mwilloam Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I've found a bunch of posts related to this board but and have followed a few install guides such as: http://lifehacker.com/5360150/install-snow...acking-required http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...248&st=1760 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;mode=threaded My system is made up of: EP43-UD3L E3200 10.6 Snow Leopard retail disc Asus EN 8400 GS 320g Sata LG Dvdr 550w psu I'm using my current computer, a powerbook G4 with 10.4.11, to prep the USB install drive. What I've done so far is: 1. Made image of Snow Lep disc 2. Restored image to my Sandisk Cruzer 8gig USB drive (formatted at 1 partition with GUID) 3. Run the patch software Snow Bootloader, Kakewalk and even the EP45UD3P package. Each separate tries. 4. Adjusted BIOS according to what the guides suggested (I think I have version 6) 5. Start up PC, making sure the SanDisk is the 1st boot drive and I can't get past "Verifying DMI Data Pool .... Update Success" Where am I going wrong or what am I leaving out? Each one of these guides seems pretty straight forward so I'm surprised to not be able to get to at least the install sequence. I'd really appreciate as much help as possible to get this thing up and running ASAP. Thanks.

Make sure the floppy disk is set to "none", also make sure your DVD is first boot option and in sata port 0 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/213944-ep43-ud3l-no-success-with-retail-install-need-help/#findComment-1436141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilloam Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Found a few more tutorials that cleared things up. Have it working close to 100%. Not sure about sleep/shutdown/boot stuff but graphics sound and lan all seem good along with the price $350.

Hi there, So you have your iAtkos v7 running right? Just use it to install your retail DVD to another partition on your Mac drive.
