Exclamation OSX=Problems 10v - 04-14-2011, 05:38 PM

hi i got a 10v today and tried to install OSX 10.6.2 disk which was a converted torrent-disk which works as i used to turn my imac from leopard to snow leopard. so i used Dell Mini 10v Installation via USB and Mac | Guides | OS X | mechdrew
guide and first off it worked ok then after i updated it and it restarted it came up with the netbookinstaller sign and then i turned it off as nothing was happening then rebooted which did nothing then it just came up with the spinning apple wheel and the apple logo and thats all it does. its running BIOS A06,
so please help

I had the same problem when I Hackintoshed mine. Reinstall OSX but dont do all the updates. I left out the big one (cant remember the name) and it is still fine months one.

Buy a retail disc, the guides and tools aren't written to work with torrent versions stolen from the internet.
