_Jay_ Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 What are your specs? If you have an intel setup just download [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. Either nvidia, ati, or supported. One of those should work. Burn it to your flash drive or on a disk.

Gringo Vermelho Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Is there any way to choose retail dvd in chameleon screen? Only if the DVD has been "restored" to a HDD partition using Apple Disk Utility. Like this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...st&id=77257 Chameleon cannot boot optical media unless it is run from CD. There are several guides on how to make your own boot CD here and elsewhere.

J.B Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 what i think is a "technically bad" way of doing it (though i USED to use it) was it boot off the rebelEFI bootCD, which then allowed me to boot straight to the installer disc by removing its disc and inserting the installer disc note i NEVER installed rebelEFI Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/231470-booting-retail-dvd-from-chameleon/#findComment-1545542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
