Error gpt boot fixed

[clbna]

Hi,

Here's what I did to fix the boot 0 error.

First you have to copy the Boot1h file on the installation flash drive key
This file can be found in Chimera.pkg: usr->standalone->i386
(EDIT) You will need a small program called Unpkg and drag your chimera file on the unpkg. That will make a folder on your desktop with the pacakge files in it.

Then boot on the USB drive, Go to disk utility and Unmount your OSX drive.

Run terminal and type these commands:

cd /Volumes/"name of your USB drive" dont forget the space between cd and /
if your USB drive is named USB then you should type cd /Volumes/USB

this will change the directory you're working on.

then type:

dd if=boot1h of=/dev/"name of your disk"

the name of the disk should be something like disk0s2. Check in disk utility/info on the drive.

You should have a message like this :

2+0 records in
2+0 records out
1024 bytes transferred in 0.752319 secs (1361 bytes/sec)

That means you're ok to reboot normally.

Thanks!
Will this erase the disk?

No this will just replace the boot sector file causing problems.

Hi there, im having this boot0 problem and attempting to use your fix.
one question: how do i access the file u specified above? the i386 one.
i cant see any "show contents" option on the chimera.pkg

thanks!

You can have acces to "show package contents when you right click on the file.
A menu will unfold.

Thanks for the reply.
As you can see from the attached image, i don't have the "show package contents" option as normal (

Oh sorry

You will need a small additional program called UNPKG.

This will make a folder on your desktop with all the package contents in, then you should find the Boot1h file that you will drag on your USB key (root)
