rsmith2904 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 This is my own build, or maybe I should say re-build. I had originally built it for my wife who never used it. It was running Windows 7 when I got fed up with Microsoft and gutted the comouter. Anyway, here's what I've got: Micro ATX case with 550w power supply Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Mobo Onboard graphics & sound AMD FX 6350 Vischera 6 core @3.8ghz 16gb DDR3-1333 WD Red 1TB HD Mod-CD Snow Leopard 10.6.3 Set of installation instructions copied from Hackintosh.com My problem is: I follow the instructions and start with the MOD-CD and when it gets to the part where I swap the mod-cd and insert Snow Leopard, wait for the cd to be recognised by the system, press F5, and here's where it goes goofy. The instructions say when the mod-cd recognizes the OS X disc, press enter and watch the black & white DOS screen until it says press any key to continue, and then swap the mod-cd and OS X disk again, as the system reboots. I do that, and when the system reboots, it doesn't pick up the mod-cd disk and boot from it. Instead, it bypasses any boot disk and goes on to a DOS screen which, at the bottom of the screen says "Verifying DMI Pool Data" and then it stops. Nothing else happens. I read a set of instructions that are basically the same, only it said that after pressing F5, the OS X indication would be there and to select it by clicking on that logo and then hit enter. I don't think that I had a mouse arrow showing, so I also don't think that I could have done that. Anyway, that's where I'm at and would sure like a bit of help to get this done.
