Re: MDD Boot Problem
- Original Message - From: Jörg Duurkoop yaw...@gmail.com Humm, that could be the problem. The QuickSliver monitor was attached to the VGA port. The MDD has no VGA port and that same monitor was attached to the MDD DVI port. The monitor is an old Dell with both VGA and DVI ports. You could always try a safe boot if you have an Apple monitor with an ADC connector. With a safe boot the main monitor will always be on the ADC monitor. That is if your MDD has an Apple video card ... Be warned a long reply follows: [Just to recap, a newly acquired MDD boots fine on an old test hard drive called Mac OSX but refuses to boot to a different hard drive (Drive 1) on a cloned volume a from a QuickSilver which I want to be the main volume.] I connected an ADC Apple display to to the MDD as Jörg suggested. I selected Drive 1 as the boot drive, and in safe mode the MDD booted to Mac OS X and asks for the password for the user in Drive 1, when entered it boots to Drive 1. THIS IS THE DESIRED RESULT! However, It seems odd that when Drive 1 was selected as boot drive Mac OS X comes up in single user mode and asks for the password of the user in Drive 1?? Once booted in Drive 1 in safe mode a restart results in the dreaded blue screen as reported earlier. Not the desktop blue screen just a plain light blue with no variations in blue tones or swirls as in the default desktop of 10.4.11. So now I don't think it is second monitor problem preference problem. (see earlier posts). Perhaps as suggested in an earlier post, Disk Warrior may solve the problem. I know Disk Warrior is great to have in your toolbox. But given Disk Warrior cost more than I paid for the MDD, I will likely just do an Achieve and Install of 10.4 as suggested in another post and hope that solves this weird problem. This in not a production machine so time is relative but dollars are not. :-) Next and hopefully final question before I do a reinstall -- when Drive 1 becomes the boot drive in safe mode why does a restart results in the dreaded blue screen? If I can get a boot to Drive1 what is preventing boot on a restart?
