Reveeen Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Sadly, there are some that simply won't boot OSx86 on CD, I have one here that simply refuses (P4R800VM). My options seem to be: 1) forget it and continue to run Windoze 2) pre-load the hardrive with the suitable drivers on another computer that WILL boot the CD, then before re-start swap the hardrive into the computer you wish to run OSx on. Sorry I can't be of more help. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81374-problems-with-booting-dvd-image/#findComment-579079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
