Mac Forum / General / Hardware / November 2007Broken mac mini after Boot Camp
I tried to install boot camp from leopard yesterday on my intel mac mini Partitioned fine, but I forgot to for format the partition before installing XP so now left with the Disc Error message. Here is the problem. I cannot get the Mini to boot in any other way - holding down C, Option or even the Open Firmware mode does nothing I connect with a Mac usb keyboard. So basically, I now have a nice white stylish paper weight Can any help - im desp Thanks Simon > I tried to install boot camp from leopard yesterday on my intel mac mini > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > I connect with a Mac usb keyboard. I managed to fix the problem ... It all down to the Apple Keyboard - the new flat ones - that apparently only work when logged into Leopard So - I had to use the Front Row remote - hold Menu on boot - that did the trick :D Awesome > It all down to the Apple Keyboard - the new flat ones - that apparently only > work when logged into Leopard It's actually an incompatibility between the keyboard and the mini's firmware, which is what detects startup key presses. See "Booting with new aluminum keyboard" on Apple Discussions. <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5703969> |
