Maximus Arelius Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) Hi im new here and i really need some help! I've gotten really far in installing OSX on my PC but there is one problem. When i start Mac OS X it gets to the boot screen and it just sits there and the little trobber stops moving. I think its the fact that i used PowerQuest Partition Magic and it tells me that the partition I made exceeds the 1024 cylinder and will not be bootable. I dont understand where to go from here. I tried reinstalling OSX like 5 times and it didnt work. Im such a n00b* if anyone can help and help me, pliz it will be much appreciated. Oh and I used Jas Mac OS X 10.4.8 SSeE2.SSE3.v2 Beta. install DVD.

a0011a91 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yeah I think you're having the same problem as I had. The disk utility is bad in the 10.4.8 DVD. I used the 10.4.7 DVD I downloaded a while back to partition my Hard Drive, then used the 4.8 DVD to install onto that partition. Otherwise you need to get the Jas PPF patch, but I can't even find where to do that.
