stretch. Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Right, I'm new to the OSX86 scene, brand spanking new. So this is a darn steep learning curve for me at the moment and I need a few helping pushes so to speak. I've got the Uphuck 1.3 install dvd, and have followed practically every guide there is using diskpart to partition the disk into the HSF+(methinks) filetype, with the id=af command. Now, it'll boot to an extent: However this is the end of the last line before it seems to hang: "Semthex:/nebukadnezer/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386" I'll try and get a photo of it up when I can get hold of my camera. But I suppose what I'm really asking, is am I missing an obvious step out that the guides I've been following have left out? Or is there a more newb friendly way of installing it? For troubleshooting criteria here's my hardware: AMD Athlon 4600+ MSi K9N SLI Platinum model: MS-7250 nVidia GeForce 7600GT (256mb) 320GB Seagate SATA II I've tried troubleshooting myself, but I just don't know where to look to be honest!

Mr. Bishop Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 This sounds like almost the exact same problem I am having. The worst part, as I mentioned elsewhere, is that the DVD doesn't seem to have 4.3GB of information on it. When you look at the underside, you see a quarter inch of burned data on the DVD, which equals out to about 400KB of information that is readable on the DVD, apparently. I'm really wondering if I am doing something wrong here. I've burned up 4 DVD's now, trying to get one to burn with more then the 400KB of data on it, as well as one that actually begins the installation process.

stretch. Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Well as I read on your thread, there's only 1.3gb of actual data on the disk, which looks correct. And if it is my sata hdd, this comes at a real naff time considering my ide one essentially commited suicide. Is there any way to verify that it is my sata drive causing problems?

socal swimmer Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 since you are using an nforce chipset-based motherboard, SATA won't work. You need IDE...
