kidd6677 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi Guys, i've been at this for a while and have been searching the forums but no luck. I have tried many burns of Grub DFE iso but when the cd boots i just get a GNU Grub screen and doesn't go to Darwin.. it just gives me a grub> prompt. The next thing i tried was Boot 123 which loaded Darwin and I was able to start the OSX installer (retail dvd 10.5). It gets past the grey screen and changes to the colorful Leopard purple screen but just sits there with a spinning color wheel. I don't even get to the format the hd option. What am I doing wrong? I have changed both settings in the BIOS to AHCI. Am I missing a setting? I'm using the yellow SATA connectors on the MB. Machine: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 Geforce 8400GS 512MB 2 GB Ram 500 GB SATA Hd USB DVDROM Leopard Retail 10.5 Any help is greatly appreciated.
