Hi,

I need assistance with my old Optiplex GX280.

I searched for a osx86 solution instead of using windows xp as the orginal os is.

The Computer have a cd drive and not a dvd drive. Will not boot from external dvd either.

So what I did was that I plugged the GX280 harddrive to an other Dell computer. A Dell Optiplex 755 and installed OSX iPC 10.5.6 with the instruktions here. http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph..._Optiplex_GX280.

 

After installation I did move the HDD back to the GX280.

The drive will not boot in normal mode..but can go in if i type in -v in the bootloading.

 

Since all the hardware was new to it I did a repairpermission for the disc. But there is allot of problems:

 

*It boots up in -v mode but not normal.

*I repaired Disc permissions since it had allot of permission errors cause of the hdd move.

*I forgot to add additional language translation so It is in English. (need to add swedish afterwards)

*The "about this mac" got wrong information. It says 4 GHz Intel core Solo. I think it is less then 3, perhaps 2. I forgot to write it down.

*The ram says to be 512 mb, but it is 1Gb ram in abouth this mac.

* I can't get more information regarding the mac since System profiler crashes.

* Ethernet is not working. Solved.

* Sound is not working. Solved

 

 

I would like to fix these problems.

Can you guys help out? Or do I need to make a iPC bootable USB drive and reinstall osx?
