atomist Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Okay so I was a bit annoyed that I only had 1 Gateway that I was able to install 10.4.4 on. Every system after that never worked. All the time the boot.plist not found error. So after being really pissed today I took the drive out of the gateway and put it into a compaq. And guess what it booted right up! No problems at all! So I don't understand what is going on. I tried to burn multiply iso's. DVD-R, DVD+R. Different speeds. I have a pile of about 10 disks sitting here in all variations and it only successfully installed on 1 machine, and then when I move the drive it works on the other but I can't install it on 3 other laptops at all. Very strange. Maybe it only will install right under the right "bios" conditions or does it have to do with a bootloader? Very confused right now.

jbjonas Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Which drive are you referring to? The hard drive or the DVD drive? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10137-bootplist-issue/#findComment-63323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomist Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 The harddrive. I took the Harddisk from the Gateway and put it into a Compaq. And it booted just fine. I used the same DVD to install both the Gateway and the Compaq. The Compaq will come back with the error. The gateway just works fine.

Why don't you try doing a restore disk to the compaq's HDD from your Gateway's?
