Installing Mac x86 is generating error...

[Nermal]

The reason it doesn't look like official apple product, is probably because the DVD came with new computer, so it doesn't have a box, nor printing on it.

Judging from the screenshot, it looks like a "hacked" copy with a modified bootloader.

Answer:

Here is a sketch of what I'm getting

thats not a screenshot, but apparently a drawing of some sort....and if it is even close to accurate, THAT is not a real OS X boot screen, but rather some x86 kiddie hack 😀

And why would ANYONE pay $140 for Tiger, which retailed for only $129.99 when it was originally released, and can now easily be had for ~$99 @ several online stores 😕

Yeah there are several things that are fishy about this thread. Including that info, chances are this guy has just downloaded Tiger and is making a reason to ask for help.

Why have there been so many threads (about 3) lately about booting OS X on x86??

DackOfDoom, do you have any other questions?

Oh yeah, you wouldn't be able to take a screenshot that early in the boot process.

Nope, no more questions. Im gonna be ordering the imac soon 🙂 Yeah, that picture was just a sketch i did in MSPaint (trying to remember what it looked like, so it probably wasnt that accurate).

I paid $140 for it because I thought that the x86 edition (which clearly you guys have shown doesn't even exist) was some sort of special thing that you had to pay lots of money for.

Just for the record, I never downloaded it illegally; if the DVD itself is illegal, then i do take responsibility, but I didn't download it, just bought it.

Thanks for the help everyone!
