Locker Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hello, I've just started to try and install MAC OSX on my PC (I've got an AMD Athlon 64 4000 with 1GB RAM), all is going well apart from my Keyboard isn't working. After reading around I guess it's because I have a USB Mouse and PS/2 keyboard. So, I've gone out and brought a cheep USB keyboard this morning. Hopefully that will work. Now, I'm installing it onto an external USB HDD. It's detected it fine, but now that it’s formatted as a Mac drive it isn't detected by the BIOS (or Vista), so I'm wondering how I'll be able to boot from it when the installation is complete?

Locker Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 I've successfully installed OSX onto my USB drive (Well, it hung on the finishing off bit but I imagined it was just trying to re-start so I restarted it myself). When I attempt to boot from it nothing happens. I'm attempting to boot from it by hitting F8 to bring up my boot manager after my PC POSTs. Could I fix this by making it a FAT32 Primary Partition? I read about formatting it in this way before install? I’m a bit of a n00b when it comes to all of this so any advice on what I should so would be greatly appreciated Regards, Mark Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44592-a-couple-of-problems-running-osx/#findComment-319651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
