Zarar K Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I have a custom build pc: Motherboard: nForce 680 SLI Videocard: Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT Sound: Realtek HD Audio Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 RAM: 2GB Im a new to all of this and tried installing kalyway, I can't get passed "formatting" my HD. Any suggestions on how to properly do this, I would EXTREMELY appreciate it considering iv been trying to do this for SEVERAL months on and off loosing hope of running Mac. Btw I have a SATA HD I believe by "Western Digital" I have a retail copy of Mac OS X Tiger original DVD. Is there a way to use that disc to do a clean legit install, maybe with a little tweaking?

You have an nForce MOBO so cannot install a vanilla system i.e. use a non-modified retail DVD to install.......see my Pre-Series 7 nForce chipset topic and my blog install guides......

Zarar K Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 So what if I have an original DVD of OS X Tiger? Is there a way to install it because my only problem is that I can't get a hold of iAtkos DVD, and ofcourse I know its illegal to post sources of download.

Buy yourself a copy of Leopard OS X, in which case you will still be supporting Apple and OS X development.......and hopefully at some point buy a real Mac.......in the meantime......

Zarar K Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 I can definately purchase the OS X Leopard, the question is when I purchase it what adjustements have to be made because as far as im aware I cant just boot up the original disc and install it.
