Drakhra Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Well, I tried installing with my ideal customized package and a "failed install" message came up. So i look'd 'bout a little bit and found out the basic way to do the install, so i installed the software with only the top box (greyed-out) and the intel combo package, sse2 and sse3 (i think it is sse?). Anywho, I only had 4 boxes checked, which allowed it to install fine (which was ok cos i heard that you can install some bits later inside mac so i was fine about missing some things i wanted to install). But then the real bad SHIZZLE, I boot up the mac and i get some strange goings on, first a black screen (computer is busy - light flashing), mouse appears ((computer is busy - light flashing still) then a blue screen (computer is busy - light flashing) then another black screen (computer is'nt busy - light not on) then a blue screen (first blue screen was for about half a second the second is for longer 5-6 secs) and the rainbow swirl comes on (computer is busy - light flashing) the the black screen appears with loads of randomly shaped blue boxes with a white bar which seems to grow longer (like a progress bar) then the random boxes on the black screen change to a different alignment. then it goes back to a black screen after some time and THATS IT. THE WIERD THING IS THAT THE COMPUTER SEEMS TO BE DOING WHAT IT SHOULD (IN MAC) BUT THE COMPUTER DOESNT SEEM TO BE DISPLAYING IT CORRECTLY...I THINK.

matulike Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Did you install sse2 and sse3? It looks like that is what you're saying - if so, you only need one. I'm not sure if a conflict will cause the install failure, but find out if you need sse2 or sse3 cos you can only use one patch I think.

Drakhra Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 ok, so i have tried using only SSE3 and the results are in: NO CHANGE. it seems my problem is of a different nature HELP ME THE ORIGIONAL MESSAGE IF YOU CAN BE BOTHERED TO LOOK UP IS: I tried installing with my ideal customized package and a "failed install" message came up. So i look'd 'bout a little bit and found out the basic way to do the install, so i installed the software with only the top box (greyed-out) and the intel combo package, sse2 and sse3 (i think it is sse?).

Rammjet Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 One of these days you will tell us about your computer: processor, motherboard, graphics chipset, etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36867-serious-help-needed/#findComment-262416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakhra Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Fairplay; I have an Intel processer which i know nothing about as i do not know how to boot into windows since the unsucsessful installation of OS X. My graphics chipset is unknown also but i have a ATI Radon X800 my motherboard i think is a dell one Sorry and thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36867-serious-help-needed/#findComment-262420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thi3f Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 When you turn your computer enter into the set up to find your processor. (On dell I believe it's F2) Then apparently you have an internet connection, google your processor and see if it is SSE2 or SSE3, although it already appears it isn't SSE3 from your previous installation.

Rammjet Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Try installing and selecting only Intel Combo update and Intel SSE2. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...ost&id=4499 To boot into Windows, you need to set your Windows partition "active". You can use any Windows/Linux disk/partition utility on a boot CD or use Fdisk from the OSX install DVD. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=22844 Since you have two hard drives, you need to select your Windows hard drive in BIOS as the first one to boot.
