Hi guys. This might be more trouble than it's worth but I'll ask anyway. How hard would it be to create a custom install DVD? Here's why I'm asking. I'm putting together a custom PC that has an incompatible integrated graphics chip. I'm talkin grey fuzz to the point that I can' read text at all. I'm in the process of buying a geforce fx5200 PCI card to remedy this. I have a 40GB partition with XP on it and I have a 80GB partition (first on disk) that I am trying to load OSX onto. I was thinking that I could put together an install DVD with the appropriate nvidia driver preinstalled so I can see what I'm doing during the installation process. I've tried to install with VMware but I can't find a way to set up my partitions correctly resulting in both OSX and XP not booting. I have Acronis DD but I'm not sure what settings I need to get things going properly. I'm hoping a custom install DVD would allow me to just do a native install and eliminate all this other stuff.


Any suggestions?

Why PCI and not AGP ?

If it is b/c of the motherboard, find a new one that can handle your cpu and has agp or even pcie.

it's PCI because of the motherboard. I already built another hackintosh for myself with a compatible mobo. I took my leftover components and am trying to get a dual boot together for my dad. If this is impossible then I'll have to just keep it as a windows box, but I am hopeful that OSX can be installed.
