Thread: Hi all, total noob needs help HP DV7-2020

Hi all,

The last few days I've been searching and downloading so much trying everything. makin me depressed even.
As there is so much information online i just don't know where to begin.
Have seen so many tutorials tried so many diffrent things, you are my last resort.

I have a HP DV7 - 2020 EB
AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core processor QL-65 van 2,10 GHz - 4gig - Radeon HD4530

got the osx86modusb flash thing, when I prompt it it says BOOTMGR is missing ctrl+alt+del for restart.
If I skip the fashloader, it loads darwin but after 5command lines I get the error waiting for somethingsomething...
so doesn't work either.

I keep on reading posts of ppl who made it work, just want it to work for me too

Take a picture of the screen and place here...

Since I can't take a picture i'll just rewrite what it says..

Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132
4094MB memory
VESA v3.0 16MB (ATI ATOMBIOS)

Loading Darwin/x86
EFI enhanced bootloader build: ToH
Using SMBIOS table found at 0x000fe120
Using ACPI RSDP revision 2 found at 0x000fe020

When you reach this point, eject the BootCD, put your OS X Retail DVD, press F5 key to update the Bootloader, write "-v" without quotes and press ENTER...
