DEFKT Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 hi there, i am new here so ill say a big hello to everyone and want to also say what great work you are doing. ok, so i am having major issues with windows XP and vista for music production so i thought i'd take the plunge and go hackymac :-D. so i have 3 dvds burnt off. 1 original osx tiger 10.4, 1 osx tiger (not sure on where it came from) and obviously kalyway 10.4.10. my specs for pc....... Packard Bell iMedia X2416 * Intel® Core 2 Quad Q8200 processor (4x2.33GHz) * 1333MHz FSB, 4MB Cache (Motherboard is a ECS Denver 11, Nvidia 630i chipset i do believe) * 4GB DDR2 667MHz memory * 250GB SATA Hard Drive Western Digital (7200rpm) for System use, currently running Windows Vista® Home Premium,but want to use this for OSX * 640GB SATA Hard Drive Western Digital (7200rpm) for my Samples, Song files and multimedia content. * Nvidia GeForce 7300 LE PCI Express (with NVIDIA® GeForce® 7100 onboard graphics also, not in use!) * Dual Layer SATA DVD Rewriter (Optiarc) * 18-in-1 media card reader * 6x USB ports (2x front, 4x rear) * Realtek HD RT888 Audio - (On Board) * Nvidia HD HDMI Audio and Video - (On Board) * Realtek RTL8101 Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) - (On Board) * M-Audio Delta 2496 Audiophile PCI Sound Card * Microsoft Laser 5000 Mouse and Keyboard (USB Wireless) * Belkin F5D8053 N Wireless USB Adapter Ok, so now you know what i got, here is my problem! So my bios has obviously been restricted due to being a OEM board configured by Packard Bell. So SATA is set to AHCI, and the rest i cant really adjust. I place DVD in drive, boots from DVD, prompted to hit enter to install or F7 (I think) to choose boot options. So i hit enter, and few lines of code come up and then it reboots. It does this with all 3 DVDs. Why???? Is it because i am installing Tiger? and older OSX...... Is there any where i can get a copy of 10.5 Leopard??? Will this work? This is frustrating and bloody annoying as i really want this to work! Any help will be great. I am on AOL Instant Messenger aswell if anyone who can help as I am on there most of the time, but i will keep checking back. AIM= defktdnb Thank you for your time.
