Optiplex 745........ can't boot from drive (snow leopard)
d196er replied to d196er's topic in The Archive
Herve, thank you very much for the info...!! I got a hold of a radeon hd4350. I'm not sure how compatible it will be with this set up but I've already found some info about installation and available kexts. My biggest question about my situation is: Why can I only boot from the legacy iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded)??? Even when I try to boot from the usb I created from myhack, still, can't boot.....! If I boot from iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded), I can see the usb I created from myhack and I can install SL. Does the fact that I'm using a Pentium D processor have any effect on the bootloader loading from iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) instead of my sata drive?? By the way, I have updated to boot loader multiple time through chameleon wizard Once again, I really appreciate all the help....!! -

I did use the 745's EDP. The bios only has Normal or Legacy option for SATA (no AHCI option)and it's set to legacy. -
Hello All, I'm new to the site and new to the hackintosh experience. After getting me hands into a optiplex 745 I decided to give my first Hackintosh a go. Optiplex 745, Small factor, Pentium D 2.9GHZ, and I'm using the Integrated Graphics that came with the board. BIOS is 2.6.6, and I have set the SATA to legacy. So far, the only boot loader that works in this machine is iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) (booting from usb with myhack or sata drive wih chameleon) I follow the directions found on your installation documentation. But I could not boot from the USB no matter what. Finally I tried using iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) and I was able to complete installation from the usb I created from myhack + EDP. After install, still, I was unable to boot from SATA drive. I can boot into drive with iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded), almost everything works but the abiltiy to adjust resolution. After checking the system info, the integrated graphics is not recognized by the system. When I try to boot from drive, It hangs at the grey apple logo, (with the osxlatitude logo). I tried booting -v, but after a few lines the screen goes black. I also tried single user mode with the same result. I've tryied addingn the IOATAFamily Kext to E/E + running myfix. Same issue. I also tried to changing settings to the chameleon boot file with chameleon wizard (graphics enabler: yes/no). Any Ideas??? Thank you for your time..!!
