff, I type in my username and password I want and click on Continue, but it basically sits there and does nothing. 30 seconds after clicking it, the cursor changes to a rainbow.

It doesn't take 10 minutes to make an account, and making an account it shouldn't sit there long enough to where it turns its harddrive off itself...

Yeah OSx86 is pretty complicated.

It would help if you started by telling us your hardware and witch OSx86 releases you tried. Have you tried Tiger releases too?
