I just installed OSX on my PC, and the installation went fine, but now when I restart after installation, it won't boot. I tried installing twice. I assume it's a boot loader problem. How can I fix it?

Thanks.

Bump.

Thanks.

Sorry but you have not provided enoug information i.e. what exactly is the screen saying? is it stopping during boot etc....no one can help with the amount of info you have provided

A little more information would help, but I'm making some guesses:

1. It doesn't even attempt to boot OSX.
The disk you added osx on isn't the boot disk in your bios.
2. You boot and get the darwin and then it appears to be running:
You need verbose mode on to see what the error is. If you press F8 before darwin starts, it will give you a prompt. Type "-v" (without the quotes) and press the return.
You should see a bunch of info pass through the screen and where it stops or reboots is where your problem is.

How can I make the harddisk the boot drive ?
within the bios I have already done it but there is only a blinking cursor and nothing happens.
Pleas help !

Make sure you hard shut down. that is shut down, and switch the power supply unit off for a second or two. then start up , enter the bios, set defrault settings and try agian. it should work now. experiment with bios settings (saving each one).

good luck

i am having the same problem.. i'm not even trying to dual boot, just a fresh install on a single HD.. i'm using an AMD w/ SSE2

all i get is a blinking cursor, any ideas at all?
