Just got my S10 a few days ago and wanted to try the OS X experiment. I put a new hard drive in the unit and downloaded MSIwindosx86. When I double clicked on the file, it opened Nero and made a DVD. Problem is the S10 won't boot from it. I'm using a IBM USB DVD drive. The drive is set to boot first, and the unit glances at the drive then stops. It will boot a Windows install disk fine, so the drive works. It also does the fails to start with a retail DVD of OS X. What am I missing? Seems all folks have trouble with is the finishing touches. I can't get started!

Weird problem... try other software to burn your disk? I used disk utility in osx to burn my copy of miswindosx..
If your s10 is booting the windows disk then it will msiwindosx... the disc you made just doesn't seem to be bootable...
