kelchan Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I am desperate for help! Have been trying to install SL on my PC for days.. I wanted to build myself a hackintosh and went about buying the components listed below: Gigabyte GA-EP45T-UD3LR Intel Core2 Quad Q8400 MSI N250GTS-MD1G 1GB DDR3 PC3 4GB RAM WD 500GB (Cavier Green) I had updated my bios to F10 and had no problem setting my bios to recommendations in the forum. However, when it is installing, it will hang after reaching "Time remaining: About 4 minutes". The bar will stop moving and when I click the toolbar, my cursor becomes and the rolling beach ball. I have left it running for at least an hour but there is no progress. I have tried a few times now and it always hang at the sample location. I even downloaded another copy of Snow Leopard 10.6.1-10.6.2 SSE2/SSE3 Intel AMD and injected it with the latest updates but it still does not work. Initially I thought was my selected kexts just before installation start, so I tried re-installing without any kexts and it installed 100%, but it gave a "fail into install" error at the end. But when I report, it hangs at "Verifying DMI pool data". Rebooted and tried re-installing again, but this time it hangs at the "4 minutes remaining" again. I have tried several times and it just refused to install fully. I have verified that my hardware is working because I successfully installed Win7 with no issues. Hope to get some expert advice. Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
