I have a Lenovo 3000 K100 with: 500W Antect Power supply Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT w/512Mib Intel Core 2 Duo proc @ 2.33Ghz with 1333FSB 4Gib Ram Anything more you need to know please tell me... My problem is that I have tried several things: iATKOS, Kalyway, and now Leo4all, and none of them have even booted up for install.

ZimmerX Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I am quite sure your motherboard doesn't support OSX. Go check your chipset for your particular motherboard ( i.e 780i, P35 etc etc ) and check your SATA controllers.

GeekofComputers Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 And when you burn it to a dvd make sure you double click on the .iso file and burn it when the program opens up instead of going into your dvd burner and burning the image itself Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96506-please-help-nothing-is-even-booting-up-for-install/#findComment-690384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
limac Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 well, this time i used kalyway and installed it with -v -x cpus=1, but when booting from the HDD it always gives a blank black screen with a blinking cursor at the top left corner. ThnksWell, I have a lenovo motherboard; chipset (on the website it is saying): G33, (on cpuz it is saying P35/G33/G31), so if that is helpful for you to determine the problem, please reply. i need mac OS, i bought the license for my laptop in which it installed with no probs at all. but on my Desktop the same DVDs that i installed leopard with in my Laptop are having problems.Thanks,limac Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96506-please-help-nothing-is-even-booting-up-for-install/#findComment-693852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
