SOLVED: I got a retail DVD .....Derrrrrr...

 

Hello,

I need help...Where am I going wrong?

 

I am installing OSX SL via USB installer(myHack [http://osx86.sojugarden.com/installer/]) and I get the disc to load and I get to the infamous "Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer. restore or restart"

 

I have tried the the Empire EFI = same result

" chameleon = same result

I do have the bios set to AHCI

 

My rig is a factory setup Gateway dx4822 :

I got it to work on a similar set up with iatkos v4a look for it

 

Isn't that Leopard. Christopher A. Moore is talking about Snow Leopard.

 

IMO its a good way to install SL if you have access to a Mac or Hack and a 8GB flash card or external hard drive.

 

Looks like from that error that the instructions were not followed. The myhack.pkg was not applied to the the USB drive after restoring the OS X disc/image to the the USB drive.

I am installing SL, Dellmantt, Can you confirm that SL worked with your option?

I do believe I followed the instructions to the "t" and I did indeed install the myHack.pkg.... any Specific solutions?

Yes I can confirm that using myhack worked on a Gateway (not sure what model but it was SSE3). Used my optiplex hack to set up the installer on a external USB drive. Used Chocolate Kernel both for the Installer USB and the install to the Gateway. Don't have access to that computer anymore, so can't tell you what other options were picked,sorry.
