Help!!! I can' even get to the home screen to start install process.
Here are my specs
MSI P55-GD65 Bios Version 1.A
Core i5-750 stock speed
4GB G.Skill ripjaws 1600 Mhz(board makes it run at 1333)
Evga GTX 480
LG Blu-Ray/DVD combo drive
250 GB HDD that came from my Macbook Pro.(Blank)
keyboard and mouse connected to usb and nothing else.
I set bios to boot from dvd drive. Change integrated peripherals from IDE to AHCI(twice).
Hpet 64 bit was already enabled.
Changed power management from S1 to S3.
Pretty much set everything the way Thaialism said to, on page 2 to of this thread.
First time I tried to install I was on a older bios version and was installing using my install disc for my Macbook Pro. After using the latest version of iboot-GE, I put the Macbook Pro install disc in and on the apple boot screen the wheel would spin and then say I need to restart my computer. I tried regular install and -x, both stopped at same place.
After digging a little, according to MacMan "The grey disc that came with your MacBook Pro (MBP) will only install on a MBP." So I went out and bought the retail install disc at Best Buy. Tried iboot-GE again, then the retail install disc and it still had the same screen telling me to restart, in a bunch of different languages.
Next I decided to update my bios to the latest version (1.A) and tried again. Still got the same restart message.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
I wonder if I should just buy a gigabyte board since that is what tonymac seems to favor, but seeing that some of you guys have had success with this board I feel it would be a waste of money.
