tonig2593 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 hey daveta thanks for your reply! I didn't choose anything, I partitioned the hard drive and I inserted the DVD of the mac os and booted it from the boot selection menu while start up then it says press any key bla bla bla I press a key from the keeyboard it says loading darwin/x86 and the thing starts spinning and then just nothing it restarts , I tried verbose mode as well but at one point it stops and restarts, tried the same ISO on VM Ware still the same results... except for the grey screen with the apple logo (it appears on vm ware but it restarts after that...) :S I'm sorry cause I don't know allot on pc's Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207926-pc-restarts-before-installing-mac-os/#findComment-1388931 Share on other sites More sharing options...
