Can't install Snow Leopard

[alexjamcclean]

Hi! I'm very new to this and have endeavored to follow the guides to the tee, but I'm obviously missing something as I can't seem to get Snow Leopard installed. My destination is to run Sierra. My build is as follows:

Asus ROG Strix Z270G
I7 7700K
Intel HD 630
16GB Crucial Ballistics DDR4
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
TP Link Archer T9E

I configured my BIOS as per the instructions, then I burned iBoot 3.3.0 on an old PCpc and ran it on the new build. After swapping discs on boot, I can't get to the Snow Leopard installation part. I tried entering the boot flags listed but to no avail, I just get either a black screen or a white screen with the grey Apple logo and no loading wheel. Going to keep trawling through other threads and apologies, if this has already been solved, but I'm stuck at a brick wall!

Can anyone help with this?

Many thanks,

Alex

I don't think you can install Snow Leopard onto a Kaby Lake system like yours.

If you want to install Sierra on your system, you may have to gain access to a real Mac or working hackintosh to allow you to download Sierra and make the Unibeast USB stick.

Oh damn, I don't have access to a mac. I've noticed people selling Sierra bootable usb sticks on eBay could that be a viable option? My only concern with that is that it might not have been done with unibeast.

Thoughts?

Thanks I think I understand. I'll also understand if my account is removed.
