riahc3 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 First PC is problably because it doesnt support SSE2 but Ill post the screenshot anyways: I boot up my PC from DVD and I says "Press any key to install Mac OSX...." I press it. Then it loads and displays this: I restart my computer but same thing happens. Ive tried letting the countdown expire, without DVD, etc etc. Doesnt work Second PC is a P4 so it has the neccesary intructions and its pretty well equipted. What happens it boots up ok with the "Press any key to install Mac OSX..." I press any key and my screen becomes "Apple-white" with the Apple logo in the center. During this time no DVD reading occurs and the my HD light stays on all the time and it stays there forever. I know what problably wrong with the first one but the second one I dont understand. Any help would be appriciated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14710-2-installations-on-2-different-computers-both-failed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your DVD? You will also need to partition you drive for OSX86, it will not work with only 1 NTFS partition.

spclffred Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 ok what im going to tell everyone is a temp fix! FOR AMD PPL- When customizing the installation, only choose AMD bundle and and sse2 instead of sse3! FOR INTEL PPL- When customizing the installation, Chose sse2 instead of sse3!
