Hi Guys... Thanks for any help.

I have tried a Dual Boot project; Vista business and Mac OS X( JAS 10.4.8). I am new to Mac and having problems interpreting the forums as terminology and tips are given.

My system is Dell Latitude d630, 2 gb ram, intel core 2 duo T7250 2GHZ, SATA 160 GB HDD.

I partitioned the drive with vista and installed in the first partition then installed JAS 10.4.8 in the second partition. After several attempts OS X installed and appeared to be working; no keyboard or touch pad, no sound; video and wireless worked; no lan; usb ports worked; using usb keyboard and mouse. Finally decided to shut down and reboot

Now, this is where I am stuck. When I cold boot the unit the apple page displays; then a blue screen; than a black screen; no video. The HD light continues to flash as if the system is booting but I can see anything. I attached an external monitor. The video transfers to the external monitor. It displays the background and two untitled folders The mouse pointer is active and that it... nothing.

Does anyone have any idea as to what I should try next other than reinstalling JAS 10.4.8? Much appreciated.
