Trying to make a PXE install

Hi, I want to learn how to make a PXE install and  I am using Virtualbox for that.
I read the wiki but I can't make it work.
I think the mistake is in my dhcp config file. See:
#option definitios common to all supported networks...
option domain-name "example.org";
option domain-name-servers ns1.example.org, ns2.example.org:
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
#Use this to enable / disable dynamic dns updates globally
ddns-update-style none;
#if this DHCP server is the official DHCP server for the local
#network, teh authoritative directive should be uncommented
authoritative;
#Use this to send dhcp log messages to a different log file
log-facility local7;
#No service will be given on this subnet, but declaring it helps the
#DHCP server to understand the network topology.
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
allow bootp;
filename "pxelinux.0";
next-server 192.168.0.1
#This is a very basic subnet declaration
subnet 10.254.239.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
range 10.254.239.10 10.254.239.20;
option routers rtr-239-0-1.example.org, rtr-239-0-2.example.org;

option broadcast-addres 10.254.239.31;
option routers rtr-239-32-1.example.org;
#a slightly different configuration for an internal subnet
subnet 10.5.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 {

option routers 10.5.5.1;
option boradcast-address 10.5.5.31;

Any idea?
Thanks

Also, it's possible he has a bad drive. If he's been experiencing issues, and it's culminated in an unbootable machine, it could be a hardware failure, rather than a bad OS X install. If Disk Utility, Safe Boot, and fsck/fsck_hfs can't sort out his drive, it might be best to haul it to an Apple Store to have them inspect its components (unless you want to invest in something like Disk Warrior ⇪ first).

    And what is the deal with the PreUSBBooSupportedModels stuff?

    Your computer isn't compatible with the option to install Windows through a USB drive. "PreUSBBootSupportedModels" have a list of the Macs which can't install Windows through a USB drive, and as you can see, there's a "iMac12,2" which belongs to the Mid 2011 27-inch iMac.
    If you want to make a Windows 7 USB drive, change "iMac12,2" by another iMac like "iMac11,1", so you will be able to create a Windows 7 USB drive. However, you won't be able to install Windows through a USB drive, because it's restricted by firmware and you can't do anything

    *unselected "Sync music" from the appropriate tab. And iTunes warned: if you do this, we will delete every playlist and song on your iPod*
    To change to manually managing an iPod you don't "unselect" sync music, you "select" manually manage songs and videos. If you want to delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod you need to change the update option of your iPod by checking the box beside "manually manage songs and videos" in the Summary tab and clicking Apply. Your iPod will not sync with iTunes in this mode so it can have different content, you can get details here:
    Managing content manually on iPod
    iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
    One major word of caution. If you delete songs or videos from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up anything you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD: How to back up your media in iTunes
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod
    I don't have any TV shows so I can't speak from experience here but looking at the TV tab it appears you can only sync shows, there's no manually manage option. Syncing would require that you keep the shows on your computer otherwise they would be removed from the iPod the next time you syncronised with iTunes.

  • I am trying to do a clean install MacBook Pro

    I am trying to do a clean install on my Dad's older MackBook Pro. He downloads things he shouldn't and after frustrations trying to wipe ou trojans and bad files I just decided that the only way to make this thing work again is to clean install it. It was already running yosemite when I started.
    I followed the directions at
    www.osxdaily.com/2014/10/18/clean-install-os-x-yosemite/
    I used a flash drive to install os x yosemite installer and made it bootable per the instructions on the site.
    Everything seemed to work fine, I loaded the drive as the statup disk, I erased the partitions and the hard drive with disk utitilies using the installer flash drive.
    However when I try to start to Install Os X it runs for about 10 minutes and then gets stuck at "one second left" I accessed the log errors and got this

    Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
    Do a backup,  preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

    depends on how old your Mac is ...

  • Trying to make a clone backup of my internal HD but my iMac no longer recognizes my external HD.

    Short story: I am trying to make a clone of my internal drive using Super Duper! but the 3 TB La Cie external hard drive I want to copy to isn't being recognized by finder or in disk utility. The external hard drive is powered and attached to the desktop via firewire cable. It was properly formatted and made one seemingly successful backup prior to this attempt.
    Specs: I have a 27 in iMac with 2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, purchased in late 2009. Running Mac OS 10.6.8 with 8GB RAM.  I have a 2 TB internal HD with only 80 GB available.
    Background: I've had few if any problems with this computer but I'm running out of disc space. It's getting a little sluggish and I find that I am force quitting iPhoto more often than I used to. I was getting ready to put a long overdue (less labor intensive) backup plan in place. I had been using DVDs to back up photos and some documents. My computer crashed last week while working in iPhoto. The screen was speckled and banded and I could not restart.  I was able to boot in safe mode and run disk utility. The verification stopped (corrupted files found) and disk utility recommended repair.  I did a safe mode back up with time machine to the 3 TB ext HD. I tried unsuccessfully to run safe mode with networking to attempt online backup with Crashplan. I read something about installing mac os x on ext HD and then dragging files over to it, but DVD player not functional in safe mode. Then I called Apple support to run what I had done by them and to ask for advice before running disk repair.  We tried a PRAM reset but still couldn't restart in normal mode. He said my safe mode backup should be good and to run the repair, restore if necessary and if that doesn't work bring it to Apple for hardware testing.  I read somewhere that PRAM resets need to be done with a USB (not wireless) keyboard so I tried again doing a few PRAM/NVRAM resets.  No change. Later, maybe even the next day, the screen which had been banded and speckled looked normal again. Not sure why but happy.  I restarted successfully. I ran a time machine backup in normal mode to a 5 TB external HD and wanted to make a bootable clone of my mac HD to the 3 TB ext HD (in place of the safe mode backup). The computer crashed again for a little while and I was eventually able to restart. I downloaded Super Duper! but my mac no longer sees the 3 TB external drive. Maybe I did something wrong when I changed drives in time machine for the last backup?  I'm guessing I could crash again at any moment and would love to get this clone made.

    Yes. Formatted correctly. It' s new ext HD and I made a the first back up on it a few days ago using time machine while my computer was in safe mode. When I was able to restart my computer normally I quickly set up a time machine backup to my larger 5 TB ext drive. Also new and formatted for my mac. I was in a rush to get it going before I left for work so maybe I did something wrong. IDK. I can't remember but it did ask me about switching drives vs setting up. Although I don't see why the computer wouldn't see the drive.
    I did try another firewire cable and no change. Checked connections again.  The HD turns on and the blue light comes on  (it's a La Cie d2 quadra deskdrive)
    Is the SMC reset where you detach devices and restart?  My printer, keyboard and mouse are all wireless and right now I don't have anything else connected.
    I'll try another PRAM reset too.
    *  Question:
    When I connect the 3 TB drive it starts up but I don't see it on my desktop, finder sidebar or in disk utility. If a hard drive starts up but doesn't show up on your computer how do you safely shut it down before disconnecting?  I've been clicking on the desktop and then pressing the eject button on my keyboard just in case.

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?

  • Help Please! Trying to do a clean install of Snow Leopard on a new drive

    I'm trying to help a family member with his Mac Mini.
    He installed a new HD and we're trying to do a clean install of Snow Leopard from the DVD. I've tried booting to the DVD by holding the C key during boot up and that does nothing. I've tried mounting his HD on my Macbook and installing that way and that doesn't work either.
    How do I install this if you don't have an OS on you drive to boot up to?

    Is it possible to load the OS onto the Mini from my Macbook? I can see the installation DVD and the HD on the mini from my Macbook, but when I try to install I get a warning that it can't be installed on that volume.
    It's been a while since I tried something like that, but it worked in the past. It may be complaining because the partition table is not set correctly.
    I couldn't find anything about installing on another drive. I did find this old [MacFixIt article|http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10329087-263.html] that you might find useful if you've got an external drive. Essentially, you partition it (not necessary for what you want), make an image of the Installer and then restore the image to the external drive. You can then use that drive as the boot drive. That was for Leopard, so I don't know if it will work.

    Next when I switched to Windows, It should the classic error, No Bootable device found, please insert a Bootable CD and press any key. When I tried to enter my Mac OS X install DVD and by pressing option key, it does not show me the proper Mac OS X development volume. It keeps going back to the No bootable device found message.
    Any help will be much appreciated

    you can't add a partition in between - you put Windows to a new partition number.
    GPT (GUID)
    EFI
    Mac HFS
    Lion Recovery
    Windows
    And now you have two HFS
    One partition and one Windows (plus Lion Recovery).
    If you were to have more, it can't be before Windows for one thing.

  • How do you make a bootable install partition from a disk image of an install disk.

    I have an iMac g4 running Leopard and would like to install OS X 10.3 on a different partition Leopard is on. However the super drive in the iMac will not read the disk I have, so I used my MacBook Pro to make a disk image of the install disk to use to install on the iMac. I do not know how to make the disk image into a bootable partition so I can install 10.3. The person I bought it from has already created a partition of the Leopard install disk and it is bootable but I do not know how he did this. Please help me. Thanks!

    Could be the cd is bad.  Could be a bad cd reader.
    I' not sure what you are trying to do. 
    To install,
    --  you need to boot from a cd. 
    -- copy a working installation from another partition. try carbon-copy-cloner
    -- could try target disk mode.  There is a cd sharing mode.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
