podger Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Hello all. i am new to trying this and have a couple of questions i am trying this on an old hp d330m computer, its got an sse2 p4 with 512mb of ram and an 865 chipset, i have a spare 40 gig PATA drive which i can partition at will and is the only drive in the system. i have the uphuck 1.3 dvd what partition type should i choose in disk utility? when i use the defaults the install takes longer ( a good sign i believe) it completes and reboots but just leaves me with a flashing cursor upon reboot if i choose an mbr type partition, the install is over very quickly and i get the com.apple.boot.plist not found error. any help will be appreciated, i have googled this and found not much and my forum searches on herehave not yielded much either. thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62742-noob-install-questions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
