citizenkane Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hello, I'm new to OSX86, not to OSX. I have been trying like hell to get OSX86 to install on my new computer but it would give me that damn Gost Busters's mark above the Icon every time. I have been able to install on a older celeron chip with 10.4.3. I was messing around today and put a Firewire 2 DVDRW on and tried to install osx86 on my new computer when bam it took off. I would assume OSX86 does not like the DVDRW that I put in my new PC. Well after the install of 10.4.7 it starts to boot up, and freezes in the middle of the loading screen with the icon that shows the progress. Would someone please help me with this? My PC is a Dual Core 3.2 Asus P5ND2 2GB ram Gforce 6600 PCI-Express The ISP file is a Jas 10.4.7 Thanks!!!!!

Gavin Lewandowski Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hi, Im new too, but it seems it helps the guys if you boot up by pessing F8 then enter -x -v , and try to note down as much information during the bootup and when it crashes.

Gavin Lewandowski Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hi Kane, You should be booting from the JAS DVD, when the bootoption comes up , it says something like "Press enter to install MAC OS/x or F8 for startup options" press F8, then enter -x -v (press enter), and note what errors scroll up.

JaS Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 A lot of the time this can be caused by how you have the drives set up on the ide channel,What I would do is set the dvd drive to master on ide0 and jumper it to master NOT CABLE SELECT.Then set the hdd as master on ide1,also jumpered to master and not cable select.try that out and let me know how it goes Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26813-1047-install/#findComment-182257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizenkane Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 JaS, thans for the response. How do I do that? I'm new to this. Is this a jumper setting on the Hard drives/DVDRW? Or do I do this is bios? I installed JaS 10.4.7. Thanks for the help.

citizenkane Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 I think you wanted me to change the cable settings on my motherboard. I have the DVDRW set as Master, as the first device. My hard drive as master as the 2nd device. Is this what you wanted me to do? I'm installing the software right now. I'll post what happens.
