BigSlice Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hey everyone I am new to the whole hackintosh scene and recently tried installing leohazard 10.6.6i on my dell xps 8000 intel I7 with 1tb sata hdd. i could not get passed the still awaiting root device with leohazard so i switched to iatkos (sorry if thats not how its spelt) it installed fine but however when booting it gave me that stupid no smoking sign even though i managed to partition the hard drives and apparently install it correctly i have looked around for possible fixes but they all seem old and none of them are working. I tried reinstalling windows but that would not allow me to it says cannot install over a gpt file system so as of now im stuck on ubuntu :'( any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. My hardware specs are as follows: Intel I7 2.96ghz nvidia geforce 1gb graphics card 8gb ddr3 ram 1tb sata hdd If it helps my dvd drive is also run via sata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
