Mark76 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hey all, I am new here. So be easy on me. I am currently studying a Degree in Computer Science and I feel I need to mov eonto other operating systems to get a full appreciation of my subject and to get needed experience in it (as some companies do use macs). I have recently downlaoded and tried to use "Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2]" (as titled when I downloaded). I burnt the disk on lowest speed possible (6x) and used a good quality DVD-R. I am comping up with 2 errors inparticular. One with my USB drive plugged in (which I want to install onto) and one without it plugged in. I have pictures of both. First off, I will explain my system: AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3800+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.4GHz 2GB RAM One SATA-II Hard Drive 250GB One USB External Hard drive 200GB (want to install on this) One IDE DVD Drive Currently dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows XP via GRUB Anything else you need to know, just ask. Ok, the 2 errors I get. First, when I have my USB plugged in: And the one without the USB plugged in: I hope you guys can help me get tot he bottom of this. ANY help is appreciated. I hope I can learn from this! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeh Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I'm presuming your CPU to be socket 939 and your motherboard is nForce 4 based. SATA is broken for the nForce 4 chipset and will not work. There is a patch available, search in the hardware forum for it but I think it's only applicable after the install; so you will need to install to an IDE drive.

Mark76 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 I am on an AM2 socket type. I can't work out my chip set. When I run CPU-Z It tells me that my chipset is: "GeForce 6100" and Southbridge: "nForce410/430 MCP". When you refer to nForce 4, do you mean 4xx (where xx is like 10 and 30 in my example?). I ordered a IDE hard-drive the other day wierdly. So it seems I have accidentally solved my own problem, haha. Thanks alot anyway, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
