drointhewind Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hi everyone I've been trying to install Mac OS x86 10.4.6 on my toshiba. I partitioned the disk using acronis disk director suite 10 and used their OS selector as well. Everything went fairly well and fairly smooth until I had to select the destination for OS to be selected during installation. During that step, there were no disks for me to choose for the installation. Is there anyway to solve this problem? or will I be unable to install OS x86 on my computer?

drointhewind Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 when i first start my computer, i get to use my OS selector. I select my what Mac OS on and it starts to boot up. I'm able to get past the grey screen with the Apple and then I get to the screen that says Starting up Mac OS. The problem is it starts to load slightly (so you can see the small blue bar loading) but then it stops. It doesn't go further than that though. I can post up pictures for you to see.
