Hello all,

This is my first post here !

I decided to try mac world so I searched here and there to get a copy of mac which works on all systems !

I downloaded an iATKOS v7 version and I started the installation !

But the problem is as follows..

When I reboot my machine and start the installation a message will come press Enter to boot from CD\DVD and F8 to advance startup !

Everything good so far and I press Enter key to start the installation and another message will come Loading Darwinx86 or something like that and after 5 seconds Apple logo will appears and Boom Restart !!! Every time it is like this as soon as Apple logo in the beginning of installation comes reboot will follow !!

What's the problem ?!!

I tried the same copy of Mac on HP Compaq 6710b and everything runs smooth till the Mouse, Keyboard is required screen !! But in my PC installation doesn't start at all !! All I see is Apple logo for 1 sec and Restart !

I want it to work on My PC what should I do ?!

My M/B (Asus P5QL-E) is supported in the HCL list..

Processor Also Intel Core 2 Duo E8400

Is it because of my Geforce GTX 260 Graphics Card ?!??

Please help me !

Try with retail

try like this:
-after pressing F8 key type: -x32 cpus=1

Hello. I had the same trouble.
Thanks to ringo_yuki I could continue installation after typing the string
-x32 cpus=1
I've got ASUSTek motherboard with Intel Core 2 Quad (4 cores). So I have a question: will Mac OS X be able to work with my all 4 cores after installation or I will have to manage without other 3 cores? If so I don't see any advantages to install such system on the PC.
I also tried to start installation with typing 2 and 4 instead 1 in the "-x32 cpus=..." string.
