tysonwil Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I have the Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2].iso. I burned it to a DVD+R using Nero express. However when I restart my computer with the disk in it, it will not boot. I go into my BIOS and set it to boot from my CD drive. It still just boots right into Vista. I am using Easybcd if that's any help.... Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50416-mac-os-x-boot-dvd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using Easybcd if that's any help.... Thanks well I'll cover the most basic troubleshooting. Did you correctly burn the disk image to the DVD or did you simply burn a disc containing the ISO file? I can't tell you how many times I've seen that done. If you pop that CD into your PC and view it from Windows please tell me it doesn't have 1 file on it called "Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2].iso" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50416-mac-os-x-boot-dvd/#findComment-360724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbau Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 If it was burned correctly, you should at least be able to get to the darwin boot loader. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50416-mac-os-x-boot-dvd/#findComment-360728 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tysonwil Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 Yes, I just burned the .iso file to the DVD and that's all that there is on it. How else am I supposed to burn it? I will try MagicISO instead of Nero. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50416-mac-os-x-boot-dvd/#findComment-361229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 (Post details about your hardware) Lets take it from the begining, supposed that iso is correct. Set your boot order from Bios(DVD/HDD/Flopy). Disable SMART from Bios. Poot the DVD in the Drive and start. You sould have (any way) this picture: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50416-mac-os-x-boot-dvd/#findComment-361235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tysonwil Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 When I start to burn with MagicISO I notice that it says the .iso is non-bootable. I just have to burn the .iso directly to the DVD without doing anything special, correct? It also says the DVD I burned earlier is non bootable. I have configured my BIOS correctly. I have also attatched my CD/DVD drive info.

tysonwil Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Ok Thanks, Now I have Mac OS X installed, but when I try to boot back into Vista using Darwin, Vista says its missing its boot file. Is there any way I can solve this without the Vista install DVD? My computer came pre-installed with it.
