moekaz8 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm having some problems installing iATKOs v7 10.5.7 on my hp pavilion dv2818ca, and was wondering if anyone could kindly help me please. I burned the .iso using imgburn, and it burned fine, but then when i boot into it, it says some FreeDOS thing at the beginning and then later at the bottom it says A:/> and when i type E: for the dvd drive, it says its invalid. Any idea how to solve this problem? btw, i made a youtube video about what happens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8AZGPOUzBM once again, any help would be greatly appreciated. btw, I am sort of noobish Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/177448-iatkos-v7-1057-wont-boot-on-hp-pavilion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
xifakex Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Can you post your computers specs? Use Everest Home Edition (google it) to get all the info.

xifakex Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 You seem to have all the things needed to run plus some. I would think you downloaded a faulty version, or you burned the DVD to fast. Try re-downloading or burning the DVD at the slowest possible speed. I got my version here: hxxp://thepiratebay.org Try that out. Do a search for just iATKOs. You should see what your looking for.

Well VMware worked, although very slow, and wifi didnt work, but i still have the same problem with installing iATKOs.
