I have a new-er HP computer, I install it fine, and then when it boots it will just sit at an image of an apple. I'd imagine this is some kind of error, but wanted a second opinion on it. Thanks in advance.
I also have an HP computer, but for some reason, after I install it, my computer won't boot. I think it said some message about "insert startup disk" or "startup disk not found" I'm trying to dual boot Vista and os x. Did you have this problem? what am i doing wrong?
You have to split it into two partitions. The easiest way for me to do this is to download and burn a software called GParted. It will allow you to split it into two partitions, and format them. If you want to do Vista and OS X, format the Vista part to NTFS, and OSX to unpartitioned. Then install an OS Selector on Vista to work on startup, then install OSX on your unformatted partition.
but befoire that i used to just use a linux distro...
but i think with iDeneb you can use the disk utilities and split the volumee.... just erase the volume, split it and use only one for osx86, and then leave the other one as unallocated space, then pop in a windows 7 dvd [or w/e u like] and run it and format that partition for that OS....
can u send me the instuructions on how u did this i tried for a month to get this to work i just never could you can email me at rulecar961 at yahoo dotcom

Wow, a lot of you are tricked by this. He just has 2 separate HDs with a boot selector. No big deal there.

YEP! Its a standard version of Mac OS X - this means that you can install absolutely anything on your Mac!

Good job. I think install os x my laptop. Why use acronis? Ntldr not work?

Yeah. PC won't recognize Mac OS X so you need an OS selector to boot into it (unless you make OSX your primary OS, but who would do that?).

Sorry about the lack of sound and crappy quality, my digital camera sucks with videos.
