well this is pretty strange I have both 10.5 and 10.6 disks and neither will load the live cd

basically i put the disk in the drive and hit yes boot from cd

it will run through a bunch of code and restart

this happens with both disks!

this is the strangest thing i have ever seen, any ideas?

You can't just boot an OS X retail disk on PC hardware.

You will need to use a boot disk until you install a boot loader to your hard drive.

Use a 10.6.3 retail disk with Nawcom's ModCD

its not retail its been prepatched


i am using the ipc version so in this video



you can see that after he types in -v a bunch of text comes up on the screen as stuff loads

it will say 'starting...' it is at that point that my computer just reboots

do i have incompatible hardware?

Who knows? You didn't post any specs.

oh sorry

dell vostro 3300
core i5 m450
3gb ram
nvidia 310m

is that enough or are there any specific specs that could cause that problem?
