HI guys, i followed the instruction provided on this website : NetbookInstaller 2: USB Mac Installation via Any Operating System | Guides | OS X | mechdrew

I used the method : " NetbookInstaller 2: USB Mac Installation via Any Operating System " since i dont have a MAC book.

But everytime i started to boot from the USB, the Apple Logo appeard then this message occured immediately : "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the Restart button.

Try a different USB flash drive, a lot of people have had problems booting from various USB flashes.

Thanks for the reply. I also tried even new USB drives but still the same. Do you think it could be the image file that i have created thats having a problem? Any suggestions? thanks again

Sounds like a bad image to me. What program did you use to make the image? Have you tried the free trial of TransMac?
Download TransMac

I've had the same thing happen to me. I thought it was just because I was using an old iBook to make it, but it's not really an image, is it? You're literally just copying over the files from the Mac DVD to the USB. Yes, you then use NetBookMaker, but...

Any solutions?

FYI: That is the Mac screen you get with a kernel panic.



About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages

Additional Information
A "kernel panic" may occur when the core (kernel) of an operating system receives an instruction in an unexpected format, or that it does not handle properly. A kernel panic may also occur when the operating system is not able to recover from a different type of issue. A kernel panic can be caused by damaged or incompatible software or, more rarely, damaged or incompatible hardware.

Macs have Grey screens of Death, - but Blue screens of Life !!

I know what a KP is.

That doesn't help solve the problem. I've used four different USB drives to no avail. If my computer crashes, I am SOL because I can't start from a USB, and that's not really cool.
