dekozi Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I've been trying to install Snow Lepard on a Toshiba A500 and i haven't had any luck getting to boot. I'm using the EmpireEfi cd to boot from and i'm installing retail (Original Snow Leopard DVD that i had purchased). The installation goes well except it will not boot off of the drive, it doesn't see the drive as bootable. I've tried different bootloaders such as PCefi 10.6, Chameleon 2.0 RC5 which is the latest one, i've tried an older Chameleon 2.0 RC4, installed FakeSMC.kext and no luck. I also tried the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] instructions on Tonymacx86 and that didn't work either. Removed all ATI and GeForce kexts. Please help me, this is very frustrating. Specs: CPU: Core i5 - 430M RAM: 4GB DDR 3 Video: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M Audio: Realtek ALC272-GR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
