smurfy76 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 So i went a bought a cheap intel pentium because it looked like it was easier to start on a intel for first timers than a amd..So i found a hp a805n and wanted to install snow leopard. By some grace of god i finally got it to install and it ran perfect except youtube being a lil weird. So without think i did regular apple updates which messed it all up so since i had to redo it because i did it on a small hd (30 gigs) i decided to change it up to a 250 gb hd...i partioned it this time with the main 220 and a backup 30 but for the life of me i cant get it to install again. i tried various setting and even a few that was posted here for the same motherboard but i keep getting the grey loading screen after install and nothing else. Here are the specs for it.
