Hi,

I am a new convert to mac. I have an older laptop that has Win XP on it 756 ram and a 60gb HDD. I am keep to eradicate all traces of microsoft from my life.

I went to the download site and picked up the iso. Put it on a disk. I keep getting problems installing. On boot it says something about cant access the display and stops as a kind of command prompt. Through windows I get the same prompt.

I have read all the instructions and they all say I should see the orange scroll bar which I do. Then I should get the map or where I am. There is where I fail

I have even tried the WUBI installer and got pretty much the same result.

Any advice would be great.
