Dutch-Man Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hi. I am tying to install mac on my PC but i cant get it to start up the installer. When i try to start the SL installer my PC reboots. The Leopard version doet go to the installer but i get still waiting for root device. I get a similar error on SL. I tryed to edit some bios settings but without any luck. The DVDs do work in VMware and on my laptop.

Peter_sm Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I also have this issue, it ended up that I needed a SATA DVD or a USB DVD, I have tested both and it works, but no luck width the IDE DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
