deDante Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 hi all, just wanna share this simple installation method, it’s been 23hours since I run it and didn't find any freezing problem until now. system : - X2 555BE unlock to X4 B55 - Vaikoo VA-880G - MSI GTX460 Hawk tools : - new bios for Vaikoo VA-880G - download Nawcom ModCD - Snow Leopard Retail DVD - download [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (I use v3.7.0) - download Mac OS X 10.6.7 Combo Update - download AboutThisMac Fix installation : - boot with Nawcom ModCD - eject Nawcom ModCD and insert Snow Leopard Retail DVD then press F5 - choose OSX86 Installer - and go to install notes : * on the installation screen open Utility -> Disk Utility * partition your hard drive to GUID (but Nawcom ModCD would allow you using MBR Partition to install Retail) * format your partition to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) * close Disk Utility wait for atleast 25minutes ‘til the installation complete, then RESTART!!! - eject Snow Leopard Retail DVD and insert Nawcom ModCD - boot with Nawcom ModCD - Start Mac OS X - complete some registrations and settings - and VOILA you get your first Mac OS X desktop, CONGRATULATION!
