An interesting news. I’ll try to install iATKOS on a virtual machine build with VMware Workstation 6.

just type in “iatkos v1.0i” and you should find it. check the correct spelling, i first missed some letters and didn’t find it either.

But it’s damn slow isn’t it?

Does anyone have the direct link to the iso on mininova?

that was my question as well. Can this be installed on a system running Windows already as a dual boot system?

Question: is this very safe to do? Will it screw up my computer in unimaginable ways? Is its reversible? Thank you for reading this

Just a reminder to keep seeding the file after your done so it will download faster for all of us. 150kb/s for me right now.

What are these WLAN and sound issues?? Can they be fixed?

Are there any other ways to download the iso faster?
With the torrent i got it will take a long time. (1 kb/s at this moment)

is it original leopard or theme or demo version and will i be able to download softwares from apple.com and how can i change internet broadband changes please tell? and i also want to tell u that u have worked gr8 u r a genius ?

Hi,

Does anyone successfully installed this on their PC already running Windows XP. Also will it affect programs that were originally working on windows system?

Thank you for your help.

Amit- I think maybe you should get your general computing skills to a higher bar before trying something that is a little tricky, as this may prove to be. Any time you install a non-native OS you will probably be swimming in troubled waters.
Also, the best way to get help is to sit, breathe, and ponder your question before posting so it comes out in a legible manner. Thank you.

Karthik- Thanks for the guide, Im happy with ubuntu atm, but this is something I’ve been wanting to try for a while. Any chance we can get an article on extended compatibility? (i.e. battery usage, quirks, stability, etc)

Hey karthik kastury thanks for this man i have bin trying to get leopard to run on my pc for about a week now i hope it works. do u now if its on any private torrent site keep up the good work man.

Can you install this as dual boot with other OSs on the computer with a grub menu?

Loads of folks waiting for a seed.

Hi, great job on this and thanks for the torrent as well.

One question, do you have any idea whether or not my 8800GT 512mb video card will be supported under Leopard? I have serached but found no confirmation as of yet, just curious whether its worth installing it or not.

The d/l says it’s for SSE3 processors only, do you have anything out or planned that will work with SSE2 processors?

Thanks

BUY A MAC. WHY EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO RUN LEOPARD ON A PC? YOU BOUGHT THE DELL PIECE OF SHIZNIT. LIVE WITH IT.

Hey, can someone seed the file? I’m stuck at about 58%, and I think a lot of others are too. Thanks!

How about file system?! Fat32, NTFS or …

This is very cool. Just bought a macbook for my wife and I was wondering about doing the same thing on a spare pc I have. One question, will the patch/hack work if I was to try the OS X dvd that came with the macbook? I’m downloading the torrent now and it has 6 hours to go 175 kb/s.

The ISO should be 7.5 or 6 GB? because all the releases that i found are 6 or 7.5 GB…
And you said that Its about 2.09 GB…

what is iso dvd-r plz tell me?

Is there anyone that successfully downloaded the file?

What’s inside? Seems a zip file and only 2GB, where is the rest?

I downloaded the file, installed it on a Sony VGN-N365E laptop with core duo processor. I booted from cd, It showed dos errors for about 30 minutes then, started up OSX install. i had to reformat a partition on my HD for OSX extended journaled, The install completed and Leopard is running great, Wifi works, and its even faster than my Macbook 13 nch with the same processor. However, there is no sound and i MUST boot from the disc to get to the operating system. Afterwards i can eject the disc and use the mac as usual. The only other, small glitch i noticed was the tap to click on the touchpad not available and the battery bar doesnt exist. Besides that, great job on this OS!!!

@Yellow Snow

please, please seed again.

there are 30 seeds now….but the seeder:leecher ratio is hovering around .006 this number should be up around 1.00 and higher for a good, stable torrent.

The download speeds are great until ~86%…..based on my last post this number is good, i guess. It is up, which means someone is connected to a seed.

I am seeding, will continue for a few weeks

im at 89% downloading of speeds of about 0.1kb/s!!!!
this is ridiculous!!!
SEED
SEED
SEED!!!!
its the only way

*what rate are

speed - 0.01 kbs
slowly got to 90.4%

how many people installed allready?

Cmon guys plz seed. A lot of people are stuck on 93%. Why is it so slow after hitting that percentage?

4000 users currently stuck at 93.8%. I think the seeders need to get back on this.

from 4 seeds to 2 if that is not being selfish what is???

if i dont drink coffee, what do i do in the last part of step 1???

plzzzzzzzz help!!!! i really like this os!!! plzzzzz im desperate!!! thx!

if tea would do, plz let me know!

Someone please seed the torrent. There are hundreds of us sitting at 97.1% and we can’t progress with the download.

I intend to install on a p4 3.20 GHz SL7E5, can anyone tell me if the PC-EFI is going to work for me?I’m guessing it won’t but I’m not sure what implications that will have on my installation?

How much RAM can Leopard address and use? This used Intel D865GBF board can go to 4 Gig I believe, shoud I load it up? I never had more than 3 Gig in it because of 32 bit Windows inability to use more than 3.5.

Please, Please, Please more seeders…. I am at 97.6% and stuck….

By the way, has anyone confirmed whether or not this will work on a Pentium D? The processor specs are not clear about that.

There are probably no seeds because everyone is too busy reformatting their machines, or running osx in a different partition than the one they downloaded the torrent in.

Downloaded the torrent, burned the DVD, and restarted several times, only to be greeted by a box telling me I need to restart my computer. Googled it, and apparently it’s a Kernel Panic, which doesn’t help me much.

Is anyone else having this problem, or does anyone know how to fix it?

every time my computer starts to start up i hit f12 so i can boot from cd/dvd yet it still loads my computer like normal… and suggestions

update on above i after a little searching found that you have to respond immediately otherwise it tries to look for a non existent file.

unfortunately the dvd activity indicator only flashed a couple times and it is stuck on the spinning wheel and it never boots.

i forgot to mention there is only 256 meg of ram in the machine i wouldnt think that would cause any problems since the boot is very minimal and os x has an always on virtual memory.

okay, installed, then reboot (without installation disc) and nothing happens, just blank screen and _ symbol… any ideas?

Finished downloading it, First batch who reached 100%.. Still uploading, hope it works for my Asus Z96js Laptop.. Many Thanks to Eskurza, Upchuck and the guy who posted its instructions here.. Happy Holidays!

if anyone knows how to get around this prob. could you point me in the right direction. i can’t find anything about it.
cheers

Next step - if anyone else has problem with blank screen and cursor blinking - boot install disk, press f8 (in beginning, when asked) and type in boot parameters: “rd=disk0s1″ (without quotes).. this will boot you system using installation disc.

might be something wrong :/ i burned in linux

wait, windows says iso image is “2 621 407 232 bytes” big. if this is the same for you then you have to throw out bloated nero sht.

I installed it and it worked once. After restart I got a black screen with a blinking dash. i reinstalled and the same thing again.

Hey guys.
Just tried to install this. But when i get the screen where i have to choose with partition to install it too, there are no partitions, or drives if u wish, shown. Do many more people have this problem, anyone have a solution? Please let me know

Strange it only works if i leave the disk in and wait for the time to run out. then it boots mac from the hd.

pc is a compaq c500 laptop

i install and then it tells me to restart and when i restart it brings me right back to the install screen.. what am i doing wrong

TO IAN

I had the same problem on my P4 Pressie and Asus Mobo. I tried it on my brothers Dell and got it to install. The problem is it’s not booting, it starts reading from the drive and just hangs…

FYI!!! –heads up, there is a black hat that tried to get into my server…. Had to kill the seed, Keep your eyes open, they are probably using IP addresses out of their torrent client. I may consider seeding again later but for now keep your eyes open! Who ever it was was trying to do some serious damage to my system.

huh garg zzzzzz

I downloaded, seeded for a while, and will some more. Then I successfully burned CD, although at high (18X) speed. I was able to boot, got to the load screen, but when I followed the directions and started to erase a partition, it hiccuped–it wasn’t able to load the partition, because the format was wrong. This was an old linux installation I don’t use anymore, I think it’s in reiserfs, but maybe ext3. Anyway, I’m going to use GParted to reformat the drive, and then I will proceed with the installation.

hello Guys it is happening the same to me I have a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P mobo, I am burning iATKOS to DVD-R and when I boot nothing happens as if there was no CD.

before burnng iatkos to DVD do you have to extract it to another program or just burn it as is?

Thanks again guys

Why isnt it starting up? Ive burnt it to the dvd fine and done a fresh install on a 40 Gb hard drive. It boots up but theres nothing showing up. I mounted the drive in Kubuntu and YES the files seem to be there so while isnt it booting?

Mother Broad: Asus P5B-VM
Hard disk: SATA2, 280G

Installation program cannot detect my hard disk (SATA2), only hard disk using ATA can be detected. However, my mother broad do not support system boot from ATA hard disk.

Does the installation support SATA2 hard disk?

hi guy problem solved I would recomend using Magiciso

not for me, it keeps rebooting i cant even get in to apples logo, it says darwin loads and…. REBOOT, any ideas?

after some work i found that it may be a bad mother board because while the in staller for the uphuck version of 10.4.9 booted the hard drive was not being recognized.

and so i tried it in a hp pavilion 500 intel celeron cpu.

and the dvd started to boot and gave a kernel panic for 10.4.9 and leopard would not work either.

are i know that celerons are intel but do they act like amd’s?

France, i have the same problem, i have tried “rd=disk0s1″ but after it, keeps on telling me that I should restart.

i have the same prob. in leopard, my pc keeps rebooting after it says Darwin Loads. but in tiger i can’t find my SATA hard drive in disk utility.

Is there any solution….???

I Have Not Tried This Yet But I Am Really Looking Forward To A AMD Dual-Boot With The Vista Boot-Loader (If This Will Ever Be Possible)

Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66 GHz Q6700 Processor
Gigibyte GA-X38-DQ6 Motherboard
Geforce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Video Card

I have installed iATKOS though I am unsure if I’ve selected the right configuration settings. I’ve tried several configurations, none seem to boot fully. The closest I can get is booting off the hard disk (but only if the leopard disc is in the CD tray), loading most of Leopard, and coming to a screen that states I must restart my machine. Without the disc in the tray, Bios checks for CD boot, drops down one line, and sits with a blinking cursor indefinately.

to dima:

thanks.. i solved it last night. problem was that i couldnt control mouse pointer to access menus. it just started working one time. pretty random actually.

i got this release intalled ok but it would not boot up. it would simply boot into the installer every time regardless how i booted (letting it time out. hitting any key, or F8 option. ive now successfully installed uphuck 10.4.9 release.

problem is now finding drivers for my acer aspire 5710 as i have no sound, no LAN, no wireless.

We need seeders PLEASE! My first two day download was corrupted, now I’m on my second try stuck at 99.83%!

oh no anyone still have 3.75MB ….. 98 % have someone seed the file !?? MANY THANKS!!!

When i try to install it just restarts my comp. like it says to press a button to install Leopard then i press but when its loading my computer restarts. what do i do

I can see 38 peers online on this Torrent, and everyone was sitting on 99.83%. I see it for hte last 7 hours. Can anyone with good ISO image connect to the Torrent, please?

Hi, i was wondering if you know of a 1 step process to install tiger. I dont want to mess around with leopard till it gets better, stability wise, and i need it to work on an amd. So e-mail me with info, or comment here.
Thanks!

ok when i take out the disk after installtion i wait for it to start up and all i get is the blinking underscore anyone can help??

How do i know all of my PC parts are going to work with Leopard? Do you think i will have any problems? i have a Biostar motherboard.

Thanks,
Keyur

1(1) Downloading 0(0) seeding. Oh come ON.

for those having trouble downloading search for it on BTJunkie not MiniNova - the one on MiniNOva doesn’t seem to have any completed copies while the BTJunkie one should come down in under three hours (at least thats what it did for me)

now if i could just figure out how to double boot this sucker

ok i have the mac osx installed…then on the startup screen it asks to transfer files… and i say no thank you.. then it takes a little while to load then just goes back to the welcome screen idk what to do or how to fix this

hi,my brother have one mac mini with Leopard.so is there any patch that i can use my brother Leopard DVD on my Intel pc without downloading iATKOS.

Instalation completed Sucess full whats is the activation key of this version. plz tell me. its saying 60 days trail version.

ok is anyone haiving a porblem with the keyboard like me?? it wont let me type anything so i cant regitser it to start it… did i do somehting wrong??

Well I’m trying to install as well, been trying a few diffferent set ups, like kalaway, and brazil patch. So i see a LOT of people posting problems and nobody saying they got this working, this a bunk walk-through? i dont wanna be a jerk but i’m seeing a lot of common problems with no solutions which leads me to belive the authors don’t really care for it. well ill keep trying to figure this out for a bit and post results.

@Najlaa

Same problem here too

Leopard X64 for AMD X2 processors…??? any plans..?

Karthik Kastury I know you are busy with your exams an all..
But a lot of people are having problems with this release and it would be right if you could, as well as anyone else who has successfully managed to install this OSX, to take a minute and explain to others how to BURN and INSTALL it properly.. Thanx in advance!
And yes I am waiting for your guide on how to Multi-Boot this release.
Merry Christmas!

I am going to buy a new pc with these hardware:

INTEL CORE2 DUO E6750
ASUS P5K
KINGSTON DDR-2 800 1G x 2
WESTERN WD2500AAJB
LEADTEK WINFAST PX8600GT TDH 512M

I am going to install windows xp on it and will it be able to install Leopard on this computer as well as secondary OS?

many thanks

Ok, after 36 hrs of repartitioning/erase/reinstalling…This is what I did

To people who is getting the darwin start but keep rebooting problem…
iAtkos EFI does not support Pentium D proceesor on my case, so after I reinstall Leo without EFI but with speedstep…it is working now.

hope this helps =)

Ok I downloaded vmware and tried installing it through there. whell this is what it states. *** Virtual machine kernel stack fault (hardware reset) ***
The virtual machine just suffered a stack fault in kernel mode. On a real computer, this would amount to a reset of the processor. It can be caused by an incorrect configuration of the virtual machine, a bug in the operating system, or a problem in the VMware Workstation software. Press OK to reboot virtual machine or Cancel to shut it down.

Also This Popped Up:System Config File ‘/com.apple.boot.plist’ not found

I download the file the one with the bootloader is that the right one I put the dostk in the drive I get the apples logo but that is all any ide ?

Hi 2geta!
I installed this Mac OS X put i cant start it! i could installed it put when i start ther is nothing only black screen! why please help!
greez Patrick

I installed leopard, it works beautifully, however, leopard does not seem to recognize my wireless, it says “no airport card installed”, nor does it recognize the Ethernet when it is plugged in, does anyone have the same problem? is there a solution?

Still confused does this really work

Just installed Leopard over my existing dual-boot Vista/OSX 10.4.9 system, leopard installed fine, but when I come to register, I select location and keyboard, but then it won’t let me get past the “time machine” backup/restore screen. In the old install I could quit the registration process by pressing Alt+Q (aka Apple+Q) but this one refuses (shut down or continue). Any ideas? I just press continue without restoring and it dumps me back to the first screen again (pick location). Cheers guys.

when i download it, appears many files:
BOOT.
BOOT.CAT
BOOT0.
BOOT1H.
BOOT1U.
BOOTEFI.
BOOTHELP.TXT
CDBOOT.
CHAIN0.

i dont find the iso file please help

For anyone trying to download this iso, don’t use the mininova torrent all of the downloads stick at 99.81%. Use the isohunt torrent, it’s got plenty of seeders at 100%. This is the third try at downloading this, and had I known this before, it would have saved me a ton of waiting.

Now for the install in about an hour.

I had successfully downloaded the iATKOS version of Leopard and the version that uses the three step process with the patch. In both cases I wind up with a blinking cursor on a black screen and it never boots.
I tried all of the suggested fixes which included using the GParted Live CD to set the boot flag and the other ideas which included using the terminal mode on the install DVD iso and entering the Unix commands to make the partition active. I was attempting this install on an attached USB drive.All to no avail. While I would have liked to have gotten this OS working I began to wonder why. Probably for the thrill of getting something for nothing that otherwise cost upwards of $125 and for the joy of hacking.
But to be practical I know a better way to achieve the security of a Unix (LInux) environment without all of the hassles this Leopard install has caused me (Over 48 hours of trial and errors). I downloaded the latest version of PCLinux and had it working in less than 1 hour !
Sound, ethernet , video, internet, and the security of Linux.
Hats off to anyone who can get this hacked version of Leopard to work
on an intel PC. But PCLinux works just fine on any system that has
come out in the last 5 years or so.

Anyone see what I see? First posts were full of shear excitement! You poor depraved windows users were finally going to get Leopard. The next series of posts were impatient pirates eagerly waiting for this luscious OS. And now, the posts are all distress calls. . .pleading for help. “Install Leopard on your PC in JUST ONE STEP.” For me it was one easy step. I bought the leopard disc put it in my Macbook and voila, I installed Leopard. Apparently you all want what Apple has to offer. Just man up and get one, you won’t be dissatisfied.

@ TOM
as far as i understood this topic you only can boot leopard when its the only os installed (so you would have to remove windows).
I have 2 HDDs in my notebook so i tryed it with only one of them and it worked, but at the registration my keyboard didn’t work so i couldn’t continue.
I think we all shoud wait for a “better”, newer release which is more simple to install and works better.

I succeded install on Dell Optplex 755 with Doual Core 2 and 1G.
Also need change boot disk like others done with “rd=disk0s1″.
Now I need to operate network (Without success now).

I downloaded the file in 7 hrs. Got the torrent from mininova and used Azeurus. Do you think this will work on a 3.0 P4? 2 gb Ram…PC3200, PNY GeForce 6800 Ultra… or too outdated you think? I may have to back up my primary rig and try it on there… Let me know what you think…

Hey Macaliscious,

If Apple had of brought out leopard ages ago then maybe we would have got a mac. I say maybe too because the price of them is outrageous.
Have a look at the upgrade price of the macbook pro to get the ram upgraded from 2gig to 4gig. $1000. A freekin $1000. Thats an entire laptop brand new from the shop.
Maybe if the Macs weren’t so friggen expensive more people would buy them.

Will this make me able to run Leopard on my Mac, through Parallels or VMWare? / Thanks
