Silicon Valley Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Howdy all. I'm (as everyone has) painstakingly (is that spelled right?) trying to install OSX on the following system: FUJISTU LIFEBOOK P4 3.2 HT MOBILE INTEL PENTIUM 4 1.5GIG RAM ATI RADEON MOBILITY 9600/9700 (YES, the Device Manager shows this) MAT{censored}A DVD-RAM UJ-8305 CDRW/DVDRW (Single Layer) BROADCOM NETLINK GIGABIT ETHERNET ATHEROS AR5001X - WIRELESS ADAPTER SIGMA-TEL C-MAJOR AUDIO SSE2, SSE3, PAE (NOT SURE ABOUT NX, SINCE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIND THAT OUT) HERE'S MY ISSUE: When I boot, it says it can't find the ROOT DEVICE (which I believe is that it doesn't recognize the CD/DVD. Is it possible to INSTALL from an external USB CDROM/DVD DRIVE? If not, what would be the easiest method, and, how do I find out if the system has NX. Any help would be super, and greatly appreciated. I've been researching this for a couple months, and have the new machine, but now I'm dead in the water, since I can't get past this CD/DVD to install OSX86. Thanks guys.

kikos Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I'm not sure if you can install from an external drive. Your other option is to install from within windows using vmware and mounting the installation iso so that vmware sees the disc as being in an internal optical drive.
