Post your specs or add them to your signature. Here is how: http://www.infinitemac.com/faq.php?f...atures_avatars
Do you get a blinking cursor after selecting the CD to boot? |
I do not get a blinking cursor.
dell e510 Intel Pentium 4 630 (3.3GHz) Processor 1.5GB ram 300GB HDD Intel HIgh Definition Audio ATI Radeon X300SE Graphics Card with 256MB LAN: Intel PRO/100 VE http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in...on_5150.2FE510 |
It looks like you have Intel 945G Express chipset: http://support.dell.com/support/edoc....htm#wp1052310
Place your install disk in your PC. Do you see a single file on the disk or are there a few files and folders? We want to make sure that you burned the DVD from the image and did not just burn the image file on to the disk. Press F2 on startup and enter the BIOS. Make sure that your DVD drive is set as a boot option. |

I wood like to use a usb harddrive to boot the ipc dvd. But I do not know howto do it. How do I do it? On a mac
|
So that I am on the same page. You want to install OSX from the iPC DVD to an external usb harddrive?
Did you check the Disk like I mentioned in the previous post? |
I want to install iPC from an external usb harddrive.
Did you check the Disk like I mentioned in the previous post? Yes I did. I see 3 files name dvd or cd sharing setup.mpkg and install mac os x.app and mach_kernel |
If you have access to a MAC you can use Disk Utility's Restore function. You plug the hard drive in and insert the Install DVD and you can use Disk Utility to restore to the external hard drive. Then you can boot the drive provided your motherboard supports booting from USB.
