BJMoose Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 When you partitioned the disk, was the OSX86 partition made as primary and active? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66704-i-am-new-at-this-stuff/#findComment-472948 Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 You may want to try a different AMD centric installer DVD such as Uphuck 1.4a or Tubgirl.

~pcwiz Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 OK, download that, burn it, and boot from it. Make sure you are downloading Uphuck 1.4a. The other 1.4 series versions are intel only. Tubgirl is better for AMD than Uphuck but you can try that if Uphuck doesn't work...
