Administrators Hervé Posted November 28, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 28, 2012 There are ways, you would find several methods with a little Google help... A D430 will run Snow Leopard and Lion, the former performing better on that small machine in my opinion. Now, in the case of Snow Leopard, you can use Nawcom's ModCD to install a retail version of SL. It's an ISO image that you download off Nawcom's blog (or other dedicated spaces like OSX86.net) and that you burn to CD to get a bootable SL installer package. By default, ModCD uses a legacy kernel, but it nevertheless gets you to a Snow Leopard installation. That can be kept and fine-tuned with our EDP tool or considered as a temporary base from which you then create a myHack installer to get the OSXL-supported full vanilla (mach kernel) installation, whether SL or Lion. So, in summary, Nawcom's ModCD + retail Snow Leopard (DVD or USB key) will get you going/started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted November 29, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 29, 2012 Mmm, what you need is a retail DVD version as that includes all installer files. Anything else will probably fail. I take it you did not get something like a dual-layer DVD that your D430 wouldn't read, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rboino Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 the dvd that he give me it´s for Mac pro Series , i think it because that.. i don´t know.. i give it today the cd´s and a 16gb usb disk to make me a install with ihack that i readed in this site. Maybe works :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 2, 2012 Administrators Share Posted December 2, 2012 usually model specific install media do not work. retail does however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
