huskerphile Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I tried twice to make the myHack install disk last night and it failed. One on a Mac VM and the other on a MacBook pro, both with OS X versions downloaded directly from the Mac App store. The program starts fine, and starts writing the initial files (~1000 MB of data) to the drive. About halfway through, the write stops, myHack reports that ~500 out of ~480 MB have been copied (104%) it then continues to try and make the disk with several chdir error messages. The program states that it completed succesfully, but the USB drive won't function at boot. The system outputs two lines of text: boot 1 or boot 0 and a spinning cursor and then hangs.

Try a different flash drives. I've had defective ones do that in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suerte Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 nearly the same here, last night i tried to install mavericks using your guide and everything looks great till i booted from usb stick. i only get this prints on my consol right after the selection of my mac boot stick: boot0:GPT boot0:GPT boot0:GPT boot0:done Then nothing happens and i saw that the usb stick isn't loading anything. I also got the 104% of loading. I also tried the MBR copying method, but still the same. Do i have to format my old drive to a special format or something like that?

ABQJohn Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Another GREAT guide, patel4prez! I did it on two e6410's yesterday, worked great. I DID get the 104% notice, too. One question, though: In the guide, under "Creating the Installer", step one says "Make sure your Mountain Lion copy is in the Applications folder on your working Mac/Hackintosh". I assume you meant Mavericks copy, not Mountain Lion copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABQJohn Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 @ABQJohn do you installed it from scratch ? did you copy the MBR files to your installation stick? which format did your hard drive got? fat32 / ntfs ? Yes, from scratch. No, did not copy the MBR files Formatted the drive per the main section instructions - Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with GUID (same as he listed in his Mountain Lion Guide).

Regards Try booting from the USB stick and selecting the new install. If you get a KP, use the -x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npolite Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Does anyone have the Wifi and Ethernet drivers? I tried using the Extra folder from https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/3112-e6410-mavericks-guide/ but it isn't working for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suerte Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Yes, from scratch. No, did not copy the MBR files Formatted the drive per the main section instructions - Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with GUID (same as he listed in his Mountain Lion Guide). i meeant the hard drive, not the usb stick. i had formated the stick in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Format. Try booting from the USB stick and selecting the new install. If you get a KP, use the -x. i still booted from usb stick but the online thing displayed are the boot0:GPT ... things, no keyboard interaction were possible anymore. What did you mean with KP?
