Allan Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Oh my...just post the basics/most important info...i've already fix this now. You've configured your BIOS? Show us what's the error in -verbose mode. RAM and HDD is not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

in2media Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 bios set by a post i found on osxlatitude site. it was them that advised me to come here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in2media Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 just to be curious i booted of the dvd, pressed f8 then chose usb, just to see if it might throw something useful out. nope sticks on grey apple logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in2media Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 same thing happens with iatkos mountain lion, only reason for going this way is to get lion installed so i can create usb with my drivers pack etc. ive tried using vmware and virtualbox but get errors, now according to google the errors mean pc cant run virtual machine as its not enabled in bios but its all seyt up according to a post ive found showing how to run osx in virtualbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codinger Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I had the same problem with snow leopard. Boot your d520 with external monitor connected and lid closed. Than try to open settings from dock and drag it to external monitor and than deactivate and activate internal display. . Sounds weird but it is actually working .
