Paintball24 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Alright, I used the tiger-x86.tar guide for trying to install OSx86, but it didn't seem to work. --------------------- Intel P4 2.8Ghz 1GB RAM 70GB HD (C:\) 120GB HD (D:\) --------------------- Alright, I followed the guide exactly to the "try to boot with Darwin" part. (By the way, What the hell is Darwin?) So, I (have a Dell) tried to boot from the D:\ drive, but it nothing would happen. No Darwin stuff, nothing. And to make matters worse (lol, like they could...) Windows doesn't recognize that my D:\ drive even exists. (After the failed boot) I never did anything physically to my PC, like switch the HDs or anything, only tried to boot from D:\. Any ideas? ------------------- Any help is greaty appreciated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13617-booting-problems-omg/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paintball24 Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Anyone? I'll try formatting the D Drive, (It had some files on it before I tried to install OSx86 to it) Maybe that was the problem. I'll get back to you soon. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Well...I can't format. (haha, I feel like killing someone). Remember, (duh), my computer can't remember that the D Drive exists. (Ha) Please, omg, can someone help me?!?

Paintball24 Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Alright, UPDATE: I was just searching around in the wiki when I came across a guy with my same PC, Dell Deminsion 4600. I said he physically switched the hard drives. (Not just tried to boot from D) So, I took his advice. Lo and behold, it works. w00t! The boot up is low and the operating system seems so and I can't connect to the Internet, but I'm working on those things now. Thanks. :censored2: From now on, I'm using this topic. http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=13686 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13617-booting-problems-omg/#findComment-87054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akshunhiro Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Oh man, you are so so lost... PUT DOWN OS X X86 and stick to Windows... Sorry, you have to be cruel to be kind... I just don't wanna see you post down the track saying 'My OS X won't boot after doing the security updates' For now, Microsoft is your friend.
