dat_geezer Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 What are your boot options? Can you select which device to boot? EG, with mine, i can press F12 to boot from device, but every BIOs will differ.

dat_geezer Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Have you managed to solve this problem? I'm curious as to why it's restarting all the time. Do you see any installation instructions? eg: does a page allow you to press F8 and enter command line instr? M.

michael.su Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 What install disc are you using? are you trying a retail install or a hacked dvd? (ex.iPC,Kalyway,iDeneb etc.) if it was a downloaded image, did you check the MD5 checksum to make sure the image was not corrupt before burning? does the computer boot other install discs fine? Windows, Linux, BSD whatever... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/219186-cant-boot-dvd-of-os-x/#findComment-1483815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
