Hey guys,
I am trying to install Mac OSX Snow Leopard on my dell optiplex 780 but I can't get to the installer... iBoot keeps saying:still waiting for root device. I have already tried changing the sata port the CD/DVD-ROM is connected to but with no results :(
Can anyone help me please?

Do you have the SATA ports set to AHCI in the BIOS? And only the target HDD/SSD attached to the first (lowest numbered) SATA port?

Goos modding,

I just changed it to AHCI Mode but now I am getting :EBIOS read error: Media error Block 0x0 Sectors 0 when i am inserting my Snow Leopard DVD.. What can I do now?
