Hawk Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Oie Right, First time OSx86 User! :-D Anyways, when installing the first time, all was going dandy, I saw the grey apple.I was happy..but alas, it was not to last, it jammed with a symble simler to the "Do not disconnet" from iPod, so, waited out for 10 mins, saw nothing changed, reset and did a -v command on it. (My version is 10.4.2 OSx anyways) This is the message I get "ATA drive claims flush cache feature support but does not clain extended LBA Feature support" Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hawk Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Right..Since it's going to come out.. 3.4 Intel Pentium 4 HT SSE3 (I think on the SSE3 part) 800 FSB FoxConn 648/661 -Based on SiS 661FX 1Gig DDR 400 9550 Radeon @ 256 Don't remembre the HD's though. O_o; Don't feel like rebooting and seeing, 80 for the first and 30 for the one I want to install on my OSx on Prim IDE Chanel Master:80G Prim IDE Chenel Seconday:30G Secondary IDE Master: DVD Secondary IDE Seconday:None And der you go And thanks your time,dude. I already have a DVD, so, guessing get WMware, install it and use it? (Acts like a boot within a boot I'm guessing?)
