Rammjet Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 You must get your DVD drive and your hard drive on the same cable. Set the hard drive to master and the DVD drive to slave using jumpers, not cable select. If you have a laptop, then this is hard to do. So you should investigate using VMWare to install OSX onto your hard drive. Afterwards, you will be able to run OSX natively, without using VMWare. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=11314 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29206-gray-sceen/#findComment-200656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orea Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 There is something wrong with your master boot record! -- The dvd image you have sounds corrupt to me!!

LarryM.net Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I had the same problem with my friends laptop... but the DVD worked fine in all of my computers. I even downloaded a differnt version and tried it, to get the same error. I have a feeling its not a corrupt image. More along the lines of the HD and the CDrom not on the same channel.

taduyducvn Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 I found out that it's not a corrupt DVD when I tried to install in VMware. i'ts work fine. Bt's when I try to do native boot, it's not work, and still show up that scary boot face..
