For the BIOS I have USB legacy enabled, everything UEFI is disabled.


When I put in Iboot, I can type things, I tried -v and then put the LEGIT copy of Snow Leopard (bought it from the apple store) and I can still type. It is just when I hit F5 that It freezes up on me. All I can do it reboot it and try is again. I have tried using the FN key as well when I hit F5. There has been a few online forums about them hackentoshing their laptop (same as mine) and they get it to work. The only thing that doesn't really work on it is the 3.0 usb ports and wifi (I have a USB wifi thing in the mail. No big deal.)


I have been searching the past 9 hours, still not able to figure out what I am doing wrong. I have burnt multiple disks, had a friend burn on his computer, and tried using an external keyboard with an external CD drive. Still no luck.


My Fedora Live CD works perfectly, so I know it doesn't have anything to do with my boot order or that.


This is so frustrating.


EDIT: I have also tried both Iboot and IBoot Ivy (my processor is ivy bridged)
