i need a little help here

[yellow24]

ok i tried the iboot disc and everything was going great till i got this:

now i i know im on an intel dual core. not 100% sure on the motherboard type though. my gfx card is nvidia 250. and i have 2 HDDS one is my windows 7 HDD and the other is one i had laying around and decided to use it as my osx HDD(it is formated in windows).

just wondering what your guys 2 cents were on this issue

There's a few others posted same problem here (in fact, thought there was a sticky about it...but don't see that now). Is this fail on booting InstallDVD, or failing to boot an installed system from HD? Anyway...

Can be caused by:
1) Incorrect SATA etc config in BIOS

2) Missing kexts/drivers for your disk controller chip SATA/IDE (or perhaps, OSX not seeing the controller at all, if not a "supported" ICH7/ICH10/P55 etc and no DSDT edits?)

3) Sometimes...just seems to get confused over which disk to use. Can try typing this at the Chameleon boot screen:
rd=disk0s2
replace numbers with whatever's appropriate for your OS X installation/booting medium. So might be disk1s1 or disk0s1 for CD drive etc.

you think if i unplug my windows HDD and turn the other blank one into SCSI mode that should work? when i turned both drives into SCSI mode nothing changed and my windows wouldn't load correctly.

Well, it'd be good to get osx running 1st, with just 1 disk. then you'll know what's needed/how to get it going; then add back the 2d disk and sort out dual boot. At least that way, if you need to reinstall, you'll know the method/config that works for your kit.

p.s. osx needs to be on HFS+ etc, formatted using OSX Disk Utility. Saw your comment about formatting in Windows, not sure it that's your problem?
