Hello I am new to this forum, I am trying to install snow leopard 10.6.3 in the dual screen iconia Laptop as a concept the hackintosh should work I am a designing architect and having something that is touchscreen and a laptop/mobile system in my field is a major Help (not to mention it very catchy in client interactions ) I would have bought a MacBook but opted at the last second, this system suited better for my uses
Thus far I have successfully installed snow leopard 10.6.3 2 times BUT. The problem is that when I officially reboot it on it's own for the first time it gets stuck at "waiting for DSMOS" some times displays previous cause for shutdown after that nothing happens so I will have to erase the hard drive and reinstall. that brings me to the next big problems, the laptop does not have an optical drive so I am using the samsung external DVD writer se-so84d for some unexplainable reason when I put in the iboot boot disk it shows up as Apple_HFS and when booted like this it will display HFS SIGNATURE WAS NOT SIGNED. My specs are as flows
