Hello everyone!
I'm new here and haven't even touched a Mac computer since I was 15 years old in the year 2000. I'm honestly getting tired of the issues with Windows and decided to give Mac a try again and check out the changes. So all help with getting this to install on my computer would be greatly appreciated. I am computer literate when it comes to Windows, but Mac, Linux etc. I'm at a loss.
I have a Sony VAIO All-In-One desktop PC and trying to use iATKOS v7 to install Mac OSX and managed to get it installed, but when i reboot when it asks me too, it goes to the gray screen/apple logo with spinning circle. I can't get it past that.
Here is the link to my exact computer:
Click Here (http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=VGC-JS230J®ion_id=1)
Processor: Intel Dual Core E5200
Motherboard: Not sure model, manufacturer, etc. But the link has a bios section maybe it could help. the motherboard does have Intel chipset
Has 1 Hard drive 500 GB SATA i do believe
The rest of the hardware is pretty much on the support page and the computer is a nice high end model in some spechs.
I did need to use the cpus=1 to get into the DVD and did select the DSDT (I followed the instructions on the Mickey Mouse (http://uphuck.ggrn.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4145) page rofl Whoever termed it that was a WIN! LMAO)
