LordC Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I have a compatible processor, and I'm using JaS osx86 10.4.8 The problem I am getting is that when I start the PC the with osx86 dvd in the drive, it brings up a standard black screen saying "Press a key to install... or press F8... etc." When I press a key I get the message "Loading Darwin\x86..." Then as the PC is about to say something else (Starting or something) it reboots. My Specs: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 1GB RAM Regarding the Hard Drive. I deleted the partitions on my 2nd hard drive (in windows disk manager), Then did the below; list disk select disk [the number of your disk] create partition primary id=af list partition select partition [the number of your new osx partition] active (if this doesn’t work, try ’set active’ without quotes) I tried pressing F8 and starting the installer with these commands; platform=X86PC -v -x -f -s I've searched all over the web, including this site. I found a couple of people with the same problem, but I didn't manage to find any answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

LordC Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 Sorry I mustnt have made it clear. This is before I install OS X. It's not installed yet, as when I insert the DVD the PC reboots after "Loading Darwin\x86". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
