I bought a new brand pc, and this is the conf: MB MSI 7241 (G965M-FI) Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E6430 (2.13 Ghz) GeForce 7300GS 2 GB RAM DDR2 667 HD MAXTOR 160GB SATA Once i turned it on, i tryed, first of all, install OSX86, it's an image from JAS 10.4.8.

Oracle67 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Try to install on an IDE jumpered master HDD. Or put a jumper on the midle pair of jumpers on your sata HDD.

Oracle67 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Guarantee is for a year the most of time. For separate parts is 1 year to lifetime. The most of your parts is 1 to 3 years, like parts. You dont need the support of a shop that is less than the individual parts guarantee. You have ANYWAY 1 to 3 years guarantee, and noone gan seal the box to do not let you add or modify HDD to expand or to install a new system.

Oracle67 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 It is the Lightroom symbol edited in Photoshop. Ask the nesassery permision of your hardware seller to upgrade your system the way you want. It is something minimal this action. Ask for the guarantee of each one of the parts of your pc. No for the box. They cannot refuse it.

Oracle67 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 It is a small equipment not a box but just a gable with 2 ends the one is a normal usb2 and the other converts the sata or ide to usb, you keep your disk internal with the power gable on it and you can connect your drive gable on that tool,it is very cheep and it can be found in the most shops related to hardware. Working finaly or not it is very useful.

Denis Araujo Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 isn't there any other way ?? as i said, i installed it in my wife's computer, and the installation went all fine. the only problem was in the gray screen with the apple logo, after the installation it got frozen. My pc doesn't have all to run OSX? or i really need an IDE HDD to run it??
