cbmkgd Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Get rested and some fresh air, come back when your headache is gone. Check the OSx86 Wiki to see if people with similar hardware had success. Do also a search on this forum. If that doesn't help, and because nobody here is a mind reader, give much more details about your setup, method, dvd version, etc. Then you'll get help. Good luck.

LSD_GPx Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 look man, is difficult to help if you dont give exact details of what you are doing.... Anyway forget about mac drive. Now you should wipe clean your HD (google for a HD wipe utility) or at least erase all exisistent partitions with some disk manager utility. Do not format it from windows afterwards. Then try to partitioning the disk in Utilities/DiskUtility/Partition tab (osx installer menu bar). When you do this be shure that the option 'Master Boot Record' (Partition tab/Options) is lit and you've selected 'Mac extended (Journaled)' as file system. The uphuck DVD is too buggy, the JaS 4.7 is a little bit too old, but at least would work for shure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
