Thread: Installing Snow Leopard on my PC

So I got a Medion pc with a very unknown motherboard.

MEDION AKOYA P7316
Motherboard: MSI MS-7616
CPU: i7-870 2.93 GHZ
GPU: Sapphire ATI HD 6870
USB 3.0
300n Wireless Network card
650W XFX PSU
8GB RAM
1TB HDD
40GB SSD

So I got a partition from my HDD from GB to install snow leopard on. I got a Empire EFI CD. I got a torrent downloaded OS X Snow Leopard CD ONLY to test if I get to the installation screen. Because otherwise I will buy a Snow Leopard copy for nothing and that seems like a waste to me. Problem is I dont get to the installation screen. It gets some weird error and keeps repeating it. I tried to do those settings in my BIOS but I cant find the settings. It seems that my BIOS is different than the video tutorials etc. I cant seem to find the settings to. And I have no idea how to customize the Empire efi cd. Can anyone help?

I got the same experience at first.
Use BootCDMaker.app to make ur own customize bootcd. U will need someone else hackintosh or a mac to run this app.
U can easly find tutorial on google. Option 4 u can make 2 kinds of bootcd. The legacycd worked for me.

You need a BootCD compatible with SandyBridge processors...
