Girlsrockmovie Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (I figured it out, keyboard wasn't enabled) I'm trying to re-install snow leopard on a hackintosh that's gone haywire (hangs at verifying vmi pool data), and when I boot from Kakewalk or [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], the Kakewalk or [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] screen come up and they're locked. I can't choose the hard drive, ejecting the disc an inserting snow leopard (pushing F5) does nothing, and typing -x for safe mode does nothing. I just want to wipe the install that's on there, and start over, as I can't seem to figure out what's gone wrong and haven't found any answers. I'm a noob at this stuff, we bought the Hackintosh from someone else and it died shortly after they disappeared, so I'm trying to resurrect it. It's a P55M-UD2 motherboard, if that matters. i7 chip.

It may be that you have bad RAM or more than 4 Gigs of RAM. It could also be a dead hard disk. Can you try a windows 7 install and see what happens?
