Foxic Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseincats Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 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?
