silentbob1978 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hi sorry about this guys/gals I have just downloaded kalyway 10.5.1 OSX and I am trying to install it. When I boot the disk I get the prompt to press F8 or press enter to boot. I have been pressing enter and the disk drive starts accessing and I get the grey screen with the apple logo on it. THis does not seem to change (ive waited approx 15 mins each time) and the drive stops accessing although the ywirly think below the apple logo keeps spinning.. Is there something else I need to do. I have a HP DC 7800 with 2gb of ram. I am new to this and have been searching the forum for the past hour and a half with no joy on any hints that would help me. Sorry if this is an easy fix but I cant seem to find anyone who has had this issue. thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117495-im-sure-this-has-been-asked-before/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poco Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Check your hardware against the hardware compatibility list. Then if all seems fine I would try and use iAtkos or maybe Leo4all. iPoco Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117495-im-sure-this-has-been-asked-before/#findComment-832433 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this is an easy fix but I cant seem to find anyone who has had this issue. thanks Try with -X, it may work, if you want to download another version try Pirate bay, if you post your HP specs it would be much easier to advise you another version, processor, graphic card, etc...
