what’s the search criteria on mininova.org to found the correct iso image for install with this steps??

Thanks in advance.

Hi! very good news, but i have just one question: are the sound and wlan troubles solved?
greetings from austria

Question? Can i partition some drive space on windows vista and install the dvd on the new drive space or do i have to format my entire drive (remove vista) then install leopard?

I have a P4 3.0G PC. Can I install Leoopard on it using your DVD image? Thanks.

“Question? Can i partition some drive space on windows vista and install the dvd on the new drive space or do i have to format my entire drive (remove vista) then install leopard?”

Hey, I am in the process of downloading this. However, from previous experiences with other releases, it is possible. I don’t see why not with this version.

Attempting to download file now.
I’m an abseloute newbie and am wondering if this will work on my system (Dell D830 laptop) especially cause we use LanDesk at school for software distribution and I am using the Wave security suite for the fingerprint reader.
But I guess I’ll find out

will it harm my proccessor and will i be able to install xp again on my pc?

i simply have to download iATKOS AND BURN IT INTO A DVD AND POP INTO DVD READER IN MY PC & FROM BIOS CHANGE SETTINGS THATS IT OR ANYTHING MORE ???

if i am having core2duo processor with 512mb will i be able to install it on my pc please reply i will be very thankful to u ?

so, your telling that its just install Leopard like you install Win XP?
or the version that mininova have is different that the “standard version” ?

PS; sorry the bad english..

I have a P4 3.0Ghz, so… “Non Core Intel Processors, no PC-EFI for you.” Would I be able to install Leopard without PC-EFI?

if you continue with this posts the next step would be…leopard preinstaled in my pc?

Christ man, just try it.

Hey Karthik, jus wanna say a huge huge well done to you and your team for creating such a wicked hack! am in process of downloading it now, has it been tested on SSE2 processors yet? or is it strictly for SSE3 only right now? cheers mate,

oh yeah, have the sound and WLAN probs been solved in this release??

Is the Pentium D a Core based processor? I want to say it is, as it does indeed have two cores, but just making sure.

Can’t I buy a new Leopard DVD from Mac and install it on my Core 2 Duo processor laptop?

/* insert obligitory piracy warning here */

You shouldn’t really be downloading Leopard without paying for it. It’s illegal. Go buy a copy of Leopard instead!

/* end obligitory piracy warning */

Thanks for the great guide.
But a dual boot guide would be even better…
So please, is there any page about dual booting Windows XP and this latest release of Mac OS X?
Thanks

we need more seeds guys. 61% is about the limit everyone has reached.

*3* seeds and 3900 peers.

just waiting on 67%, people seed please

Hi everyone!To download Leopard I’m using Deluge bit torrent client for Ubuntu…it goes pretty fast (it reaches 250 kB/s sometimes), and makes even possible to pause/restore the download…

Let’s hope to have a full Leopard working for Christmas!

Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 (2,33 GHz, 4 MB L2 cache, 1333 FSB)
2 GB DDRII 667 MHz

3 seeders
4185 leechers!

I’m stuck at 85,4%… anyone knows a better way to download this???

paulo you should get a better computer i am allready at 85.8%
(way ahead of you)
just kidding, why people do not seed?!

well i just want to know if i can run this on my laptop that have a core2duo T5500 @ 1.66Ghz and i have 1.5 Gb of RAM with Integrated graphics card of intel 950

i run now microsoft windows vista home premium, but if can run os x, i will change with no doubt.

thk.
plz answer my question.
bye

Hey guys, thanks again for this great hack. With the torrent, thank you Yellow Snow, and others seeding, but we need more seeds. Right now we have 0/33 seeds on, (3 in swarm). And 4900 leechers -.- Everyone is stuck at 89%, if a seed could come on and get some of us to 100% we could get atleast another 15 seeders from my peer list. The download is going pretty good, I’m getting around 600kB/s 40% done, and I’ll full force seed once I got it downloaded.

@yellow snow

if you don’t mind me asking. What are rate are you uploading to the community? maybe you could do a dedicated upload tonight. Only upload this torrent and use your full upload bandwidth. A good nights upload will for sure take care of the seed shortage. many will only need an hour or two to get 100% of this torrent.

If my file would get any farther than 89.9% I would be glad to continue seeding the file after it was finished. *sigh* I’m currently uploading at 50kBps which is a hell of alot more than I’m able to download which usually sits anywhere between 0.1 to 0.5kBps. If I ever get to 100% I’ll increase my upload speed. In the meantime I obviously need to download the rest of the file from somewhere so — You know who you are. If your file is at 100% that dosent mean stop the file and close the window. It helps if you seed for a while after your downoad has completed.

I’m at 92%/4 kbs been that way for hours…

Thanks Karthik! It would’ve taken me AT LEAST a week of research to find this stuff and figure out how to use it on my own. I’m very grateful!!!

I just guessing but this will run without any problems on my powerbook g4 tiger 10.4.11. Just let me know if I’m wrong.

1. what was my question as well. Can this be installed on a system
running Windows already as a dual boot system?
2. Is its reversible? Thank you for reading thisIs its reversible?
3. will i be able to install xp again on my pc?

Pease evrybody… seed
i’am ok to seed, just tell me how to do because i don’t know
53% ; 110Kb/ss

i found 2 torrent in mininova, one downloaded 14.4% at 250KBPS and second one downloaded 16% at 150KBPS, but now i see that everybody stock at 97.1%…

SEED, people SEED please!!

I was getting 1.1 MEGAbytes per second until it died at 97.76%…

Can someone please answer sunny’s question?

Also….whats the difference between iAtkos and Kalyway? Can you dual boot with Vista?

Thanks in advance
Dima

Hey guys did it actually work for anyone? I booted it up and my computer keeps restarting when its trying to load the kernel.

i got it burned and i get “system config file /com.apple.boot.plist not found.

i downloaded the first image i saw.

i am trying to install on a pentium 4 1.6 ghz based pc

I`m sitting at a coffee table, enjoying while my laptop is at 50% of installing.. Hope this will finish as well..

And you guys – my router is still seeding this famous iATKOS 3:3000 torrent

Ok, I just checked the files progress. I’m at 100% and I’ll continue to seed for a while. My maximum upload is set to unlimited and I plan to keep it that way for a little while since its running on my server. I hope this helps, enjoy!

I can’t actually unzip this. I’ve tried on LInux and Windows with no joy. I got a 100% download. Has anyone else experienced a corrupted download?

ive d/l’d and burnt iso. everything seems fine until i must choose destination for installation. no hard drive present for selection. will keep you up to date with any breakthroughs.

seeding at 40 kBps btw.

got it seeding right now setting to unlimited, enjoy

the file after unzip is 2,44 GB when i burn it using nero 7 it shows that the dvd is only 542 KB used, when i boot from the dvd it says loading darwing and then just reboots again into windows, help any one???

HELLO ALL, well i finish download but now how to a burn this iso with program i need to use? please help me thks

Downloaded it, burned, seems to be the real thing. On VirtualPC, I get to the “apple logo” screen – then it crashes. On Vmvare Worskation 5, I get an error message. Any ideas? Maybe that’s because I am trying on an AMD box. I have access to a P4 and a Core, but only in a few days… ;-(

hey ian. did you burn the iso image? unzip the “.iso” which in WINRAR and burn the resulting iso as an image. you can use MAGICISO for that.

i finally got the pc to boot unfortunately it is the uphuck 10.4.9 that booted.

looks like a botch up was dun to the latest because at 2 gig it is not big enough to hold the startup files.

is it just a upgrade that is meant to be installed from the current session without rebooting or is it meant to be bootable by it’s self.

or is it a full retail bootable?

i agree with JT what do we do if the apple logo and a white screen show up but thats it. it just starts over?

does this work on virtual machine (vmware)?

When booting this is what happens…

Ebios read error:0xbb
Block 4303672 Sectors 64

Dell XPS 400
Dual core Pentium D 2.80GHz
1.00GB of RAM

Torrent was downloaded as a .Zip and extracted with no errors and then burned to disk with Nero 7.2.3.2. On the first boot at would make it to the APPLE splash page…wait about 3 minutes and then reboot…Any ideas?? Thanks.

As a side note the disk has a total of 9 files on it and the size is below.

Size 183 KB (188,386 bytes)
Size on disk 192 KB (196,608 bytes)

AUDIOSONIC: I had the same problem, in that screen goto Utility: disk utility and create a new partition, i ended up deleting my old one to create a new one. If this doesn’t help, ill try to walk you through it..

@JANCIS

Hope someone can help me.. ATi X1600 vcard..

Oh boy…=C the rd=disk0s1 technique only worked once.. after restarting Mac keeps on telling me that I should restart my machine.. How sad..

Hey, I seem to have some problems…
My computer boots to the Darwin loader, and I press enter to start the insallation process. Darwin loads, then the apple screen pops up for a fraction of a second, then my computer reboots. I have tried it with XP installed, without XP installed, and even with a different HDD. Here’s my specs for you to see.

Dell XPS 720
Intel Core 2 Quad
Dual nVidia 8800 GTS 712MB

Hope you guys can help me, because I REALLY want to use Final Cut Pro on my XPS. Shoot me an e-mail or post here if you have any answers. THANKS!

I’ve been stuck at 98.8 % for two days. If some one could help for a little bit it would be appretiated.

I’ve tried in a virtual machine. It loads from DVD, ask me to press enter, display loading, display blank screen with apple (not even one second) and start back from the beginning… Counseling?

Oh please, please someone seed. 99.8%… 13 peers, 0 seeds… Two tenths of a percent away… So close I can TASTE it…

is anyone able to do this on a machine already running XP without losing everything? i only have access to my Sony VAIO at the moment and do not want to lose all the programs that came with it…

to anyone who has tried to install: Did you install on a computer already running windows? also, after trying to install, were you able to boot back up in windows (without having to reinstall it)?

thanks for the help!

How much partition space do you think I need?

u can download this on emule in 1 day. and it on works on sse3 machines… i tried

http://apple4.us/images/2007/iATKOS-v1.0i.torrent

I have a Intel q6700 Will that still work with this?? Its more than a dual core and i dont know itll work right

Well, I tried to install this on one of my PCs, and it just got “stuck” on this screen when I tried.

http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/2654/p2212072011wz7.jpg

I left it on overnight! If anyone knows what I’ve done wrong, I’d be VERY grateful. For the recored, this is the first thing that comes up. It asks you before if you want to install Mac OS X, you press Enter to agree. Then it goes to this screen, and in my case, fails to do anything else.

@Najlaa

Same problem here

Please someone seed the file just for an hour! I’ve downloaded 99,8%, but there is no seeder for the rest 0,2%. Once I download it, I will continue seeding the torrent, but first I need this 0,2%! Thanks!

99.8%, 0.4kb/s. Seed people! XD

I’ll leave it on for the next 72 hours or so, so everyone else can get to here. Those with the full download, please, share.

just go to isohunt.com and the first torrent went very well to me. I downloaded it in about 2 hours

now.. i’m having problems instaling it!
when the white window with the aplle shows.. i ear some noise from the DVD.. and then it stops, and the computer restarts after a litle while!
and when i press F8 when it ask me to, i write “rd=disk0s1″ and a window appears telling me to press restart button or power button for a while, because it need to restart.
i tried to write “-v” when i press F8 and a lot of lines with things written appears, and then the last one is:
“ERROR: Firewire – unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure”
and then.. it stays there for about 15seconds and then restarts again!

does anyone have the same problem? or have any idea of what am i doing wrong?
need some help, plz

Thanks

^ Same as above ^

When i try to install it just restarts my computer. It says to press a button to install Leopard then i press but when its loading my computer restarts. Any help would be great.

One of these torrents where removed from mininova. But i found it on isohunt, which has thousands of seeders!

ok that issue solved….now i cant type with my keyobaord and i cant register it to use it!!

Hello, the iAtkos run , but there is a little problem the osx only start tu run with the DVD inside the computer, what i need make for dont need the DVD to run Leopard on my PC? thanks!!

If Leopard is installed can BootCamp be used to install Windows XP?

Can Leopard read FAT32 or NTFS formated drives? I was thinking of having one drive with pictures and music that booth OS can read.

Josh

is anyone haveing a porblem with the kayboard? it wont let me type.. so i cant go through tthe startup process.

not sure if your having the keyboard problem at the darwin boot process, but i had the same problem, got the darwin to run by using the good old copy and paste. so i’m going through installation right now and crossing my fingers

i looked at the info in the advanced options and it said something about security and reverting to something. my computer is completely wiped and im trying to install
i really need help!
it seems lots of people have been having the same problems

It didnt recognize my LAN and WIFI cards.

I also tried loading it from grub menu (linux loader) and it did get past startup screen (apple with round loader), then it shows blue screen like background and thats it..

but guys.. i tried using it with cd boot method i described and enjoyed it for ~15 minutes.. you know what? – i got this feeling like i have to have macbook with that cute apple on cover by itself and put on ubuntu linux.. because my ubuntu is more handy and it has more features.. i like the way i can customize it and it has more eye candy..

oh well so much for it, you guys go on and try, i`ve made my decision.. actually i just need that cute looking laptop not os.. linux is far more good already.. later it will be even better

The iso is no supported in every pc platform. I tried some old and new pc’s and I succeeded only on two machine.

I have followed the directions several times now to instill Leopard on my pc, however every time i turn my comp on, go to BIOS to start my computer from my cd-rom drive, it seems to work for a few seconds and then windows starts, I have no idea why it is doing this, is there a reason? a solution? I apologize if the answer is mundane, id just really like to get leopard working.

I Have A Problem Trying To Install Also. I am using hp pavilion zx5280.
Specs: P4 3.20GHZ W/HT
80 Gig Hdd,
1 gig Kingston Value Ram

I have Noticed that leopard is 64 bit. That can be part of the problem since alot of older processeors are not 64 bit capable. Have download via mininova. burned at 5,540kbs using magic iso. Also This Is A laptop I am Using.

When I just let it boot on its own it gets to apple screen then reboots.
When I use advanced options and type -v it loads hfs a few times then restarts. Idk what the problem is. if anyone can help thanxs. I will be buying a macbook soon anyways but whant to c if it worth the money

NAJLAA you are not alone i have the same problem with the iatkos dvd so i grabbed the tiger version (i think it is the uphuck release and it booted the installer and installed but then the os could not boot from the hard drive it was stuck on the blank screen.

hopefully someone will patch and build a full live dvd that will run on any pc by using generic code that is not cpu specific (no need for builds for amd,pentium,celeron,etc.)

Most of the hanged proccess issues have been resolved with iATKOS_v1.0ir2, at the moment there is no ISO image created, but there is a patch for the 1.0i version.

Note, most of the torrents presented on this thread, do not comply with the original md5 tracker of the Patched DVD. I cannot verify the validity of the tors presented herein, hence, if there is anyone using them, leave your comments here please.
intend to do the same in a couple of hours, patching and installing the iATKOS on a Nocola dual Xeon, under a Precision 470 Dell workstation.
Merry Xmas.

Hey

does someone know why the difference between de 6gb retail version and the 2.09iatkos iso??

to add onto my last post, it seems that although leopard is working, the operating system does not recognize any of my hardware, usb drives internet etc… only my cd rom drive. is there a reason why this could be happening? please inform me of a solution.
thanks

People, Let’s seed plz！
i am 99.8% done and the download speed turn to 0.1KB/s
Come On

HAHA! i’m downloading at 550kb/s constantly! it only took me about 1 hour to get it!

Well, i was also downloading from a private torrent site

does anyone know i/ and when this will come out for amd processors???

share the wealth dude… i can’t seem to download it, can’t connect to the torrent server…

i got a question, does this install disc come with the whole ilife suite?

The Darwin/x86 kernel loads but after that my computer keeps rebooting.

2 ideas for you all:

1. There may be a problem with SLi nvidia cards.

2. There may be a problem with RAID arrays.

If any of you have this working with EITHER combo, it would be cool to know that there is some other problem. Thanks!

er…i have the file, and it is loaded to a DVD, but when i look at the files, the total size is less than 1MB!? it boots fine, but during the instalation, it kinda gets screwed up…am i supposed to burn the .iso with powerIso or something at low speeds?

I’m downloading by eMule, after an unsuccessfull try by torrent. Super fast if you have your eMule ports openned!

help when i download the iatkos iso folder it has many things but it hasnt an iso file, these are the files that appear:
BOOT.
BOOT.CAT
BOOT0.
BOOT1H.
BOOT1U.
BOOTEFI.
BOOTHELP.TXT
CDBOOT.
CHAIN0.

i dont find the iso file please help

Forget mininova, get it off isohunt

for everyone who has had the looping welcome screen problem, heres the solution that worked for me and a few others

after installing, reboot and press f8..then, at the commmand line, type in
“-x -v -f rd=disk0s1″ except without the quotes…the installlation should be smooth afterwards

i sitll can’t get this damn wireless to work though!

Hey queppa,
Macs are expen$sive, especially ram. But that is because Apple doesn’t want to be i the ram game. I recently upgraded the ram in my macbook (from 1g to 2 g). If I would have gone through Apple it would have set me back $300. I went with crucial ram and it was only $55. Not to be cliche: you get what you pay for. A $400 laptop will have the performance and longevity of a $400 laptop. . .

Re: “Maybe if the Macs weren’t so friggen expensive more people would buy them.”

Macs are not really all that expensive, I mean, of course you can get some PC’s for a lot cheaper, but you do get what you pay for, and Mac hardware is pure genius Take the new iMac for example… ever try to open one? no screws… ever notice how the glass screen is black around the edges? That is because it is magnetized, so suction cups pull the glass off. GENIUS! They are all amazing. With that being said, prices have dropped, a macbook $1,000, a new imac for $1,000. And these are nice powerful core2duo machines.

As far as the memory comment, YES… Apple branded memory, which is usually hynix or kingston with an apple sticker is very expensive. However…. so is memory from Dell, or HP, HP kills Mac in the memory price. So go buy non-apple branded memory. it works fine, back when we had powerpcs, yes, some brands were flaky, but not now.

In the end, the thing is that Macs last a LONG time. You don’t need a new computer ever few years to run stuff, that concept only applies to Microsoft. When it comes to mac & Linux, a hardware upgrade is a luxury, not a requirement. We still have people using Blue & Whites (but they are very slow). Either way, a real mac is well worth the cost.

Hey, i have a Toshiba x205 with 2 120gb hard drives. one of them is half full with vista stuff. the other is empty. how can i (if at all) install Leopard on the other hard drive?
thanks

now i have leopard in my pc but the sound is lower than i had in windows please help me

you need to start the computer from bios and select the dvd drive

I have a problem Leopard installs great everything works but needs the DVD to boot past the blinking cursor. If I leave the disk in when it gets to the blinking cursor it counts down then Leopard boots right up. I used the boot loader but to no avail it still wont boot. Any ideas?

For instructions but you have to register first to access the guide.

The torrent download for iATKOS v1.0i was going to take me about 3 days. I am not going to beg people to seed. I am a big fan of usenet. If you have a news account you can find the .rars for iATKOS v1.0i in alt.binaries.cd.image

For those of you as impatient as me, it took 45 minutes to download the approx 2 GB of .rars

Also the image is good, I have loaded it successfully

ASUL — peaceful New Year 2008!

I think the Goal IS to make one “Triboot-PC”:

Partition #1-> FAT32 => WINXP
Partition #2-> EFI
Partition #3-> HFS+ => OSX
Partition #4-> EXT3 => / (for ubuntu-LINUX)
Partition #5-> swap (for Linux)
Partition #6-> EXT3 => /home (for ubuntu-LINUX)

First -> You have to Partitionate the HDD
with ubuntu-Live CD (GParted).

Then -> You have to install the Three OSes! in this Order too,
so when ubuntu write the GRUB on MBR, you can
easy choose your System at BOOT from “GRUB-List”.

I do this in Juni/07 from ubuntu & RUN!

EASY Going …

Thanks and Try it …
–> after Back-Up your Files!

This 10.5.1 “iATKOS” version of Mac OS X 10.5 works on a Dell Dimension 3000. Specs:

2.4 GHz Celeron with 128 kB cache
533 MHz FSB
256 MB RAM (at 333 MHz)
no FireWire
40 GB PATA HD
DVD-R drive
Intel worthless graphics
100 Mbps Ethernet

The sound didn’t worked under a hacked 10.4.8 installation. So I hope it works under 10.5. Haven’t tested that yet.

I don’t know the exactly model number for the Celeron processor. But the computer was bought in Jan ‘05.

I hate that the BIOS requires the PS/2 keyboard. I cannot use an USB keyboard in the BIOS. So I must have 2 keyboards connected. The Dell PS/2 keyboard and the Apple USB keyboard. I love the Apple keyboard with CTRL, ALT and CMD keys.

Another “trouble” is that I cannot change the graphics in System Prefs. I can only use 1024×768 with millions of colors. I cannot switch to lower or higher.

I have no support for Quartz Extreme or Core Image/Video/…

The performance is good enough for web browsing, text editing, chat programs, server applications…

I just wanted to say that 10.5 works on this computer!

K my screens on now when I boot the comp. its hanging up on the white screen with the apple logo and a rainbow circle spining. Been like 10 mins on this screen? any input?

Hello friend, i have a leopard on a pc intel running, and my chip wifi the “intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG ” dont run , and i like run my chips, there is any driver for leopard or macos?, thanks for all!!!:)

But for the same reason, I want that every

Thus I Prefer ubuntu, not Only for her Liberty!

At the very Beginning Mac was Free,
but Now make The People “Slaves of the System”,
like his New-Adoption-Brother: WINDOWS,
from the Beginning does!

This is not a Game about Hardware;
is a part of the Process that
can Set the People FREE!

And an OS is a Part of this Way,
we should not forget, that OSX WAS
“FreeBSD” till Apple Patented as “OSX”!

LinuX have to Be FREE

What for a wireless card have you?

I Install ubuntu in all PCs I found, and have no wireless Problems, you have on the taskbar the available wireless and only need to pick one and type the WPA or WEP and ready!

And Ethernet goes automatic on DHCP, only for PPPoE you need to type in Terminal, if wireless or ethernet, but run!

But I have one Problem NoW :0(= For All of You with Positive Install:

I try the whole day to install iATKOS on an ACER TravelMate,
but stops without a message, after I Type “boot: -v”!

Must be one HFS+ partition or unformatted goes too?

Thanks a lot … a Good New Year!

Mac and linux use unix which doesn’t mean that Mac is linux thats why it’s not free.

I downloaded vmware player and tried installing Mac OSX Leopard through there… But I get this message :

System Config File ‘/com.apple.boot.plist’ not found

I tried twice now after downloading the iso and burning it to a dvd. All I get when I try to install it, is a silver screen with the apple logo and the the loading icon spinning. After a minute or so, I get that cirle with a line through it and nothing else happens. Is there something I did wrong?

Alright all you people who can’t get the iso to work on your machine…

The reason your install doesn’t work is because you’re videocard, processor, etc is NOT supported by Apple! Apple is not Microsoft! Look, the reason Apple has a reputation for being more stable than Windows is because Apple supports only a LIMITED amount of hardware. That is, the native hardware you buy when you buy an Apple computer! So you can NOT install OS X on just any random PC!! Your PC’s hardware has to be compatible with what Apple supports natively, or you’ll have to track down the drivers you need and install them yourself. Period.

Hardware that works:

The End.

I pop the dvd in and got this message merely :

System config file ‘/com.apple.boot.plist’ not found

I hate being rude but pretty much all you morons don’t seem to know the first thing about computers so why bother installing this even though its simple as possible. Really I hate coming across things like this and then scrolling down to see all the completely stupid comments people leave even though its funny as hell still come on people get your head out of your fucking ass and READ

@OSx86 User…

My videocard, processor is supported… They’re listed here : http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.5.1

So, why the installation doesn’t work?? Perhaps, because i use VmWare Player…?

I’m currently Seeding iATKOS v1.0
Just started buring at speed 2× with imgburn (its free, search @ google for the burn tool) You can burn it with any other image/iso burn tool.

Hi! I installed like you said in a new partiton, but I can’t load it.
I have Vista installed and I tried to flag it (leopard) to boot but it sends an MBR error. Help!

Thanks a lot for a tool that will open the mac OS world to anyone

I’m new to this however I’m quite familiar with computers. I get the DVD to boot up and begin the install and get to the screen where it tells me to select a drive but nothing is there. Is this because my drive still has a copy of VISTA and I need a clean formated drive?

I also tried doing the install in VMWARE. It keeps crashing asking me to reset. I’m not sure why, I get to the apple logo and thats it.

I’m doing this on my DELL XPS M1710.

I appreciate the help.

my computer has a cd drive not a dvd but i have a flash drive how do i boot it from the flash drive
i remember when i got the flash drive it had a built in disk.

A more complete guide to instaling OS X

1.BUY A MAC

managed to download the file at 645 kb/sec took about an hour and 15 min

david,
you need to use the disk utility in the installer to format the drive for HFS, then it will show up under disk to install on.

On Windows you should DISABLE your virus-scanner when UNZIP the archive! I need some minutes to get this out!

I feel how hard it sounds. If you have stuff you can sell or work and save up it wont take long. I would suggest a mac mini or macbook i have one sold alot of old thing and had it i a month and i’m pore. I love this macbook.

Well i am still trying to install this on a old PC it is for a pore family member. I am using my macbook to do the creating.

I also have leopard and apple care saved up i love leopard spaces is great.

is it possible to use a amd because when i try it reastarts at the apple logo ive tried F8 -v rd=disk0s1 and F8 -x-v-f rd=disk0s1?? please help

@ LPS:

i got the same problem as you: i burned the data to the dvd, but windows starts like usual. it seems that there is no boot-record on the dvd. how did you solve that problem?

thank you!

Hello, i get through the BIOS, and it says darwin blah something looking like it is installing, but then it reboots( i have XP pro and vista dual booting aleady, do i just need another partition or something?

I tried the rd=disk0s1, but i can’t get past the apple screen. It just kernel panics on me. Is there any way to fix this, or didi i do something wrong? Please help.

Sorry, forgot: every boot i have to enter “rd=disk0s1″ with my boot-dvd insert. it there a way to save those setting in a “boot.config” and to boot to leopard without my dvd? thanks

I’m still on the Apple logo. Can anyone tell me how to solve it?

EVERYBODY…

Hey Dima

I have the same problem as audiosonic … When i arrive to the place where it says where you want to download it my HDD doesn’t show and when i go to disk utilities I can’t mount it it says Error try something first…..

Hi all! First a big thank you to all you clever people out there for helping to get Mac OS X to work on a PC.

However, I cannot get it to work, it just wouldn’t boot.

I am using a Thinkpad T60 (Centrino), Core2Duo 2.2 GHZ, ATI X1600.

Here’s what I did: I replaced the internal HDD with a blank one. I used the Mac OS X DiskUtil to erase and format the HDD. Strangely, I always got GUID map type at first whenever trying to create a single partition. In fact, I would actually end up with two partition, the first very tiny (200MB) and invisible, only visible in the GParted LiveCD, the second being the actually desired Macintosh HD. I instead had to create two partitions first to actually be able to select MBR map type instead of GUID type. Then I erased the whole HDD again to create one partition (HFS+, journaled) only, but MBR map type setting would luckily persist. Gnome would also then show a single partition formatted with HFS+.

Now I installed the Darwin boot loader, installed Mac OS X, but afterwards and further on all I got is a blinking cursor after system restart. I used the GParted LiveCD to set the boot flag, but it wouldn’t help. I tried a couple of settings and combinations and so forth, but still no success. I’ve read all the instructions again and again, but I ran out of ideas.

Any idea what’s wrong? Am I stupid? Don’t I deserve Mac OS X??

Thanks, guys!

Can someone help me?

I’ve downloaded the file (2.09 gb) and seeding right now, but i cant open the ZIP archive. I get error messages “unexpected and of archive”

I cant unzip the iso file, PLEASE HELP>>>

I’ve made all like you said, but after the restart windows loads.

i’ve cahnged the boot.ini, but then comes an error.

what can i do?

@Gurol: make sure you burn the image, not the Image-Data. I had this trouble a couple of years ago as i was trying to burn an Iso-Data

Can anyone who successfully installed Mac OS Leopard on his/her PC gives us the procedure on how to install Mac OS Leopard?

Thanks for the tips on installing leopard on my pc, however i was wanting to run it on top of my xp machine, as a visualisation. is it possible to do this, and if so what visualisation software do i need to install first in order to do this?

many thanks

Will this work on a Pentium D processor?

Karthik Kastury when your done with your exams, can you come out with a video or picture “leopard on pc turoiral”. It would help me lot & I would have a better understanding on what I’ am doing.

Thanks

Thank you for your work

An interesting news for me .just do it

I have succesfully install the (previous ?) image of X86 community than iATKOS, on dual celeron 3,2./1gb/
Needs a proper ethernet card, sees one core, run superb!

I believe that this image has better info and its more controllable.

A) try 1 booter at a time

B) Clean install every time that you try installing

C) don’t add drivers that you don’t need

D) check “on the fly” discs and ethernet

C) try without vanilla kernel

Buy Leopard and set it up by yourself (X86 how to), worth it!

Who was it who said a Mac costs the same as his car?

Maybe he can fly to California, buy it on the Apple campus, and fly back.

I’ve got Joe’s problem, too

ok.. Ca i install it on my AMD Turion 64 x2 with Nvidia?
as a virtual machine?

I had a weird problem with both versions of iATKOS. v1.0 wouldnt boot at all, kept rebooting at the Darwin screen whereas v1.0r2 booted into the installer but my input devices woulnt work (usb or ps2). I couldnt continue with the install. Horribly frustrating experience.

SOLUTION: Popped in the r2 dvd, as soon as it got to the white screen with the apple logo, I ejected ther disc and inserted the 1.0 disc (found out later that the kernels didnt match but the issue was resolved). PS2 input devices worked now and I managed to complete the install.

However, usb is still not working…

Does installing this on my PC format my drive?

Can anyone tell me if this will work with my computer? It’s an Acer, these are the specs:
Intel Celeron M CPU @1.46GHz
446 MB of RAM
32 bit OS

THANKYOU VERY MUCH…i jsut want to know, to intsall it side by side on windows vista, can i just partition my hard drive, and install on that partition??? please reply

THANKS AGEN

When I try to boot off this, it pops up with the darwin bootloader, then I hit enter and the little slash-hyphen-straight line-slash progress spinning thingy goes for a bit, then disappears and my computer restarts. I’ve tried with -v and -vanilla switches, -v shows that it loads the kext files and it says “starting darwin/x86″ and POOF computer restarts. I’m using an intel core 2 duo E6550 with SSE2, SSE3 and SSSE3 (no idea what that is) as well as EM64T and it still doesn’t work. I tried using a flat disk but it does the exact same thing. Help, anyone?

Hello, I’ve recently tried to install iATKOS version of Leo on my PC.
Even though the installation claims itself to be successful, when I reboot, I do not see mac os in the bootloader.
I went back and tried to apply the darwin dual boot, and I am still having the same problem.
The partition in which I installed leo is formatted in HFS+.

I had the same problem with the 3 step guide, in which I tried both fat32 and HFS+; it also claimed to have been a successful install by the installer.

Would you have any hints or tips that I may want to try in my case?
I use an intel duo core, and in the url bellow is some information about my system.

I have two HDs on my machine, both sata, and the second hd is partitioned in two sections (reason is because on the previous 3 step guide I tried naming one patcher and the other leopard and test each of them, after I had the HD with a single partition not work with patcher).

Is it posible to run the mac OS X on my compaq laptop? I have 500 some odd MG of RAM and 1.4 GH Processer and intel pentium

Hi,

I want to know if I should bother to attempt installing Leopard on my PC. If it works, I think I’ll basically have a pretty good Mac Pro.

Here are the specs of my current system…

Power Supply**: OCZ GameXStream 700W ATX12V 24PIN SLI Ready Active PFC ATX Power Supply 120MM Fan Black

NOTE:
The items marked with * are components that I’m willing to sacrifice (aka “sell on eBay”) if Leopard has a problem with them.

The items marked with ** are components that I’m pretty sure are irrelevant in terms of Leopard compatibility.

Anyway, let me know what you think. If I do this, I’m considering buying a removable SATA hard drive enclosure and another 500GB drive. That way I can leave my current system alone (i.e. take out the whole hard drive) while I mess around with this.

I look forward to your reply.

Cheers.

Awesome! xD
Btw. there are two torrents at thepiratebay.org, but one of them are _FAKE!_ so check the comments before you download.

Thanks a lot for this, now i can have leopard on both my pc and my mac!

why dowsent it work on an AMD prosseser?

will it ever be avalable for a computer with an AMD prosseser?

sorry about the double post, but, if anyone is in desperate need, i can put the iso on my server for direct download, however, i will have to keep the download speed capped kinda low

Ok.. got the file.. tried installing and it just reboots and tries to loard the Kernal again. It never gets to boot the kernal.

Hi Guys,

One more question before I go to bed.
Can anybody tell me why all of the actual non-hacked Leopard DVD’s out there (i.e. isohunt) are over 6GB while the OSx86 one is only around 2.09 to 2.44 GB? That seems weird to me. Am I missing something?

G’night.

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

does it delete all your files you have after you switch it over to leopard?

Where is iATKOS v1.0u ..???

Hey Gurol,

Everybody must be busy with their new OSx86 installation of Leopard.

I’ve got time.

Cheer.

Wow, MACONVERT, you have a really good system/hardware, about your last post, Macs are only run in Intel CPUs (except if they are really, really old).

thanks 4 u very thanks

Can anyone tell me if this will work on a Celeron M?

Hi

Is it posible to run the mac OS X on my compaq laptop? I have 500 some odd MG of RAM and 1.4 GH Processer and intel pentium M

Thanks in advanced

can i just format one drive and put it on it and start it up?

I’m affraid that all torrents available at present are a fake.
I’ve dowloaded the file for 3 times from different trackers and after checking the md5 and burning the image to a blank DVD (at slow speed) I get a ridiculous 542KB size DVD, which obviously do almost nothing. It starts, loads some init files and then reboots over and over.
Help accepted. Thanks in advance

Hi meaintsmart,

I’m not sure if this is still the case, but Apple has a reputation for making their operating systems fairly backwards compatible and able to run on quite a range of hardware (further back than Windows could at least). For instance, I’m pretty sure that OSX Tiger runs on non-Intel Macs as well as Intel Macs. So, basically, if a person went into an Apple store last year and bought OSX Tiger, he’d only need to by one disc. I think that the OSX setup application detects which CPU-type you have and then installs the correct code. If that still holds true with OSX Leopard, then that would account for why the OSx86 hack ISO’s are so much smaller than the Intel Mac non-hacked Leopard DVD ISO’s. All the non-Intel code has been stripped out. At least that’s my theory.

Cheers.

hey im running off of a pentium 4 with a gb of ram, and 2 160 gb hardrivs, but when trying to install the pc just kinda reboots on me :/ does anyone have any advice or a fix for this? of so post or e-mail it. any help is apreciated ^_^

Hi guys, just to put my experience as well…

I manage to sucessfully install Leopard on my VAIO TZ. I download the ISO, burned, did everything as said. I made the partition with Vista and installation was pretty smooth.

But now got some issues. Can’t boot without DVD in it (sometimes even boots to installation, sometimes freezes on apple screen, sometimes boots just fine!! just keep trying…). If I don’t leave the DVD in in, I got some problem as Jennifer above (HFS+ partition error).

Leopard is running good, sound is just great (even Fn+F3 key as sony volume would work as Mac volume!!), but no wifi so far. Even BT is working great, made some file transfers. Other bad thing is screen resolution – only can get 1024×768, which looks weird not being widescreen (huge black part on the right, not pretty!)

But also can’t boot into windows vista anymore, I think I lost my system. Tried to made a complete PC restore, couldn’t.

I’ll try to get recovery CDs and restore my computer, and maybe wait for a more stable version. If I can boot both Vista or XP and Leopard that would be great.

Hi Togheter
I installed iATAKOS put i need to start up the dvd and ther is no sound and no internet please help!
Thanks! greez from Switzerland

I would like to use Leopard on my PC by loading it to an external hard drive, then booting to the hard drive. Is this possible and if so what are the steps?
I use some software on windows that I would prefer to keep and I thought this might be preferable to attempting to setup a dual boot system.

wait do u have to format the drive before running the install disk???

I think whoever said the tracks being seeded are fake is right… I think that explains some of my back of success. I looked at my DVD and just noticed it is 1.02 GB in size… I don’t think that is correct…

And if that is right…

I’m sorry for seeding a lame track, people =.=

Be a giver, be a seeder, but not this kind lol

Can I install this using a virtual PC like VMware? I try and get this error:

*** 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.

So no dice?

just to clear up the deleting files thing:

FOR PEOPLE WITH ONE PARTITION (MOST TYPICAL USERS):
Macintosh uses its own file system, HFS, and windows uses NTFS or FAT32, therefore, in order for it to install, it needs to reformat your hard drive to convert it to HFS, so if you only have one partition, everything will definitely be gone.

FOR PEOPLE WITH MULTIPLE PARTITIONS:
With most OSes you have the ability to format just one partition and leave the rest alone, however, remember that OS X is specifically designed for Apple computers, and im not sure that they support partitions during install (with an apple, you partition after you install (beleve it or not), using BootCamp). so to be safe, i would back up everything important that you have on your PC

sorry i cant help with multiple partitions, ive never done it on an Apple

Having the same issue as TOBBY. Mounted the image as well as burned it. What are the config options for the machine type in VM? Tried multiple Linux and Other settings.

Has any 1 tried installing on MS virtual server? or what about on server 2008 huper-v? if so how did it go?

for all u stuggling to download why dont you use usenext.com im getting 3Mb/s

And to solve everyone’s problems! Just use something like Daemon Tools to make a virtual cd-rom drive to run the iso’s.

thanks for the guide
whats the minimum graphic card that is required to install leopard?, i have low graphic card, 32mb, am i able to install it ? please reply

ey,

I have an Imac (intel) I bought it just after leopard was released so I have the the instalation disk of both Tiger and Leopard. Can you also install leopard with these disks or do you have to get the hacked version?

Hi! I have a problem with installer. I have successfully burned the .ISO image in a single layer DVD-R. It boots when turning on computer but… installer never begins. Sometimes I get the white screen with a black message saying that I must restart computer, and sometimes I get that same white screen with the apple in the middle, but doing nothing, after 3 or 5 minutes, computers reboots and I cannot get installer work.

I have a Pentium 4 HT 2.6 GHz with 2816 MB RAM DDR 400Mhz and an ATI 9200 vivo.

Some help?

Thanks

Hi, first of all…great post! Then, you said you’d update when a version for Amd is released. i think it’s been released. I went to mininova and searched “iatkos v1.0i” and i got some results, two of them are called “iATKOS v1 0i_AMD_patched.iso”, of 2.44Gb.
Do you know if this is something to make leopard work on AMD, and then i’ll have to download the iso of leopard? or if this is leopard with AMD support??
I’m downloading it, but it’ll take a lot to finish…
oh, i have a AMD athlon 64 X2 dualcore 4600+ with 1gb of ram.

Please answer me!
Thanks.

mi mail is diegosiddi@gmail.com

Why do you all torrent, haven’t you heard of easynews?

Try it first with VMware before you try dual booting. You want to make sure it will even run before you waste your time. Come on people.

hi

i burned my iso dvd riht and everything ad nw i can boot th installer but it never starts im on the screen that has the apple and the spinner and then my computer will just restart and i cant ge tthe installer to start

When I try to boot off this, it pops up with the darwin bootloader, then I hit enter and the little slash-hyphen-straight line-slash progress spinning thingy goes for a bit, then shows the apple for a second then disappears and my computer restarts. need help please!!!

sam here still

HELP PLEASE

can anyone help me!!!

I encounter the same installation problem, the disc loads and gets to the White screen with the Apple, then the PC just restarts into Windows… Any ideas?!? Thanks,

hey i don’t get how to boot it from BIOS. what is BIOS anywaz? please help.

I see no drives when as “Where do you want to install MAC OS X leopard?” Please help

if i load leopard will it work on my intel centrino 1.8 and would it still allow me to us auto cad programs basically is the mac os ran on its own separate form xp or do they work together at the same time

This doesn’t work, it just keeps restarting your computer

Hey has the AMD supported version come out yet??.If not when is it expected to come?..Thanz..this was a great article

will the above mentioned version work in vmware on an amd processor??

Logan,

Yeh your Right No one ever answers peoples questions.

I wishi could get as far as you i can get that far i can only get the boot up screen which is grey with the apple logo and im promted with an error dialog “An unrecoverable processor error has been encounted, The Virtual machine will reset”

Dont know if its because i dont have core processors or its cause im using a virtual Pc

What you doing? booting it striaght from the pc hard drive or a virtual machine?

why not check Microsoft Virtual Pc out if you not seen it in action
link is http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/virtualpc/default.mspx

any one, Why does the patched cd only work on core processors?

This is a frustrating blog site !!! You post something and guess what !?!?! NO ONE REPLIES !!! THAT’S JUST AWESOME !!! Now that’s sarcasm at it’s best and it’s just another free service I provide. All kidding aside, I really wish someone could email me a legitimate link to a web site that I can download this bit torrent that is NOT mininova.com. What? Did someone at Apple find a way to disable not only this torrent’s website but the other’s as well. I got a feeling that’s what happened. PLEASE SOMEONE CHALLANGE ME ON THIS ONE AND TELL ME I’M WRONG !!! Then after you prove me wrong, then you can show me what web site has a workable bit torrent file that ACTUALLY WORKS… Please reply posting below to prove me wrong. Thanks…

make sure the disc is in before to start your computer. when you start your computer right when you see the screen you have to press esc. then it asks me to press f1 and it goes to bios. then i had the change the boot order to CD-ROM – HDD – LAN etc. so that the computer boots the cd-rom first. then you press end and y for yes and it will ask you to press any key to start installing Darwinx87. then it should go to the apple screen with the loading wheel thing. i haven’t been able to get passed that though. the wheel just keeps going round and round. I think it is because i only have an intel centrino processor.

THIS IS TO DIEGO.S

Are you pretty sure thats a genuine Version for the AMD processor or is it just a renamed bit torrent?

Would be interesting to know if it does work on your AMD Let Me know your outcome.

Punknugget

Go to isohunt.com.

ok soo im running this on a semi piece o shit Toshiba notebook and i get the partition to run up to the point were im asked to select a startup volume and after selecting hd(31,1) iAKOS v1.0i which is the only option it gives me i get to were it shows me a mac logo and then it just restarts can anyone tell me were i went wrong with this process

go it to work just fine you just might have to try the in stall a few times used nero to burn onto a dvd

I have given up on this site but for everyone still trying to figure this out….I’v found another torrent of mac os x that supports both Intel and AMD. Here is the url if you decide to check it out. (http://www.btmon.com/Applications/Unsorted/JaS.Mac.OS.X.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.PPF.1.D_….torrent.torrent.html)

i havnt finished downloading it but i have noticed many more users have successfully installed this version than the users on this forum. Also, here is a video showing how to dual boot this torrent and windows xp. I also will be checking back on here every now and again to reply unlike other users.

This probalby sounds silly but what are your computers specs and is there a way to dual boot this with xp and is there sound on it.

thanks
ps this is for Karthik Kastury

Hi, I need some help from you, and now about installing leopard. I was downloading the torrent brandon published with bittorrent, but it always says there is no enough disk space, but the file is of 4.5gb and i have 17gb free!!
Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks!

Diego.S: If you’re using windows, only NTFS can support single files over 4GB. My guess is that you’re on FAT32.

Dear friends

wish u a very good morning
i am also one of those who tried to work out the problem and finally succeeded
what all i am writing here is my personal experience and it may not be universal.

let me tell u how to do it
I am a novice user not anyways related to computers but just some logical thoughts

The Problems

1. The installation never makes the boot volume active hence the OS never loads
2. There are two boot loaders (the term may be wrong) hence u have to select one
3. Package selection should be right as its critical

The solutions

please follow these steps
1. Insert the iATKOS disc and boot from it.
2. Press any key for booting from DVD and allow darwin to run.
3. Now u have a screen where there is only one button on the right hand bottom to CLICK and continue.
4. Click and get past the screen.
5. Now wait for sometime and look for the menu bar on the top of the screen.
6. go to UTILITIES > Disk utilities
7. Let it open and create partition (if needed) and format the disk in MAC extended (journaled) format
8. Now quit the utility and again go into UTILITY > DARWIN BOOT

(NOTE: if u r installing the OS on Hard disk 1 it will be shown as disc0
in the case there are partitions the first partition will be shown as s1
Hence disc 1 with 1st partition will be shown as disk0s1
disc 2 with 1st partition will be shown as disk1s1, and so on…)

when u start darwin boot it will ask u to continue
SAY yes by typing “Y” without quotes
it will ask the disk number so give the disk number (only numerals, 1,2,3….) as per ur customization
then it will ask for partition number and give it (only numerals, 1,2,3….)
This will make prepare the installation to find the correct boot volume

.IMPORTANT IMPORTANT ………………………………………………………….
Then it asks for EFI patch at this point just answer yes.
the next step asks for installing DARWIN just say no here
(NOTE these steps are for dual core intel processor)

JUST MAKE SURE this is the point of selection it may be (YES then NO), or NO then NO or NO then YES)
If u get this right u will possibly able to run the OS.

It will complete the process and will automatically logout
after it completes just close it and u will be taken back to the installer screen.

………………………………………………………………………….
There select next next and click customise button
Remove POWERMANAGEMENT and also remove THERMAL kexts (just check the corresponding boxes)
DONT select any graphic adapters for intel on-board graphics card
(Others I have not tried)
install normally and restart the computer after finishing the install.
dont hit any key or remove the DVD from the drive.
Just leave everything on its own and I hope u will see the WELCOME SCREEN
please do reply if u get it done

Thanks for ur try and thanks for keeping ur hopes alive

(If u want to reply just reply in this thread adressing me, i will try to solve ur problem, if I can)

regards

Hey, I am just wondering weather or not anyone knows the manner in which the ISO should be burned to the dvd (ie. data, image) and also if anyone could tell me which program they used to do so

I attempted to do this and it went fairly well. When getting past the darwin boot, it showed a gray screen with an apple then shorty after a cross out on the apple; to get past this i just went through my BIOS and selected RAID to be automatic (i do not know why i had to do this because i only have 1 drive) after i got that figured out i was able to make a new partition and actually get it installing. once it got to about 65%(i’m estimating) the screen went gray and the computer restarted when the computer turned on, all i got was a blank screen with a gray/white cursor blinking, i could not type anything. i then went into BIOS and changed the RAId setting back to where it was, this didnt solve anything and then i couldnt even boot into Windows. (must have accidentally formatted good thing i backed up) i then retried doing the Leopard installation with the same result as before. my specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 1.86Ghz, 3 GB DDR2 nVidia GeForce 8500GT
Windows XP home. Can anyone offer any help at all?

I just have a few questions:
1. Will this install on my Celeron D 347 3.06GHz 64-Bit PC?
(I know Apple computers use Core 2 Duo.)

2. What differences will I notice as a result of it being run on my PC as opposed to on a Mac?

3. Will my 3-button scroll mouse work similarly to how it works on Windows? I hate 1-button mousing.

4. How can I find the torrent? Do you have a link?

Thanks!

hey this does not work!..I installed but not windows vista or mac boot!..so i couldn´t do anything!!!

Ok I downloaded the ISO file. Then I burned it to DVD at 2x as suggested. Popped it in during boot up, it booted into the disk and asked me ”do you want to install Mac osx” or something like that. So I hit enter. Then it said “loading darwinx86” or something. I’m like cool its working! But no, two seconds latter my system reboots like maybe its supposed to idk. But then it just asks me the same question. “Do you want to install Mac osx” What ame I doing rong.

Hi, everyone…
Hey “THE BOSS” i read your post, very informative, i shall try that. Just wanna say i tried to install using vmware with many different hardware configs, no luck so now on to trying it on my laptop. i hope all goes well, must backup.

Will post how it goes.
If it doesn’t work, then i will give apple a pat on the back for creating this hardware monopoly for there operating system and go ahead and buy a Macbook Pro, in which i can use windows too….

P.S. if you don’t even know how to burn the ISO image to a blank DVD then i really don’t think you should be trying to install Leopard on your PCs. ( to all those that can’t even use a PC properly)

Can you load Motion 3, Final Cut Studio 2 and CS3 on this version of leopard? Or is there a trick to that as well?

Hi,
when you install lepord can you switch between windows xp and apple by clicking a switch icon or is it one or the other,
Thanks, Matt

Okay it just get stuck at the apple loading screen on my PC like many other people.

I tried it on a virtual PC, and it gave me a critical error when it hit the apple screen, is there something in the bios that must be changed, or should it work when I use a real machine and not a virtual one?

Hi is there a way to get this to burn onto a few cds if not than will someone tell me how to extract the iso into a flash drive to where it will boot of the flash drive because my pc wont boot off the iso disk but i think i burnt it wrong. But i still need help.
I tried to extrach the iso to a flash drive with magic iso but i get an error i cant copy the files on mac i get an error so please help me please.

I can’t install leopard on my sata HD, it don’t see it!!!
I had the same problem installing Win XP, but thn i find sata drivers and put in in the installation disk.

What i have to do with Leo? how can i do it?

Hi, congratulations!. I have a question. I can’t format a partition to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, before i select the options, the partition still appear lilke a FAT32 format :S, I use first partition maneger to create it unformated and in the intallation i select disk utility to format the partition.

what could be wrong? do i omit some step? Thanks for your help

I have the same exact problem as “NEEDS HELP” above.

“when it does successfully install and it tells me to restart im at a black screen with white text telling me to press enter , or v and enter or ? and enter, no matter what i press nothing happens”

and that’s the end of the story… no commands work at the boot…

Core 2 Duo mobile, 2GB ram, Sata Hard Drive, IDE DVDRW

PLEASE HELP.

I dont know ..I followed every instruction given, i finally was able to install it, but only the kalyway version..after a successful installation , i get …System config file ‘/com.apple.Boot.plist’ not found”. .when i searched this issue, i was told i have to use a partition program to install a bootflag..so i download the iso, burned it , insert and booted it, followed the instructions, and it just freezes on me with a choppy multicolor screen, kind of like when your satellite loses signal ..and im forced to reboot..so that got me no where..

I followed all the instructions, downloaded the iso file, burned it onto a dvd-r at a low speed, and booted the cd on start up… afterwards, I see the apple boot logo for a brief second, and then my system restarts, and does the same thing over and over again… my pc specs include a intel core type processor, so it should be fine… anyone have the same problem?

after the darwin boot loader…loads….do not press enter to “install mac os x” hit F8 (i think) it will say something like do you want to boot with advanced startup options or something (i am not sure what it says exactly)

this thing isnt working well yet. I had to format my pc to get it back to work, installation couldnt even finish got stuck all the time. for me no more mac osx

I want to install this program but, I can’t even boot it.
I downloaded the ISO as you listed in your directions, and then i burned it to a DVD+R idk if this makes a differences or not. I can’t get this to boot.
Im running on an HP pavilian DV6000 with an Intel core 2 duo processor with 2 GB of RAM and windows VISTA home premium. Can you help me??

I have been trying for a couple weeks and gone through several dvd’s. When I try to boot from the disk, the apple logo appears and I have a swirly of death that never goes away. It never loads and never reboots. It just sits there. Please help. I have Dell Inspiron 9200 with ATI mobility radeon 9700 processor. Thank you.

To Coyr and Rodrigo, I did the following:
thru the mac installation I format my HD to FAT32, than re-format it to
MAC extended (journaled).
Give it a try, it worked for me on my Asus laptop

Please seed!

If i have vista on my comp, do i need to remove it or can i have both?

i downloaded the torrent and put it to a dvd it now says that there is a problem with it and leopard wont start when i reboot it. I got an iso unlocker and looked at the file and there was no files to start up only txt files can anyone help?

Thank you, Koni! I’m using Kalyway on my laptop and only wifi and sound is not working…

Lukey:

Got the ISO to install fine. Used used gparted boot iso to make the parttition active (mbr). Now i’m on the registration screen for Apple and the keyboard doesn”t hmmm. Tried a usb and that wont work either, maybe I missed something in the advanced setup

WEKS,
Shout down you PC, hard shoutdown and do it again, it took me 3-4 times than it works…

I cant get past the select where to install the mac os. It doesnt show any drives in the dialog box. If I use the “disk utilitities” from the install menu, in shows ALL my drives, sata, esata, ide, and usb drives but nothing show up in the “where to install” box. can anyone help?

Thanks

Sean
seanhobbs@hotmail.com

SEAN, did you choosed a HD and formated ot to MAC extended (journaled)? If you dont format 1 of your HD you wont see it in the “where” dialoge box…

I installed, it booted into the Mac OS, looked great, and when I shut down it comes back to windows. No matter what I do I can’t seem to boot back into the Mac OS it just goes to vista. I have Vista on the main partition then the Mac OS on a separate partition of 30gigs. Just curious how to get back to it again…

A Q: I removed Leo from my laptop and installed VISTA 64bit edition, running smoothly…Can I install Leo again on my other partition? How does it effect on the boot records? I will be able to choose boot partition?
Can someone explain to me on how to do it please?
thanks

If you boot into Windows with the Leopard CD in and you navigate to My Computer, The CD Drive says Boot Camp. You click it and it starts to install boot camp.

Hi,

Need some help here,

i have a core2 duo 6000 series processor.
intel 965 board.
well ia have boot formt he disk and it is just showing a apple image along with a (/) cross mark…….

hey when i dwnld the torrent iATKOS v1.0i it only takes like a second but evryone keeps sayin it takes hours, am i doin it wrong or somthing?

a work around for the keyboard problem is to either make sure that apple recognizes where you want to type. It usually beeps if it does not know where to type. If that doesnt work…Hold the power button or press alt+Q on a PC to shut down. If the alt+Q works, pretty sure the keyboard drivers are installed fine. Also, if you have a USA Extended keyboard make sure you select that.
So turn off the computer and let it start again… they keyboard should work then.
if you are using a USB device. Make sure you plug it in before you restart. Since (atleast for me) the USB doesnt work if plugged in after on.

Also, someone asked about the iTKOS v1.0i… the 2.09 and the 2.44GB files, I believe are pretty much the same. But since the 2.09GB one works for me. So make sure you get the one that works.

Another thing, After installation, and your computer boots leopard, update software …. but make sure you do not update the leopard OS or any drivers that you arent sure of. Beacause (atleast for me) after installation it tells me to restart and then during the apple boot screen it will go Dim and tell me to press the power button and to restart. So if anyone finds out a work around for that let me know.

I tried installing the intel wireless drivers, i believe its the a/b/g drivers for 3… That crashed my computer. Update for OS Leopard crashed it. everything else works fine.. so far.

One last thing, once you finished installed and you really dont want the hassle of installing the OS once again if it crashes, make sure that you make an image of the disk, using disk utility.

Now a lot of people dont explain this properly…ill try.
After installation and making sure the OS X works. Shut down your computer or install things you want to install… like office 08, ilife 08, toast, msn messenger, firefox, quicktime update… blah blah… (make sure you dont update any drivers or experiment installing the OS X leopard update at this time) and then shut down. Put your Leopard DVD in the drive and boot off it and go to the installation of the OS like you did before.

Once it reaches the screen where it asks you to select the harddrive you want to install the deal. click on utilities and go to disk utility. Then click on the harddrive you want to image (the HDD where you installed the leopard). make sure you click on the HDD model and not the HDD name that you gave it. For example i named my primary HDD leopard… but for imaging it, i do not click on leopard, instead right above leopard the HDD model number (Fujitsu….) is listed… so click on that. Then click on the Image button on the top… select the secondary HDD that want to create the image and then leave all the settings as is… and then hit start… While its working… (dont freak when you see that your primary HDD that you are imaging is unmounted) make sure that your secondary HDD size is decreasing. Once its completed. Shutdown the computer by pressing alt + Q and then start your computer as is….

Phew hope that helped… after installing the OS more than 10 times.. i believe this would save everyone the trouble of having to wait to install all the settings and crap like that.

hey man i tried again to install and did exactly the things tht u told but its not booting in to the os…i went to disk utility and then formated my hdd as mac journal extended and then also made a single partition on the entire drive…see the first prob i got was when i selected darwin from the utilities and then pressed Y for the efi ( it gave me an error saying tht could not unmount error 2 ) and then it automatically said process completed and logged out so then i close the terminal window and then click on continue and then it gives me option to customise so i check the remove processor thermal and the other one as u said …i also choose nvidia drivers for my card and also then i click on tht efi and then click on continue and it starts installing ..the good news was tht it installed in the first go and it just took 10 min to complete the installation…now after the system is restarted it again gave me the same darwin bootloader and as u said i did not press any key and waited for it to boot …well it gives me a white screen with apple logo and immediately io get a lot of error codes regardign processor and a debugger called panic.but then wht happens is tht the whilte screen slows keeps on turning black and finally the full screen is black…i then restart the system and then press F8 and then type in -x -v -f rd=disk0s1 and it starts a lot of computing and gives all sort of coding with regards to hardware …in the end it reaches to a part where it says loading welcome application and then after tht does nothing…..

now the above one i did with the hdd partitioned as master boot record.

next i tried with changin the hdd partition to GUID as its mentioned for mac on intel based..i installled the leopard again and the same thing after the installation…it does not boot into os when i dont press any key the same white screen turning black..and if i press F8 and type -x -v -f rd=disk0s1 now it again starts with the computing but now it reaches a line which says darwin loader ver 9.0 initialising and then it gets stuck there..

any ideas as to wht to do and how to make it work ..
i really want this to work as apple systems are very costly where i live..

thanks really appreciate for the help u providing ppl

Thanks to this article i am writing this from my hackintosh!

Please, can anybody tell me where can I find a mac osx version that is compatible with my Packard Bell Easynote R9201 D and how to install it?

Specs: Intel Pentium 1.6 mhz, 1Gb Ram Nvidia Go 6400

tnks

hudreckb,
I believe you might have an issue, since you have an AMD processor. You might need to get the AMD compatible leopard.
Anyways, Ill tell you how to erase your drive.
1) Enter Disk Utility
2) Select the drive you want to install or format. You will have to click on the Drive name and not the model number and make.
3) Click on erase
4) Select the MAC OS Extended (jounaled) partition.
5) Click erase.
6) After a few seconds your drive is ready for installation

Hey plz can anyone help me….i am able to install it perfectly fine but then after the restart it doesnt boot and it gives me file not found..so i press F8 and then -v -x -f rd=disk0s1 ..but tht gives me a lot of coding and then gets stuck at sometimes darvin ver 9.0 or sometimes get stuck at starting logon application or something like tht…i checked on google and read all the posts here and its mentioned to seelct the darwin bootloader from the customised menu and also choose sse2 or sse3 but all those option + the option of vanilla kernel i dont get only..
ne one ne suggestions plz do email me at kartikaye.tripathi@gmail.com
thanks a million in advance

MUGZ,

First i do have the AMD version of the Leopard image. But do i repartition the drive via the DVD i created or through Windows commands, and what if i do not see my 2 HD’s under disk utilities?

Thanks for your response also!

MUGZ,

thank you for the tips. i would try them but i am still not able to use my keyboard. any ideas?

MUGZ,

i will try plugging a keyboard in later on today. one last question (hopefully), can you go through step by step how to fix my HD i only have one drive that is partitioned once. i believe that i am confused because i do not see a HD listed anywhere

Hey folks,
I have feister ubuntu linux installed in my machine. I have also vista home premium 32 bit and wish to partition the disc for a leopard mac os.

Have you guys tried to run multi os together with leopard? Any configuration to be done before apart from the partitioning? Was just asking cos I installed xp to run in a vista pc for a friend and I had to install SATA drivers etc. and it was a hell of a procedure.

Thanks,

Josembi (Milan)

is this the fully functional make, can i put pro tools on this? O yeah, if you have an intel processor (no core) would it still work?

Ok this message is for everyone who has problems with installing loepard on a partition. When you start the installation process you can see a menu at the top. In this menu you see a few options but you have to go to utilities. And when you are in the utilities menu you see a few options. If you did everything right so far you should see the option disk utility. In this menu that should pop up you can either make an partition or delete partitions. Then after you did this you should close the programme and open the folder utilities->Darwin_Boot.. follow the onscreen instructions and then if you did everything right you go back to the menu and you select agree and you follow the rest of the installation. Ok now I have a question: I made a partition, installed leopard succesfully on it and then when It asks me to reboot the comuter I just reboot. But then when I boot the computer the installation starts over again!! Does anyone know how to fix this??? timhendriks_9@hotmail.com

Can anyone say if this works on a Celeron M, 1.46ghz?

@FL3M

I am busy installing it on my laptop with core Celeron M, 1,46 GHZ Dell laptop…

i have the same problem as SPACER when i try to install on my HP Pavilion laptop with Core 2 Duo, but when I install with the same disk on an AMD build it installs all the way.

any suggestions

I finally got the iATKOS to boot. from darwin it begins to load, displaying the apple logo and loading wheele, but it never loads. Maybe im doing something wrong. If anyone here has either had this problame or installed it on an HP Pavilian dv6000 with an Intel Core 2 duo processor please let me know!! [=

Dear DUDE_VIRUS..

Namaskar

Well i shoud just take u back where u chose customize button…

Dont install any drivers from the package may ne NVIDIA or anything
Just check remove thermal kexts and power management…
I am glad u were able to install congrats for that
Now just play with Darwin boot yes / no or no / yes for efi
do tell what is the processor u r using with board number

take care and enjoy

I burned the iso file and I changed the boot priority but when it boots from dvd it says that there is a missing file.What can I do?

Im not sure but im thinking it may have something to do with BIOS.
My hardware matches a MAC book. When i inserted the APPLE leopard dvd i bought ( Factory version from apple) All my drivers for my hardware are acually on the DVD. Since apple supplies this software for an Intel 945 chipset im guessing that leopard should work with the right patch. The only thing i can possibly see is the BIOS Stopping the Iatkos from loading. Im affraid that if i disrup Bios on my computer it won’t allow me to restore my HP Pavilian back to factory settings, because it uses the information from BIOS. Im only 15 doing this for a school project so can someone tell me if im on the right track?

Don’t update to 10.5.2 this hack was made for 10.5.1 not 10.5.1 duh!!!!

I have leopard working on my dell e1405 with 1.76 duo core processor but with no wifi and no audio, but I have my ethernet port working as i am writing this from leopard. Also I have windows vista installed on here. I use a GPart live cd where I switch between which partion i am to load from.

I installed leopard with iAtokas after i upgraded it with the version 2. You can get it here: http://etsi.pl/iatkos_r2.html

I don’t know why so many people are having problems. Even though i have to bootload from the cd everytime because if I don’t I get a hfs+ partition error, i get by it with -x -v -f rd=disk0s1 and when it starts running after loading I tap enter until I am able to move the cursor. That usually gets it to work.

GARY

Try getting the image off of mininova (yeah it takes forever) then upgrade the download with the link I posted before. The use magiciso to burn it but make sure you choose the slowest burn speed possible if not the information on the disk won’t be fully readable

I have Finally got iATKOS 1.0I R2 Installed and bootable. But I got 3 Problems.

1St: Cant Get Wired Or Wirless Ethernet To Work.
2nd: No Audio Devices Found Acording To Mac.
3rd: When I boot I Am Always Booting Into Mac Safe Mode Anyone Know How To Stop Booting Into Safe Mode.

That’ s the graetest think i saw in my life.very nice job (if it works.).
I have an acer aspire 5920g with Vista home premium and i want to try. I download the the torrent and i opened it with Azureus, now i am downloading with 50kb/s. What i do wrong?Please help me sameone.thk.

RE: Bigfaddy

ok what do you mean you got everything to work? Can you bootload without the cd img? And if your pc has wifi capabilities, are you able to use it?

Well anyways, about your audio problem, I think that the best way for you to try and get the sound to work is to go to the sigmatel drivers page and see if you can find the drivers there that might be compatible to work on leopard. There pretty much isnt any other solution right now.

RE:Infectedco

Ok After Wiping Out my laptop i got everything to work except for audio and some video problems. No i cant boot with out the cd in the drive. Havent figured it out yet but when it pops up for cd i hit f8 then type
-x-v-f rd=disk0s1. Also my laptop has wifi and it works. It registers as apple airport and i can select my network.If u look up a few u will c my laptop specs and model that i am working with. I have followed a guide off hack attack for my laptop model. Eeverything works know with using his guide. The Auio Perfect as far as i can tell. Video No Problems even with games. Wifi No problem very very fast. I havent installed the 10.5.2 as kinda nervous to.

Still waiting for a tutorial on dualbooting with XP. So many of you say that you dual booted, why wont you help us out?

The update for the Dual Boot Tutorial was posted on Dec 22nd

Re: Infectido

Here is the guide i used to get everything working. As far as the wifi goes it was atomatically installed by Iatkos Disk. THIS IS NOT MY GUIDE DONT ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. This also covers DUAL BOOTING ON DELL VOSTRO 1500. I cant guratnee it will work for all systems this jsut worked for my dell vostro 1500.
Okay! Since this community was so helpful in getting my Vostro 1500 turned into a Hackbook Pro, and it required flipping through several different threads, i thought I would compile everything I had to look up into one Mega Vostro thread. This information took me from a stock Vostro 1500 with Windows XP Home, to a Dual Booting, 10.5.2 Leopard w/ Vanilla 9.2.0 Kernel, and XP Pro X64. I will also do my best to provide links to 64 bit XP drivers for this unit, as that was honestly the most time consuming, and headache causing part of this whole ordeal. I will also let you know that I have not found a working 56k Modem driver for Windows XP x64, so if this is a deal breaker, you can just stop reading here!

First I’m going to start with the basics, this guide is written for a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop speced as follows:

Model – Vostro 1500
CPU – Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5270 (1.4GHz/800Mhz FSB/2MB cache)
Operating System – Genuine Windows XP Home Edition (Changing out to OS X 10.5.1 & Windows XP Professional)
LCD Panel – 15.4″ inch Wide Screen XGA LCD Display
Memory – 2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz, 2 DIMM
Video Card – 128MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8400M GS
Hard Drive – 160GB 5400RPM Hard Drive
Integrated NIC and Modem – Integrated 10/100 Network Card and Modem
Optical Drive – 8X CD/DVD+RW Read and Burn CD and DVD
Sound Card – High Definition Audio 2.0
Wireless Cards – Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g Wi-Fi Mini Card
Primary Battery – 85 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
Bluetooth – Wireless Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Internal (2.0 + Enhanced Data Rate)

At the end of this guide, if you have this configuration, you should have a working Vostro 1500 that Dual Boots Leopard and XP x64 where 98% of OSx86 is working. I will tell you right now the following I have not bothered to start messing with ATM, and are not currently working.

Speedstep – I work primarily plugged in, and I have it disabled in the BIOS because I want to be at 1.4 Ghz at all times, so I don’t really care if this works or not.
Battery Meter – There is a wonderful guide for this in MacGirl’s Dell thread (found here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=83039) that I’m sure if I took the time, it would work, but I haven’t so it doesn’t.
Sleep – Were you really expecting it to anyways?
Reboot/Power Down – Reboot was working at initial install, but since I patched the audio it hasn’t been. The system blacks out, but never totally shuts off, I just do that manually. If anyone has a fix for this, I would really appriciate it as it’s the only thing about my install that kind of bugs me.

What is working:

Dual Core CPU
1280×800 Resolution w/ full switching and QE/CI support, Dual Monitor shows up but is untested
Properly Detects RAM speed and Processor Type
Integrated 10/100 LAN
DVD Read tested and working fine, have yet to test writing
Audio working on internal speakers and headphone jack, have not tested mic in
Wireless out of the box, detected as Airport
Bluetooth

This should give you everything you need for everyday use, the system also stays very cool, never getting warmer then it does normally in windows, I dont’ have an exact temp for you sorry.

Alright, now that we know what to expect once you’ve finished up, lets get start on the making it work part. You will need to following:

1 x copy iATKOSir2 Burned to DVD (iATKOSi will probably work as well, I just had iATKOSir2 burned already)
1 x copy GParted Live CD
1 x copy Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (I recommend a volume license, easier that way.)
1 x Vostro 1500 as configured above
1 x kalyway_hack_10.5.2ComboUpdate
1 x kalyway_10.5.2_kernels.mpkg.zip
Patience
Time
A basic working knowledge of your computer

First! Power up your Vostro and make sure it is set to boot to DVD first, then HDD. Once this is done, insert your iATKOSir2 DVD and reboot.

Let iATKOSir2 load, and then open Disc Utility. Select a 2 Partition Configuration, and size them accordingly for what you want each OS to have. I have mine split evenly, with 80 GB dedicated to each OS.

Format partition 1 as HFS+ Journaled, and leave partition 2 as Free Space.

Once this is done, close Disc Utility, and continue your install to the HFS+ Journaled partition, mine is called Leopard. When you get to the screen with the Customize option, click it and select the following options ONLY!

EFI Bootloader and all sub options
Broadcom 440x Network Driver

Then click continue, and skip the DVD check, and prepare to wait, it takes a bit for the OS to install.

Once this is done, the system should say Successfully Installed! and show you the Green Checkmark of success +1! Restart your laptop, and insert your GParted Live CD. Press enter through the options until you get to the disc utility.

Next you are going to want to select your HFS+ Journaled partition and enable the Boot flag to make that drive bootable. Once this is done, you can close the disc utility, and reboot your system. Remove the GParted Live CD and you should be prompted with the darwin boot loader.

At this point, press enter, and boot with the -v flag just to be safe, the system shouldn’t hang up, but just in case, I always boot with -v on the first run through. Once the system runs through its boot, you should be booted with a choppy version of the Leopard Intro Video. Don’t Panic! We’re going to make the graphics work very shortly.

Run through the account creation process, and press Clover+Q to skip the registration page, (it should be Alt+Q on your keyboard) and boot to your new Leopard Desktop for the first time.

Once at the desktop, we have a couple of things to take care of, namely Video, Audio and Updating to 10.5.2 w/ vanilla kernel 9.2.0 + Leopard Graphics Update.

First we’re going to start with graphics, I tried several different installers to make my 8400M GS 128 work, and in the end the only one that actually worked for me was this one: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=83931

You want to click GET IT HERE in the first post, then go to the DOWNLOAD PAGE and getNVInstaller v.33.

Once this file is downloaded, you want to run the .pkg files and install for your card accordingly, which should be the following options:

Final 10.5.2 kexts
128mb card

then click continue and let the installer do its thing. Reboot, and you should now have fully working graphics with Resolution switching, and full QE/CI. To be safe, once again when you reboot, I would recommend booting with -v to debug any issues that might incur.

Next step, working audio! This one took me a few trys, but thankfully, the wiki for 10.5.1 on this unit will work perfectly, I’m going to link it here, and then explain it. Here is the wiki link: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph…les#Vostro_1500

For those too lazy to click through, here is basically what you want to do.

- Get the AppleHDA Patcher v1.20 from here – http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=32859
- Get the Stac9205.txt Linux Codec dump from here – http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho…mp;#entry581566
- Get the AppleHDA.kext.zip file from here – http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho…mp;#entry586908

Put these files on your desktop. Once this is done, you want to drag the Stac9205.txt file into AppleHDA Patcher v1.20. You will see some text in the box, and then it will say Done or Complete or something along those lines. Now, before you reboot, take the AppleHDA.kext file you downloaded fromt he last link, and put it in System/Library/Extensions. It will ask you to authenticate with your user password, and overwrite the file, this is fine, do so.

Then go to Applications/Utilities/Disc Utility, select your Leopard install drive, and repair permissions, then reboot. Again I recommend using the -v flag to check for errors, but you shouldn’t encounter any.

Once OS X boots again you should not have fully working audio, at least to the extent I have tested it.

This is all I really had to do to get the machine to the point I’m happy with it driver wise. Next, we’re going to move on to the 10.5.2 update, which is a relatively simple process.

For this process, I used the following link: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&…st&p=620755

For those of you too lazy to click through again, I’m going to quote that post, and give my thanks to Kalyway for this update, as well as Foodie Monster for the process that worked for me, so thanks guys!

QUOTE
Excuse me if I quote one of my favorite games of ‘07 here: “This was a triumph. I’m making a note here, HUGE SUCCESS!”

I am now running Mac OS X 10.5.2, with Vanilla Kernel 9.2 (Yup the updated one!), GUID, EFI and all that stuff! Just wanted to report to all of you that on my system (check specs in my Signature) I just did the following:

1) Procure the necessary files: Search at “The Bay” (You know, where everybody says “Yarr!”, drink Grog and eat oranges to fight scurvy) for the files: you are looking for Kalyway’s ComboUpdate for 10.5.2 as well as the other file, the Updated Kernel (I can’t link here, but do a search for “kalyway” for the first file, and a search for “kernel” for the second file – make sure you sort by date so you can find it easily smile.gif )

2) Once you have the files, BACKUP ANY IMPORTANT DATA – Everything in Hackintosh is YMMV, so if you are playing the game, might as well know the rules. Only once you’ve done this, you can proceed to installing the Combo Update (KalywayUpdCombo10.5.2.pkg) – Yes there are other files in your download, don’t worry about them.

3) Once that’s done and it asks you to restart, leave the window open and open up Disk Utility. Why? Because repairing permissions is never a bad idea. I don’t know if it’s necessary, but I did it and my system is working perfectly with no hitches.

4) Restart your system by clicking the Button. Once you do this, you’ll see the Apple Screen, and after a long while, the system will reboot. THIS IS NORMAL! Don’t panic! Once it reboots, it’ll stay in the Apple Screen again, and then everything will go black. Very black. The system will stay that way for several minutes (some people say up to 3-4 minutes, it was about 2-3 for me), but after that period in which no doubt you’ve been holding your breath, you’ll see the Blue desktop signaling that it lives! And after a few moments, your wallpaper will pop up and congrats, you are now in 10.5.2! biggrin.gif

Now, if you don’t want the new Kernel, you are done here. Go make yourself a sandwich. If you do want to install the new Kernel though, do the following:

5) After doing all of above, crack open the new “kalyway_10.5.2_kernels.mpkg.zip” file. Inside there’ll be a file called “kalyway_10.5.2_kernels.mpkg”. Run this, and you’ll have 2 options. Select the appropriate for your system – there’s a description when you select either that’ll help you chose. In my case, I chose the first one for Vanilla Kernel.

6) Reboot when prompted. It’ll boot back into your desktop, no fuzz, and you’ll have the 9.2.0 Darwin kernel. Congratulations! YOU NEW KING OF FIGHTERS!

So there you have it. Mind you, I have not installed the Graphics Update yet, not until I hear some confirmation that it won’t screw up my Install. But if you are not hard pressed for that Graphics Update, those are the steps I followed to get my system to be up-to-date to the latest version of OS X, with the latest Kernel.

Hope that helps any of you! Cheers and good luck!

Once you finished with that process, that’s pretty much it! You can now proceed to do the Leopard Graphics Update and not worry about anything, it works perfectly fine on this build. You should now have a fully updated Leopard install with 10.5.2 compliments of iATKOS and Kalyway (thanks again guys!) with a full 9.2.0 Vanilla Kernel.

Now, if you have no interest in Dual Booting your machine, scurry off and start installing whatever OS X apps you want (I recommend Onyx, Geekbench, XSlimmer, Adium and Parallels Desktop {for when you’re too lazy to reboot to hit windows if you are dual booting})

If, however, you are interested in dual booting, it’s time to move on to Installing Windows XP Professional X64.

Dual Booting!

For this section, you will be using that XP Pro x64 disc I was talking about. To start, reboot your computer with the XP Pro x64 disc in drive, and begin the setup process.

Once you get to the partition options, it will tell you that another partition on this machine has been marked as bootable, and that windows will need to change this in order for the computer work properly, and that you can change this option from within windows at any time. Don’t worry about it, and let it change the boot flag on this partition.

You should now be looking at 2 partitions, mine listed as this

C: Unknown Partition
E: Unpartitioned Space

You want to select E: and partition create a New Partition on it, and then reboot your system.

The reason for this is that windows automatically assigns any valid partition C:, even if it can’t use it. If you try and install to E: it’s going to give you a headache in the long run, so just partition and reboot.

Once back to this screen, proceed to install XP Pro x64 to your new C: Partition, which should now show up as:

C: New Partition

I just formatted it to NTFS (quick) and let the installer do it’s thing.

Once this is all done, you should be looking at your XP x64 Desktop.

I’m also going to highlight this simply for the irony of it. It is easier to get OSx86 to work on this laptop, then to get an x64 build of windows to function properly, the drivers are buried in Dell’s website, or often the manufacturers directly, and it took me about 4 or 5 hours to get everything working.

As I’m sure most of you are familiar with windows, I’m not going to go into a long detailed process on how to install drivers unless they are particularly hard, what I will do is provide links to the proper drivers, so you don’t have the wild goose chase I did getting this thing to work. So here we go

Start with this driver, as it’s the Intel Chipset – http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/…p;fileid=205326

To get the nVidia GeForce 8400M GS 128 to work you will need to get the latest drivers from this link – http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp64_169.21_whql.html and get the modified INF file from this link – http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index….showtopic=16155

Run the nvidia installer until it tells you that there has been no compatible video device on this computer. Then go to C:\NVIDIA\Win2KAMD64\169.21\English and put the modified .INF file in this directory. Once that’s done run Setup.exe again, and it should install your graphics driver properly.

For the Broadcom Network card you want this driver – http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/4401.php
For the Dell 1490 Wifi Card you want this driver – http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/…p;fileid=236819
For the Dell 355 Bluetooth you want this driver – http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/…p;fileid=216131
For Audio you want this driver – http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/int…-hd-driver.html
For the 3 Base System Devices you want this driver – http://members.driverguide.com/driver/deta…mp;action=filfo (This is all three aspects of the card reader, one for each, you’ll have to try each one separately as I don’t remember the proper order)

I believe thats it really. I don’t recall there being any other issues with this unit. I will of course tell you you need to go and grab XP SP2 for x64 Professional, which is about 350 MB, happy downloading and that you should run a full course of windows updates afterwards.

Once this is all said and done, and your windows install is configured the way you like it, the dual boot step is super easy, at least it was for me. All you do is reboot, and put the GParted Live CD back in your computer, and re-mark the HFS+ Journaled partition as bootable, and when the darwin boot loader comes up, you hit enter, it should now give you the following options

(hd0,1)Leopard
(hd0,2)Windows

Which is pretty self explanatory, pick Leopard for OS X and Windows for your windows install.

So, yep, that should take care of it honestly! If I missed any XP x64 Drivers, please let me know and I’ll dig up which ones I missed and try and get them posted here for you, as I know its a pain in the ass to try and find them all scattered all over the intarwebs.

Again I would like to thank the following members of the community that got this up and running with their subsequent guides and files and other contributions to this project:

THANKS TO HEXIDECMAL FOR POSTING THIS. MORE OF THESE CAN BE FOUND ON INSANELYMAC.COM

Just brainstorming. I want to be able to set up a dual boot, but not loose any files on my existing XP Setup.

I’m about to look around with Partition Magic, and see what I can do. It looks like bigfdaddy’s tutorial deals with a clean install…

So can anyone help?

Re:Dylan

If u dont whant to lose any xp stuff then i would get something like acronis disk director. it allows you to split hard drive and other necesary things u need. Also It includes acronis os selector that might be usefull to u.

TO EVERYONE THE TUTORIALS I LISTED ARE NOT MINE ALL CREDIT NEEDS TO GO TO HACKINTOSH.ORG AND EVERYONE ELSE LISTED ON THEM. I JUST POSTED FOR PEOPLE TO READ.

by the way, it’s already installed so i dont’t need it to install itself any more i just want it to run. if anyone has any idea of what im doing wrong your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Bigfdaddy

I have Acronis now, but everytime I create a partition, and finalize it, after i reboot its not there. I also tell it not to pick a file system, which could be why. Any idea what file system I should put it as?

Re: Dylan

Ok u have it split in two partions. dont worry about not seeing it. Pop in the mac dvd and use the disk utility program in it and format that blank partion as mac journaled. that should take care of it. then go ahead and install everything u need for youre pc. I beleive that should take care of it. If someone else knows any better way then please jump in.This is the way i am doing it since i jsut put vista on my laptop and am getting ready to install mac also. then install acronis os selector to use to dual boot.

I insert the disk and it says darwin boot loader….i click….and i see the apple logo with the spinning sign underneath, but it just keeps on going for hours….im using a hp dv9000 intel core 2 duo….sse2+….am i supposed to type something before going to the apple screen?

Well After Wiping Out My Dell Vostro 1500 Completley, I am able to dual boot. First I installed vista buisness. Then once that was done and fully updated i poped in iATKOS 1.01 R2. Let it boot up and hit install. Then once through i went into utilities then disk utilities. Formatted partion 1 as mad journeled (extended). Once that was done i picked out my patches. My drivers i used was bootlader efi with everything below that clicked. Then i installed broadcom Networking Patch. And i beleive that is all the patches i picked as far as i can remember. Once it installed and said had to restart i whent back to utilities then disk utilitie and repaired permisions. Once that was done i rebooted then when it asked press f8 i beleve to see start up options it showed mac leaopard and vista. KNOW I NO LONGER NEED MAC DVD TO BOOT INTO IT. I JUST SELECT MAC AND PRESS ENTER THEN IT BOOTS RIGHT INTO IT. SAME GOES FOR VISTA. HOPE THIS HELPS ANYONE WITH THE SAME LAPTOP OR CLOSE TO IT.

OK so i burned the disk on my laptop so that i could use my other computer meanwhile and i left the disk in and when i turned it on it booted into BIOS and asked if i would like to install MAC OSX
the weird thing is when i sent my laptop in for repair they replaced my intel pentium 4 for a AMD Turion64
So would it be safe to try to install it?
Reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have read through just about every post but not finding what I am doing wrong. Here are a few things I notice after I try to load it.

ERRORS – at least the ones I could remember lol
com.apple.driver … has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi … use only 1 styl
cant mount /dev/disk1s1
core raid server not responding.
Then it goes right to install screen.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thxs

I tried it again. It seems like after I commit, I start back booting XP, it brings up the menu and “creates” the partition. Then it reboots, does some last stuff and loads XP up. After that it is never seen again and I am back to those 2

Is there anyone else still seeding?? My status is stalled stating invalid data from tracker (http://jujubosc91.free.fr/tracker/announce.php)

what all are Non Core Intel Processors & PC-EFI ?
