Hey guys... i tried installing this OSx86 into my laptop which is a 1.7ghz centrino 512mb. just wanna try out.. but it just got stucked after the mac finished loading.. which is the light blue screen.. i waited for almost 30mins, nothing is blinking, neither the dvd-rom nor the hardisk light. So anyone experience this before?
Do i need a clean harddisk for the installing? which also means do i have to manually format my harddisk? i dun need anything from my laptop.. so i dun care about dual boot or partitions.. Please enlighten me.. thanks..

QUOTE(allvin @ Apr 16 2008, 11:44 AM) probably your sata issue.. common issue there..  If you go to darwin cmd mode, it sure give you "couldnt locate root device" er... for my PC yes.. it is the " couldnt locate root device" prob(worse cant even go into the light blue screen).. but for my laptop it didnt say "couldnt locate root device"...  |
