The chances are someone already has run into the problems you have and gotten the answers you need. Now, first google "osx x86 wiki" and check for any systems similar to yours. This will give you an idea of what to expect. Next obtain a retail copy of Snow Leopard. Third, research Empire EFI for the install procedure. Good Luck!

johnklutsliveson Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 No problem, Is the copy of Snow Leopard you have retail? If so what are you using to launch it?
