I have an AMD Turion Processor,and a Nvidia GeForce 8200M Motherboard. I was wondering if there was a version that is compatible with this.

I apologize if this is covered elsewhere, I did a search, but was unsure of what subject specifically to search for in this case.

I have a dual HDD system with Windows on one and Snow Leopard on the other. I am booting off of the Empire EFI CD.

I have installed a new video card and as a result I have updated com.apple.Boot.plist that I need to modify on my EFI CD. However, now when I take the 2 updated file folders and make them into an ISO file and burn them to a CD, I am not able to boot from the CD, it always goes directly into windows instead of the EFI menu.

What step have I missed? I have used 2 different windows based ISO creators and I am burning the ISO disk using Roxio.

Any advice would be appreciated.

OK, question....

I need an answer here. Is my following post
a: horribly written
b: am I an idiot for asking, or
c: is it something no one knows the answer to?

I have been posting this question around the net at various sites and can not get a reply from anyone. And I am seriously stuck.

I can burn the modified files onto a CD, it just will never boot when I do.

Either you are making a data cd or the writing software is messing up. I stay clear of roxio anything, but that is just me, Try imgburn from imgburn.com. It worked great for me. an ISO is a disk image, so when you look at the cd after burning, do you see the .iso file? if so, that is a data cd - not what you want. after burning the .iso you should see what was inside the .iso on the cd. Make sense?

hey whatsup. so i have been reading prasy's blog top to bottom and am having a hard time deciding what version of empire efi to use or even if i can use it. ....

specs: inspiron 6000 laptop

intel pentium m 740 1.6ghz

intel 915 gm/pm chipset

1.5gb ddr2 ram

graphics- ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300 PCI Express

i am currently working with a friend to put snow leopard on his newer i3 laptop and we're in the process of burning the o.s dvd, but i'd like to put it on my pentium m 740 if possible without too much trouble. if there is a version that i should use over the others of empire for my specs and someone could post a link that'd be great and i would appreciate it.

i'm just having a hard time finding out which version will work. any other tips or tricks given would be appreciated.

I would suggest trying iboot. I haven't checked in the last few months but the last thing I read from prasys sounded like he wasn't going to continue with empire. I could be wrong though. Good luck!
