Hey all,
I followed the guide to install Snow Leopard on an Intel PC and have gotten stuck one of the early steps. When I take out the iBoot disc, I insert the Snow Leopard dvd which will then eject on its own a couple times before it actually takes, then press f5 to refresh and proceed to the install screen. This is where I get stuck, I hit enter and all I get is the apple logo followed by a a message that says "You need to restart you're computer, please press and hold the button down until your computer powers down". I have tried -x for safe mode but it just sounds like its searching the DVD for a about a minute or so and then the same error pops up. I have also checked all my bios settings (achi etc.) and everything seems alright. Any help is appreciated.
Setup -
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale @ 3.00Ghz
Motherboard: Intel DG33TL
Memory: 4GB OCZ (2x1GB & 1x2GB)
HDD: Seagate 7200RPM 500GB
Graphics: MSI nVidia GTX460 Cyclone
CD/DVD: Sony DVDRW DL
Other than that I am using a Logitech G9x USB Mouse and a generic USB hp keyboard. Also, I use the CD/DVD drive on a daily basis - so it may be safe to say that it is not the issue. A bad disc perhaps?
Thanks for reading!
