Sorry? I don't understand this comment. All I need is for someone to explain where this config.plist is located, that is what drive it is on. It seems a simple enough question, yet one that instead of gets, what? Please do not expect everyone who visits this forum and asks for help to have any...

Is this on the boot USB stick, or somewhere on the hard drive? I'd guess the former if its needed to boot as I have not been able to boot successfully from the HD yet, however I do not know how to extract it. This post - https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/how-to-edit-clover-config-plist.174320/...

Many thanks for the reply, however sorry I have no idea what it means, or where to place it. Please can you be a little more specific?

Well the install of El Capitan worked, but the post install of Multibeast did not. For those of you wishing to continue to follow this mini-series, here is a link to my plea for help on the El Capitan forum -...

Hello, Or if you have been following my trials and tribulations here - https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/system-locks-during-install-of-snow-leopard-full-details-in-post.246425/ - welcome back. So far I have (at last) managed to install Snow Leopard onto a HP 8200 elite. I have been able to...

Well miracles apparently do occur as I have literally fallen over the solution while looking for something else. The answer is here : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3923564 In essence there is a bug(?) in Snow Leopard which causes a conflict between IPV4 and IPV6 and this causes some...

Well this is my last post as I have now given up. There appears to be no way to get this HP8200 to become a Mac. It either refuses to connect to the internet (install, run multibeast) or connects to the internet and then hangs (install without multi beast) In my final attempt I connected the...

Hello (part 5, the rather disappointing sequel to hello part 4) Well slight progress. I found an old 80gb sata drive in my pile of bits. Installed it and followed the guide again. This time I did not install multibeast and managed to get as far as accession Software update. However although it...

Hello (part4) ... why do I keep thinking about a burning fuse? Well dispite the guide saying you dont need multi-beast I have been getting nowhere. So I thought what have I got to loose? I scrubbed the OSX partition, reinstalled, ran the update helper,rebooted,ran the apple update then ran...

Hello (part 3) Well very minor progress. I have discovered that the Tenda drivers also include a wifi utility - they come with virtually zero documentation and the manual on the Tenda web site is for Windows only. Using this utility now gets around the odd issue of having to have a fixed IP...

Hello (part 2), Rather fed up that I was getting less than no-where on a system that should be able to run SL, I stripped it down and did a thorough clean with my air brush (using the compressor at just under a bar). This blew a lot of gunk from, well everywhere really - so much for this being...

Hello, I have an HP 8200 elite SSF. Processor is an Intel i5-2400 running at 3.1ghz, processor stepping is 000206A7, 0000001B. There is 4GB of ram on board There is a 1tb Hard drive which has been partioned as 200gb and 800gb (or there abouts) Graphics is an Nvidia Gt210 in the black pcie...

Sorry I assumed that since I have been discussing an HP8200 that I would not be bitten for missing that info in my profile... guess not.

Well I guess a lot of folk hit a hurdle when installing OSX and I am sadly no exception. I have a new 1tb sata hd installed have set the HP to factory defaults (which in my case enabled AHCI) and am following the instructions here -...

Hi trs96, Thank you once again for such a comprehencive post and such good news. The hp psu is actually a clever design as its fan also cools the main hard drive. Had it been a more standard type then I would have replaced it with a good make gold level psu, and wasted my money doing so. Now...
