polyxprimal Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hello Everyone, I have tried the install from tonymacx86 and myhack with all of the recommended steps including an empty hard drive (heck I even formated the hard drive using my MacBook Pro as a last resort). The [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] or myhack set up takes me to apple OS (Snow Leopard) setup, I select english as a language but then tells me that "Mac OS X cannot install on this computer" and I am left with the option of a restart button or a restore from time machine back up (even that does not restore from my macbook backup). I have tried adding -x or -v after inserting the Snow Leopard disc and before starting, but the same thing as above happens. Actually if I don't add -x or -v the screen just goes blank. Specifications: Intel Processor: Core 2 Quad Q6700 (K) (2.66GHz /1066 MHz) 2 x 4 MB L2 cache; Quad Core 3 GB (2 x 1 GB, 2 x 512) DDR2 PC2-5300 GeForce 8600GT (512MB shared Video RAM) WD 1 TB Scorpio Black or Seagate 500 GB 7200rpm HDD (tried both hard drives ASUS: IPIBL-LB (HP: Benicia-GL8E) : Intel G33 Express Front-side-bus (processor dependent):1066/1333 MHz PCI Express x1 TV tuner card & TV tuner card with FM tuner (includes remote control & receiver) Wireless LAN 802.11 b/g (internal USB wireless) Integrated 7.1 Sound (7.1 capable sound with front audio ports) If someone here can help me that WOULD be awesome.
