sumobritches Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Ok, I have an i7-920 with an Ex58-UD5 mobo and it currently has Windows 7 on it, LEGAL and all (so i don't feel like losing my license key) and I don't have access to a Mac. I tried Digital Dreamer's method back when I had a Mac at work...it never ran good. Now I am out of a job and need to do freelance video editing (FCP) and I need to get this running badly... I just now attempted Kakewalk, however the OEM DMG file of the Snow Leopard Disc either didn't burn perfect or something and it wouldn't boot following Kakewalk's guide. And I even went as far and used "TransMac" for burning it too! Now I have a Verbatim coaster...and I am running out of them quick. This was attempt #2 using Kakewalk. I need help guys and girls. I feel like pulling my hair out this is so frustrating. If anyone could point me in the right direction and it work, I will seriously tip you $20 via paypal. Thanks so much.

stefuNz Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 did you try [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] or myhack? you would need the snow leopard retail image (not OEM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumobritches Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 i've not heard of either. and sorry for any confusion, it is a copy of the retail dvd for Snow Leopard i have, the DMG image. the trouble i'm having is burning it obviously... and the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] thing looks cool i just don't want it to be {censored} like kalyway was for me. nothing worked right with kalyway so i've been afraid of these modded installations since. WHAT THE do i do when it says remove anything more than 4gb of ram when my CPU only runs in sticks of 3??? and i only have 3 sticks of 2gb's each? ahhhhhh this sucks. AGAIN. no but for real i jokingly ask the ram question because i guess i'll be ok with the 6 gigs since that's my only option. i do seriously appreciate the pointer because i'd be a liar if i said i'm not going to try that this weekend.

stefuNz Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 haha: then remove one 2gb ram stick so you got 4 the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and myHack installations are retail installations!! the only thing they do is: - use a bootloader to boot the retail image - inject some kext you'll need for your hardware (check out the topics on your mainboard in this or the tutorial forum) but again the ram thing: if you have issues installing with 6 GB and don't know any further, take 2 GB out and try again ... i don't think there will be great issues with 6 GB RAM. have fun trying!
