Hi
Apologies in advance if this problem has been dealt with before. This is probably a dumb question as I'm using a Pentium processor....anyway.
I'm new to this and am trying to install Snow Leopard 10.6.2 from purchased retail DVD onto the following components:
Gigabyte H61M-DS2 DVI board
Intel Pentium G2130 CPU
Kingston 4GB HyperX DDR3 1333MHz
Western Digital AV-GP 500GB HDD
I'm trying to install OS onto system using iBoot Legacy 2.7.2 and am following the guide from Tonymacx86. I've loaded optimized defaults for my system and set everything according to guide. The only option that I'm missing from my BIOS is to set HPET to 64-bit mode, which isn't available....
After I swap out the iBoot CD for the installation DVD I get as far as the installation test screen and get the message that Mac OSx cannot be installed on this computer. I can open Disk Utility and create a partition for the OS but can't get to installation.
It's probably that my CPU that isn't compatible, but any help anyone might have would be very much appreciated by this newbie.
Thanks.
