cyclops25503 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 A few days ago I took delivery of a shiny new Dell Studio 540 PC, and have decided to have a go at running OSx86 on it. Unfortunately, I don't have a retail DVD, all I have is the two DVDs that shipped with my MacBook. Anyway... I downloaded, and burnt BOOT-132 (the BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY version) to a CD-RW and booted off it, then put Disc 1 of the MacBook set in the drive, and booted off it. It went to the grey Apple logo, and didn't move any further. I then tried booting in verbose mode, and it gets this far: Thinking it might be because the CD's tailored for MacBooks, I cloned the MacBook's HDD onto an external USB HDD (thinking that it should resolve the issue of the MacBook specific media...back in the 10.3 days at least, swapping HDDs around between machines, pretty much any OS X install would work on any Mac that supported that version), and tried booting off it with the BootCD. Same issue. Is there any way I can get this working? Its not important...just that I think it'd be cool to have Leopard running on my shiny new PC. For the record, its a Dell Studio 540 Desktop (as mentioned before), with a 2.8 Ghz C2D E7400 (Wolfdale), an Intel P45 chipset, and an ATI Radeon HD 3450.
