third~eye Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi Mohamed, I'm stuck at the pre-install screen. I used BootCD 1.5, OS X is a burned DVD (from retail DMG, I think 10.6.0, but I'm not sure). It's a Compaq Presario CQ61 Notebook (I paste complete specs below). I tried both from USB stick and DVD, it's kinda strange that the results differ. Here's what it looks like, left is from USB stick: AMD Athlon II M320 / 4GB RAM ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4300 hp CDDVDW TS-L633N ATA Device Motherboard Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard Model 3652 (Socket S1G3) Version 0491110000200D10000020000 Chipset Vendor AMD Chipset Model 785G Chipset Revision 00 Southbridge Vendor AMD Southbridge Model SB700 Southbridge Revision 00 BIOS Brand Hewlett-Packard Version F.15 Date 05/17/2010 Optical Drives hp CDDVDW TS-L633N ATA Device Availability Running/Full Power Capabilities Random Access, Supports Writing, Supports Removable Media Config Manager Error Code Device is working properly Config Manager User Config FALSE SCSI Bus 1 SCSI Logical Unit 0 SCSI Port 1 SCSI Target Id 0 Status OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
