daku Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Hi. I searched the forum but i only saw ppl that installed but didn't give me any information that i could use (or i used but i get the same problem) or couldn't install at all on Asus P5B-E My system is Asus P5B-E (Bios 1601) Core2 Duo 6400 @ 2.13GHz 2x512DDR2 667 Nanya CL5 Maxtor 160GB SATA2 DVD-RW Asus SATA2 7300GT Gigabyte I tried to install both in AHCI and IDE mode JAS 10.4.8 XXX 10.4.10 Kalaway 10.4.10 Even ToH Leopard I can install, i chose the partition I format it install works great untill .. System will restart in 30 seconds After reboot ... /com.apple.Boot.plist not found That if I let the DVD in, cos if i remove it then nothing happens. I only get the cursor on screen and the systems will stay like this forever. I've never tried using OSX except my G4 but there i never get these errors Is there maybe something i have to set in bios and slipped my mind? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivier-h Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hi, It's explained in many topcis in here : you CAN'T install from DVD ( IDE I presume). The only practicable way is to connect your dvd via USB ( external HD case for example) If you want a osx that works just after installing and no need of DVD make a search for leopard flat file, it install from HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daku Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Well i have set SATA to AHCI booted from sata dvd-rw and installed till the "/com.apple.Boot.plist" error then i booted 2day from USB DVD and installed and the same /com.apple.Boot.plist not found Well i think PC are just not made for mac .. or maybe my bios is too stupid (it's the last version - i should've tried b4 updating bios) I'll stick around with my G$ laptop which is better and doesn't give me install problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
