leonthelion Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hi Eric, When you say you had the same problem, do you mean it was rebooting or just not progressing to the installer/booting up? Maybe try adjusting the settings in your BIOS for the hard disk/DVD type to AHCI. You may need to set it, reboot, then go into BIOS and check your boot order again. (Windows wont like this, so change it back if you are going to boot Windows later) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/124954-jas-osx-1054-stuck-at-boot-screen/#findComment-896848 Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonthelion Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I'm not sure about how to do the BIOS on that dell. Hopefully there is a utility from Dell, but many recommend against doing anything BIOS related from inside Windows. Best do make a bootable floppy with the BIOS and BIOS flashing utility on it.... Google may help you here.... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/124954-jas-osx-1054-stuck-at-boot-screen/#findComment-896921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
