Do not select anything for Graphics as you will still get default graphics. Choosing the wrong option or multiple options will cause problems. Under chipset, if you are not sure which to choose you can choose all of them except those that conflict. So if there are multiple options with similar names just choose one. Choosing the bare minimum at the time of install will give you a much high chance of getting into OSX. It is much easier to fix issues from inside OSX.

thanks, how will i know which will conflict?

and just a random thought, if i installed the newest version of Macdrive, would I be able to salvage what's on my OS X HDD?

Oh yea and Am I allowed to name my OS X drive anything I want to with iPC? Just wondering because Leo4All said I could only call my HDD "osx", If so whats the default OS X hardrive name for REAL macs?

By conflicting I mean if there are multiple options with similar names just choose one. Only choose one VIA option, only choose one nForce option...

You could use Macdrive, or you could boot your install disk and copy the files to a thumb drive. Let me know i can explain how.

PS There is no need to "bump" this is a low volume forum so it would be some time before your thread moves down far enough where people forget about it.

ive tried installing 3 times now... all times it has failed... Am I doing something wrong? Can anybody tell me what kernels and all that stuff to install? and to late for Macdrive, already wiped it, a few times, and suggestions?

Is it hanging in the same place? What is the last line?

xXrkidXx · #27 04-09-2009, 01:12 AM

Instalation failed is my last line lol,

im guessing its because I'm choosing Intel GMA 900 for the video card? or Not choosing something for chipsets?

please help

Oh so your saying that its not even finishing the install. Iight.

One of the reasons could be because your Optical Disc Drive isn't supported.

This happened to me before and if I can remember correctly it was because I burned the DVD at to high of a speed.

I used IMG Burn and the speed i used was AWS,(its a +R) should I just wipe the disc and burn at 6x? or slower? any help is always appreciate, would really love to have my Mac running tonight

You are burning on a +RW or +R I would burn it to a non-rewritable +R or -R disk not an RW and burn at the slowest speed
