"Failed to read boot sector from BIOS device 100%. Error=1"

[yoyoman]

I'm up and running 10.6.3, and I have my video and airport working. I am still working on sound and sleep. I am using the DSDT files from this site, modified for my video card.

I made a video just now to record some text that flies by on the screen while booting. It says "Failed to read boot sector from BIOS device 100%. Error=1"

One thing I'll note is that recently the drive icon for my startup disk has changed to an orange drive instead of the usual gray one.

You should check the following:

- BIOS settings as per Tony's blog.
- BIOS version updated lo last one
- DSDT file to last version

If the problem is still there, you can try to install the IOAHCIBlockSorageinjector.kext from Multibeast and see what happens.

I'm running F8 and the latest DSDT. I haven't checked to make sure the BIOS settings match.

I installed SleepEnabler a few days ago, and sleep works now. I also have sound via a USB audio recorder I have. So, I think I'm OK with my setup for now.
