jamesbeat Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I'm trying to install Snow Leopard on my laptop. I have tried using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and Empire EFI (I have tried all versions of both) with no success. When I press f5 to rescan the optical drive, both [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and Empire EFI hang. I have tried pressing f10 instead, but I get the same thing. I have tried selecting my Leopard installation instead, and also tried swapping the disk for my Snow Leopard disk but not pressing f5, and I get the following error: 'Unable to find driver for this platform ACPI' It seems that for some reason, booting from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]/Empire makes the system forget how to read its own drives. I have had a look in my BIOS, but unfortunately it's very basic and has practically no options available. I'm pretty frustrated because I got Leopard working just fine, but I can't even get to the first stage of installing Snow Leopard! My specs are: Intel Celeron M 420 1Gb RAM Motherboard Dixons UK store brand (no data available) HDD is SATA but shows up in BIOS as IDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
