I found this excellent guide on this wonderful forum to install Retail OSX on a Gigabyte GA31M E2SL board with Core2 Quad CPU. I was using osx 86.net/f57/guide-retail-snow-leopard-dvd-install-for-g31m-t3672// this tutorial, I prepared a 16GB USB Flash drive, burned the DMG on it, and used myHack Installer to patch it. The installer boots, but I am stuck on the preparing installation screen after I select the language.
What am I missing? I followed the tutorial exactly, altough I am not sure about the following to things:
-GUID partitioning: I did not see any option like this, I formatted the drive as Mac OS Extended Journaled
-SATA AHCI etc. In the BIOS of the mobo, I did not see any option like this.
Altough the machine boots with Hazard's Leopard installer and detects the hard disks. (leoh azard.com)
Please if you have ever faced this error, and have a solution
