frenchie Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Give us the specs of your system. That way we can diagnose your problem. Also try booting with -v -f and tell us what you get.

macvn Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 You can try: 1- Set jump Master for your HDD IDE and Slave for your DVD-ROM. Using 01 cable IDE for them and try to install OS X to IDE. 2-Do not plug your SATA until the installation finish. 3-Choose the customise option for install carfefully, only option for AMD cpu.
