Catastr0phe Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Well I used to be all up with installing OS X back in the Tiger days. I left that for a couple of years and now my curiosity has brought me back. I'm running an HP Pavillion Elite M9350F, and trying to install Snow Hazard. The problem is, I cannot boot into the installation, as it just flashes the 'darwin' text for a second with the loading '/' rotating around, then automatically reboots. Rinse. Wash. Repeat. After looking around, I'v seen that it might be that I need to enable AHCI in my BIOS settings. Big problem, I don't have that option. M9350F Specifications: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...cname=c01469329 Hope to get this solved and get back in the scene, so I can possibly help others that were in my situation now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, I actually just realized I am in fact using Snow Hazard. I tried booting with the said params, however I still ended up with the same results. Any other tricks up your sleeve?

I would jump on an go ahead and do that, however, my BIOS does not give me that option. Still stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
