lalomir Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 OK, So I worked around the MyHack Bug with SnowLeopard USB by restoring the original install disk to the USB drive using Disk Utility. Then, as someone noted, I ran MyHack and installed extras, chameleon, and utilities, everything ran normally. Upon connecting the USB drive in the computer I get the Apple logo, the "waiting" dashed circle, and after a while a "forbidden sign" appears at the stem of the Apple. USB activity ceases and there is nothing more I can do. Can anyone shed some light on this? I created the thumb drive in an OSX 10.6.8 native mac and trying to install in a Lenovo S400. Thanks.

Administrators Bronxteck Posted March 26, 2014 Administrators Share Posted March 26, 2014 you need to boot with -v to further diagnose the issue. adding -x might also help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalomir Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hi Bronxteck Still no dice.... Any other suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalomir Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Did I mention I'm still trying to boot from the USB drive, right? I can now say that I have a "Sandy Bridge" processor Intel Core i3. I read somewhere that it does not work with Snow Leopard, is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted April 13, 2014 Administrators Share Posted April 13, 2014 could be a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
