Hugo Guerreiro Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hi everyone, Im not a noob in osx and i had an old P4 socket 478 that had leopard perfectly working. But i thought it was time to give myself an upgrade and so i did. But i made the terrible mistake of buying AMD. I cant even boot from the installation dvd of leopard. Tried them all...and i really mean ALL. Please. Some help would be greatfull. I will leave my current specs and an image of what is hapening.

VooD Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 You are right, you made a HUGE mistake by buying AMD. Anyway, here's a trick, install from an usb dvd drive. That worked for me in an old x2 4200, but anyway I had to use at least 4 different versions of tiger/leopard till I was able to get a booting system. If you are really insterested on OS X, you should think about selling your computer and buy something intel based (including an intel chipset with AHCI capabilities) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111150-i-will-give-up/#findComment-787396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo Guerreiro Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks for the tip VooD. Will it work if it is a USB Flash drive? Thanks for your reply.

VooD Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thanks for the tip VooD.Will it work if it is a USB Flash drive? Thanks for your reply. You need an usb dvd drive (is obviosly not posible to use an usb flash drive for installing, since you need the data to be set in a dvd structure) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111150-i-will-give-up/#findComment-793529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
