jayzon915 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I'm a OSX newbie so go easy on me! I currently have XP, Vista, and Sabayon Linux installed on my SATA 160 GB hard Drive. I would like to install OS X to test it out. If I like it I plan on getting a new laptop this Christmas with Leopard. I currently have an Acer T180 with some extras. Processor: AMD Athlon 3800+ "Orleans" (NOT the Dual Core) Video Card: NVidia FX 5500 (PCI) RAM: 1 GB DDR2 PC2-5300 Hard Drives: 160GB SATA Internal 160GB IDE Internal 320 GB External Western Digital My Book Pro Optical: DVD+RW Software: OS X 10.4.8 Jas Patch (works I've tried it on an old Dell 2400 and it starts to install but the intergrated video just doesn't cut it.) Whenever I attempt to install OSX it goes through the black screen very slowly. When it appears to start it goes to a gray screen, then a pale blue screen with a cursor in the upper left. I can move the mouse fine but there is no menus or anything. Occasionally it will access the DVD drive but it will not do anything after that.... Any Suggestions?
