palmyrans Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I have tried for several hours with several different boot loaders on 3 different flash drives to get my Dell Latitude D630 to boot via USB . So far, all I am getting is the laptop to tell me a message to the effect of, "No Boot Sector on USB Device." It then tries to load Windows Vista, which displeases me severely. What do I need and what do I have to do to these USB flash drives to get them to have a boot sector and boot a boot loader? I am attempting to install OS X 10.6.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmyrans Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Chameleon... Installed with myHack v3.1.2 when you build your Snow Leopard USB installer. OK. Can you please give me some sort of instructions how to install this using a Windows machine? I do not have a working Mac install> I have been using TransMac 11.2 to install my isos and what not to my flash drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 7, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2015 From Windows? Never tried that. If you don't have a Mac or a hack, I can suggest you try Nawcom's ModCD. It's an ISO image you burn to CD/DVD and it creates a bootable Snow Leopard vanilla installer. You'll need the retail SL (restored) package on another DVD or USB key.
