Daveyon Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hello. Im trying to install 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 on my 775Dual-Vista Motherboard. Upon booting the DVD it reaches the apple logo with a spinning wheel in the middle. After a minute a no smoking sign shows up. Any idea of what could cause that? Thanks!

knobi Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I am goig to have a stab here, what other hardware u have attached to the comp? Bluetooth adapter? What did you format your drive as? MBR? GUID? Need more specs mate Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110387-leoprd-on-775dual-vista-fails-y/#findComment-782324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biovital Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Yeah, you need to give way more info than that. You cant possibly expect ppl to help without telling us the rest of your hardware, what version of OSX (retail, Leo4all etc?) you're using. I can say however that I'm typing this from my Leo4all OSX 10.5.2 install and it works great. And my mobo is an ASRock 4core Dual-sata2, which is practically identical to the 775VSTA.

Daveyon Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Ok. I used Kalyway 10.5.2 Intel Leo DVD. Motherboard: 775Dual-Vista with 1GB DDR2 memory. The HDD is formatted as ntfs (IDE). I boot from DVD...goes to the apple white screen with a spinning wheel at the bottom. About a minute after a no smoking sign comes up (a circle with a line). Video card is a agp MSI Geforce 128Mb. PS: If i used a sata hdd..the same problem shows. And no other devices are connected to the mobo.

Daveyon Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Iv now downgraded the bios, thru minipe, to 1.30. I have no OS installed on that HDD. My win xp crashed 1000x99 times now. thats y i decided to go hackintosh ontil i can afford to buy a real 1. Ok.....the same problem still there. A difference is that with the downgrade, the spinning wheel spins n stops, spins n stops then the no smoking sign shows.

knobi Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 dude, sorry for the late reply. You try and format your disk as MBR, Journal option? Try that.
