luke.m Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 i downloaded the iso and burnt it onto a disc using img burner @ x3 speed , but all these file seem to encounter problems when installing , such as boot sector time out or some sort of I/O error. my process is as follows: i burn the image to dvd boot dvd and then i get darwin bootloader which starts ok it loads the kernels and some other drivers, but after a while i get a timeout error and some other errors. i am not entirely sure of exactly what errors they are but would appreciate some assistance in this matter.

fart pants Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 hello luke If you have windows on a separate hdd then disconnect it from the motherboard and then try installing snow. Reconnect hdd when installation is finished and make sure bios is set to boot from snow hdd first. this works for the chameleon bootloader (i have no idea whats on the hazard disk) sorry, just read your specs. if you are installing on your notebook then you've only got one hdd so this will not work lol Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/205422-unable-to-dual-boot-win7-and-snow_leopard_1061-1062_sse2_sse3_intel_amd_by_hazard/#findComment-1375394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
