Hi,
Got bored of Windows crashing all the time and so I decided to try installing Mac OSX "Tiger" on my laptop. My friend gave me an install disc and when I boot up with it in, it says

"Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.122
191MB Memory
VESA v2.0 7MB (ATI MACH64)

Loading Darwin/x86"

It gives the option to do advanced boot... but i leave it to do a normal boot. Then has some more lines which I can't write down fast enough 'coz they disappear pretty quick- but there's something about a mach_kernel, then some HFS+ thing, then Drivers, then HFS+ again. Then it goes to a blank screen and does nothing...help anyone?

Is it something to do with the age of my laptop? (500MHz, 192MB ram, 8MB onboard graphics, 11GB HD) Or the fact its not actually a mac?

Thanks in advance,
-Joe
 
um... what you are doing is completely illegal, as well as being not supported by any mac techie anywhere. this goes against our board rules, and as such, we can't help you. if you are sick of windows, then replace that aging laptop with something a lot better. i'd suggest an ibook for £600.

as for the problem you are having, cease and desist etc. as a heads up, the rteson it won'twork is that it's only compatible with mac hardware. you are trying to run it on a pc. this is not possible.
 
Oh right... Ok then I won't be using that disc then! Thanks for telling me anyways... hmm I will consider the iBook although I'll probably wait 'till Vista comes out 'coz i don't wanna buy an iBook and then find Vista is gonna be like a million times better (I seriously doubt it will be, but still I can wish)..
