JustinR Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 So I have my bootable usb drive made my myhack... have my two partitioned drives, I go to install and the apple logo shows up for a few seconds then it reboots :/ tried a bunch of different flags but to no avail. No idea what to do. I went from the forums in unifail to here because no one was able to help plus I couldn't find any information... This seems like the perfect forum....I have a Dell inspiron 17" 7000 series 7737 ... haswell, Intel 4400 graphics, 750 gb, i5-4200U... hopefully someone can help me get past that instant reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted October 31, 2013 Administrators Share Posted October 31, 2013 What's in the Chameleon boot plist of your USB installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinR Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hmm, how would I find that? I'm assuming the most recent version though Update: I think this is it.. it's called "org.chameleon.Boot.plist" is that what you were referring to?

JustinR Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 To clarify, when you say list the contents, you mean to list what's inside the file? I only ask cause I don't want to open the file and mess up my system. Sorry I'm being so careful, last night I accidentally installed something I was supposed to install to my usb, onto the desktop of my friends mac and when it rebooted, totally wiped everything! Thank God i had this usb drive, i was able to reinstall to his mac. So I'm sure everything is up to date if it installed on his mac, right?

JustinR Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 I've done that already, still automatically reboots. There's no info given either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
