TeDeU Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 my opinion ? I also have problems installing mac for 4 or 5 day's , but look atyou posts man , and look at heker's number of posts ... do you think in over 1400 posts he asked for help, or he offered help to people ? I think he is one of the few on this forum that really know what he is talking... if you are unable to folow some simple tasks (as i suppose i am also) tha don't blame it on others ... RESPECT ! or how Aly G say RESTECP ! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82173-i-give-up/page/2/#findComment-589408 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerTea Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Seriously, why am I having all these weird-a-- problems? Because you aren't smart (enough) to do it. Calm down, and take some deep breaths. Now use your intelligence as well as some reading/research and a little patience. It's easy. Nobody would be willing to help you, if you keep this attitude, seriously Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82173-i-give-up/page/2/#findComment-589416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been a month straight i've been screwing around with this stuff. So, basically, heres my problem(s) i'm having atm: BLINKING CURSOR WHEN TRYING TO BOOT I suspect a hardware problem behind this. Do you have a free hard drive you could use to install OSX on without any other OSs? If you do, then you could try unplugging/disabling unnecessary hardware from your PC (either physically or via BIOS) and try again. There is also a small chance that the DVD media you are using is not working correctly. Have you tried buring your image on quality media at the slowest speed posible?

socal swimmer Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 why did this guy get 30 posts of responses? He didn't deserve it. He didn't state his problem in the topic or the description, and then blasted hecker for trying to help. I'm all for helping newbies, as long as they are respectful and think for themselves. The only thing this deserved was a 30 post flame-war-massacre Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82173-i-give-up/page/2/#findComment-589669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have an empty 120GB that I tried to install it one with my other hard drive unplugged (cable switched to master, jumpers, etc), yet it didn't work. I burned the dvd at 4x on a 16x compatable DVD. @socal swimmer: Before you know what you're talking about, look around at the other posts i've made first. I have stated my questions and problems quite a bit. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82173-i-give-up/page/2/#findComment-589682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
