blue_misfit Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Try pushing F8 when you see the Darwin loader screen, and typing in -v and then pushing enter. This will boot the installer in "verbose" mode and will at least give you some hint as to how to proceed. ~MiSfit Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/162299-noob-needs-help-on-installing-osx/#findComment-1134196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
