you may not have burned the data correctly. how did you burn the DVD?
burning a DMG file means opening the DMG file, launching disk utility, selecting the INSTALLESD dmg file and instructing it to burn to DVD. this creates a bootable DVD. when all's finished, quit disk utility, eject the DVD, reload it. if a new window opens with install OS X then fine, that's one test. leave the DVD in the drive, restart, hold down the C key for a minute so that when the CD drive kicks in it gets up to speed and reads the volume, after that, the installer starts. lew On 10 Mar 2012, at 00:03, joseph wrote: > i did and after the dvd finished chiming i pressed command f5 to start > voiceover but no luck. all i get on screen is the apple logo. > > any thought? > On 9 Mar 2012, at 15:51, matthew Dyer wrote: > >> You need to hold it down til you hear the chime/.
