Now I can't get it to boot from the USB drive (5 different ones now) I have tried everything in jakes thread, this one & gleaned from all over the net I tried Mavericks to no avail.

e30cabrio Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Thnaks. I tried repeatedly last night on multiple drives including a 16gb SD card taken from my camera (using an adapter) and all I get now is this Boot0 error. Just tried your new guide same error. Trying again as I type, just said no to MBR going back to 10.8 after several 10.9 attempts.. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30cabrio Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I finally got it going. I had to use MBR on the boot usb disk. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30cabrio Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Install completed after asking questions I did my best to answer (no to one it suggested was the right answer if you have Nvdia and no to one that said choose that if you don't have ECC memory). It boots to invalid partition and then the apple with wheel and sits there I let it sit for more than 10 minutes 2x then tried the choices in boot menu. It goes back to the apple in one & multiple errors in the other. It is currently sitting on the apple screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30cabrio Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I found use -v -x which got me to the choose country dialog but nothing but tab works and when I tab off United States it clears & enter does not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30cabrio Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I let it sit again and came back to just the curser. It moves spastically only with the nub thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 2, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2013 e30cabrio, On your earlier screenshots on the other thread, I see you have windows installed. Did you wipe it out or keeping it as dual boot? If wiping, you should format drive to GPT and Extended Journaled. Did you also set the BIOS as stated on my guide? Note: You don't have to use USB drive as Installer, you could also use external USB HDD or SSD as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30cabrio Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 It had windows and I was trying to install without wiping but have since wiped. It is installed with invalid boot partition and worked minus wifi . I installed Chameleon but still have the boot error. It had touchpad and I ran EDP trying to get wifi and lost touchpad. It's progress but I'll be darned if this is not frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most like you have an Intel Centrino and it's not supported. You need to replace it. Running EDP will not fix it. When you run EDP build, it'll replace your Extra folder and backup the old one on the same directory. If you want to revert back, just run myHack and choose install Extra and point to the backup folder. You should select Yes to remove all 3 kexts when prompt even if you have the nvidia card. Installing Chameleon from myHack to your running OSX (root) should remove the "Invalid Partition Table". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
