Update : If you are looking for a guide to Dual Boot Windows Vista and Mac OSX Leopard, please follow this guide Hack Attack : Dual Boot Leopard and Windows Vista. The Dual Boot Guide is a comprehensive guide and it should work for most of you with a little bit of hard work.
Here is a complete guide to install Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.1 (9B18) on your PC, in just one step that is as easy as it could possibly get. Just pop in the DVD and you are good to go, running Leopard in no time, with all the 300+ features at your fingertips.
Its been nearly two months, since I last wrote my guide to Install Leopard on your PC in just 3 Steps. Well I wanted to write a better How-To that would answer many questions that people had from my previous How-To.
I am writing this guide for a novice user, who doesn’t know much about the various commands that went into my previous article. This is a one step process that almost anybody in this world would be able to follow.
Here are the basic requirements for you to proceed with the installation of Leopard :
- A Blank DVD-R to burn the ISO.
- The ISO image to be downloaded from Mininova.
Before I tell you, how to install OSX I would like to tell you why this release by Uphuck and Eskurza is an important milestone in the OSX86 Project.
- This is the first ever Leopard DVD to come out with the amazing PC-EFI built in. If you are wondering what PC-EFI is all about, then let me tell you something about it :
With the EFI patch, the hackintosh can boot off VANILLA UNMODIFIED OS X kernel and use vanilla kexts, which gives a more clean room and great peace of mind for future system updates.
To Know more about PC-EFI visit the OSX86 Wiki
- iATKOS (as this release is called) supports a variety of Hardware configurations, and many popular Graphic Cards, Network Cards are supported.
Now lets proceed with the installation of Leopard. Before that here are few conditions your CPU must satisfy to use this installation method..
- Non Core Intel Processors, no PC-EFI for you.
- Core Based Processors, for PC-EFI to work.
- AMD processors are not supported at this time.
Ok now, lets proceed with the installation :
Step 1: Installing Leopard
- Download the Installation ISO from Mininova. You can find it by performing a search for iATKOS v1.0i (Its about 2.09 GB).
- Once you are done, with downloading burn the ISO at very slow speeds to the DVD.
- Pop in the DVD and boot into it from BIOS and follow the Onscreen Instructions.
- Select the Appropriate Packages, based on your hardware and then proceed.
- Installation might take about an hour or so, so grab yourself a cup of coffee while you install Leopard.
Step 2: That is all my, my Friend
- Didn’t I say it was a one step installation process. Yes it really was.. Congratulations you’ve done it.
That’s it for now. I will be updating this post in the future, when the AMD patch is released. If you have any questions, please drop in a comment, or ask your questions in the Uphuck Forums.
A big thanks to Uphuck and Eskurza for this amazing release. A lot of credit for all this hardwork goes to them. And ofcourse to Netkas for the development of PC-EFI. Cheers!
Please seed for atleast a couple of days, once you have finished downloading. This will help other people to get this amazing release faster.

An interesting news. I’ll try to install iATKOS on a virtual machine build with VMware Workstation 6.
what’s the search criteria on mininova.org to found the correct iso image for install with this steps??
Thanks in advance.
just type in “iatkos v1.0i” and you should find it. check the correct spelling, i first missed some letters and didn’t find it either.
But it’s damn slow isn’t it?
Hi! very good news, but i have just one question: are the sound and wlan troubles solved?
greetings from austria
Does anyone have the direct link to the iso on mininova?
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?
that was my question as well. Can this be installed on a system running Windows already as a dual boot system?
I have a P4 3.0G PC. Can I install Leoopard on it using your DVD image? Thanks.
Question: is this very safe to do? Will it screw up my computer in unimaginable ways? Is its reversible? Thank you for reading this
“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.
Just a reminder to keep seeding the file after your done so it will download faster for all of us. 150kb/s for me right now.
What are these WLAN and sound issues?? Can they be fixed?
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
Are there any other ways to download the iso faster?
With the torrent i got it will take a long time. (1 kb/s at this moment)
will it harm my proccessor and will i be able to install xp again on my pc?
@Amit: No it won’t harm your processor and you should be able to reinstall XP incase things go wrong..
@Elmar: Right now Torrents seem to be the only option..
@Everyone: Yes you can multiboot leopard with other OS’es.. For more details on this lookup the OSX86 wiki..
is it original leopard or theme or demo version and will i be able to download softwares from apple.com and how can i change internet broadband changes please tell? and i also want to tell u that u have worked gr8 u r a genius ?
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 ???
@Amit: I suggest you don’t try to Install leopard on your PC.. I’m not very sure if you able to complete the installation. I’m sorry if I was a little bit rude to you..
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 ?
Hi,
Does anyone successfully installed this on their PC already running Windows XP. Also will it affect programs that were originally working on windows system?
Thank you for your help.
g
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..
jTiago PT
Amit- I think maybe you should get your general computing skills to a higher bar before trying something that is a little tricky, as this may prove to be. Any time you install a non-native OS you will probably be swimming in troubled waters.
Also, the best way to get help is to sit, breathe, and ponder your question before posting so it comes out in a legible manner. Thank you.
Karthik- Thanks for the guide, Im happy with ubuntu atm, but this is something I’ve been wanting to try for a while. Any chance we can get an article on extended compatibility? (i.e. battery usage, quirks, stability, etc)
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?
Hey karthik kastury thanks for this man i have bin trying to get leopard to run on my pc for about a week now i hope it works. do u now if its on any private torrent site keep up the good work man.
if you continue with this posts the next step would be…leopard preinstaled in my pc?
Can you install this as dual boot with other OSs on the computer with a grub menu?
Christ man, just try it.
Loads of folks waiting for a seed.
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??
Hi, great job on this and thanks for the torrent as well.
One question, do you have any idea whether or not my 8800GT 512mb video card will be supported under Leopard? I have serached but found no confirmation as of yet, just curious whether its worth installing it or not.
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.
The d/l says it’s for SSE3 processors only, do you have anything out or planned that will work with SSE2 processors?
Thanks
Can’t I buy a new Leopard DVD from Mac and install it on my Core 2 Duo processor laptop?
BUY A MAC. WHY EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO RUN LEOPARD ON A PC? YOU BOUGHT THE DELL PIECE OF SHIZNIT. LIVE WITH IT.
/* 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 */
Hey, can someone seed the file? I’m stuck at about 58%, and I think a lot of others are too. Thanks!
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
How about file system?! Fat32, NTFS or …
we need more seeds guys. 61% is about the limit everyone has reached.
*3* seeds and 3900 peers.
This is very cool. Just bought a macbook for my wife and I was wondering about doing the same thing on a spare pc I have. One question, will the patch/hack work if I was to try the OS X dvd that came with the macbook? I’m downloading the torrent now and it has 6 hours to go 175 kb/s.
just waiting on 67%, people seed please
The ISO should be 7.5 or 6 GB? because all the releases that i found are 6 or 7.5 GB…
And you said that Its about 2.09 GB…
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
what is iso dvd-r plz tell me?
3 seeders
4185 leechers!
Is there anyone that successfully downloaded the file?
What’s inside? Seems a zip file and only 2GB, where is the rest?
I’m stuck at 85,4%… anyone knows a better way to download this???
I downloaded the file, installed it on a Sony VGN-N365E laptop with core duo processor. I booted from cd, It showed dos errors for about 30 minutes then, started up OSX install. i had to reformat a partition on my HD for OSX extended journaled, The install completed and Leopard is running great, Wifi works, and its even faster than my Macbook 13 nch with the same processor. However, there is no sound and i MUST boot from the disc to get to the operating system. Afterwards i can eject the disc and use the mac as usual. The only other, small glitch i noticed was the tap to click on the touchpad not available and the battery bar doesnt exist. Besides that, great job on this OS!!!
paulo you should get a better computer i am allready at 85.8%
(way ahead of you)
just kidding, why people do not seed?!
@Yellow Snow
please, please seed again.
there are 30 seeds now….but the seeder:leecher ratio is hovering around .006 this number should be up around 1.00 and higher for a good, stable torrent.
The download speeds are great until ~86%…..based on my last post this number is good, i guess. It is up, which means someone is connected to a seed.
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
I am seeding, will continue for a few weeks
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.
im at 89% downloading of speeds of about 0.1kb/s!!!!
this is ridiculous!!!
SEED
SEED
SEED!!!!
its the only way
@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.
*what rate are
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.
speed – 0.01 kbs
slowly got to 90.4%
how many people installed allready?
I’m at 92%/4 kbs been that way for hours…
Cmon guys plz seed. A lot of people are stuck on 93%. Why is it so slow after hitting that percentage?
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!!!
4000 users currently stuck at 93.8%. I think the seeders need to get back on this.
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.
from 4 seeds to 2 if that is not being selfish what is???
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?
if i dont drink coffee, what do i do in the last part of step 1???
plzzzzzzzz help!!!! i really like this os!!! plzzzzz im desperate!!! thx!
if tea would do, plz let me know!
Pease evrybody… seed
i’am ok to seed, just tell me how to do because i don’t know
53% ; 110Kb/ss
Someone please seed the torrent. There are hundreds of us sitting at 97.1% and we can’t progress with the download.
I intend to install on a p4 3.20 GHz SL7E5, can anyone tell me if the PC-EFI is going to work for me?I’m guessing it won’t but I’m not sure what implications that will have on my installation?
How much RAM can Leopard address and use? This used Intel D865GBF board can go to 4 Gig I believe, shoud I load it up? I never had more than 3 Gig in it because of 32 bit Windows inability to use more than 3.5.
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!!
Please, Please, Please more seeders…. I am at 97.6% and stuck….
I was getting 1.1 MEGAbytes per second until it died at 97.76%…
By the way, has anyone confirmed whether or not this will work on a Pentium D? The processor specs are not clear about that.
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
There are probably no seeds because everyone is too busy reformatting their machines, or running osx in a different partition than the one they downloaded the torrent in.
Hey guys did it actually work for anyone? I booted it up and my computer keeps restarting when its trying to load the kernel.
Downloaded the torrent, burned the DVD, and restarted several times, only to be greeted by a box telling me I need to restart my computer. Googled it, and apparently it’s a Kernel Panic, which doesn’t help me much.
Is anyone else having this problem, or does anyone know how to fix it?
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
every time my computer starts to start up i hit f12 so i can boot from cd/dvd yet it still loads my computer like normal… and suggestions
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
update on above i after a little searching found that you have to respond immediately otherwise it tries to look for a non existent file.
unfortunately the dvd activity indicator only flashed a couple times and it is stuck on the spinning wheel and it never boots.
i forgot to mention there is only 256 meg of ram in the machine i wouldnt think that would cause any problems since the boot is very minimal and os x has an always on virtual memory.
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!
okay, installed, then reboot (without installation disc) and nothing happens, just blank screen and _ symbol… any ideas?
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?
Finished downloading it, First batch who reached 100%.. Still uploading, hope it works for my Asus Z96js Laptop.. Many Thanks to Eskurza, Upchuck and the guy who posted its instructions here.. Happy Holidays!
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.
if anyone knows how to get around this prob. could you point me in the right direction. i can’t find anything about it.
cheers
got it seeding right now setting to unlimited, enjoy
Next step – if anyone else has problem with blank screen and cursor blinking – boot install disk, press f8 (in beginning, when asked) and type in boot parameters: “rd=disk0s1″ (without quotes).. this will boot you system using installation disc.
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???
might be something wrong :/ i burned in linux
wait, windows says iso image is “2 621 407 232 bytes” big. if this is the same for you then you have to throw out bloated nero sht.
HELLO ALL, well i finish download but now how to a burn this iso with program i need to use? please help me thks
I installed it and it worked once. After restart I got a black screen with a blinking dash. i reinstalled and the same thing again.
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 guys.
Just tried to install this. But when i get the screen where i have to choose with partition to install it too, there are no partitions, or drives if u wish, shown. Do many more people have this problem, anyone have a solution? Please let me know
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.
Strange it only works if i leave the disk in and wait for the time to run out. then it boots mac from the hd.
pc is a compaq c500 laptop
i 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 install and then it tells me to restart and when i restart it brings me right back to the install screen.. what am i doing wrong
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?
TO IAN
I had the same problem on my P4 Pressie and Asus Mobo. I tried it on my brothers Dell and got it to install. The problem is it’s not booting, it starts reading from the drive and just hangs…
does this work on virtual machine (vmware)?
FYI!!! –heads up, there is a black hat that tried to get into my server…. Had to kill the seed, Keep your eyes open, they are probably using IP addresses out of their torrent client. I may consider seeding again later but for now keep your eyes open! Who ever it was was trying to do some serious damage to my system.
When booting this is what happens…
Ebios read error:0xbb

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)
huh garg zzzzzz
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..
Dima
I downloaded, seeded for a while, and will some more. Then I successfully burned CD, although at high (18X) speed. I was able to boot, got to the load screen, but when I followed the directions and started to erase a partition, it hiccuped–it wasn’t able to load the partition, because the format was wrong. This was an old linux installation I don’t use anymore, I think it’s in reiserfs, but maybe ext3. Anyway, I’m going to use GParted to reformat the drive, and then I will proceed with the installation.
@JANCIS
thanks for the tip “rd=disk0s1″… finally got my laptop to boot.. unfortunately i’ve wiped out all other os except this one.. BTW, does anybody know how to make this one into a dual boot? i wish to have vista in another partition.. Also, my screen resolution is set to 1024×768, but my laptop is 1200×800. Hope someone can help me.. ATi X1600 vcard..
hello Guys it is happening the same to me I have a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P mobo, I am burning iATKOS to DVD-R and when I boot nothing happens as if there was no CD.
@All, Everyone who wishes to Dual Boot Windows Vista/XP with Leopard, please wait I’ll be releasing a new How-To shortly.. Right now I am busy with my exams..
before burnng iatkos to DVD do you have to extract it to another program or just burn it as is?
Thanks again guys
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..

and so i tried it in a hp pavilion 500 intel celeron cpu.
and the dvd started to boot and gave a kernel panic for 10.4.9 and leopard would not work either.
are i know that celerons are intel but do they act like amd’s?
Hey, I seem to have some problems…

France, i have the same problem, i have tried “rd=disk0s1″ but after it, keeps on telling me that I should restart.
I’ve been stuck at 98.8 % for two days. If some one could help for a little bit it would be appretiated.
i have the same prob. in leopard, my pc keeps rebooting after it says Darwin Loads. but in tiger i can’t find my SATA hard drive in disk utility.
Is there any solution….???
I’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?
I Have Not Tried This Yet But I Am Really Looking Forward To A AMD Dual-Boot With The Vista Boot-Loader (If This Will Ever Be Possible)
Oh please, please someone seed. 99.8%… 13 peers, 0 seeds… Two tenths of a percent away… So close I can TASTE it…

I have installed iATKOS though I am unsure if I’ve selected the right configuration settings. I’ve tried several configurations, none seem to boot fully. The closest I can get is booting off the hard disk (but only if the leopard disc is in the CD tray), loading most of Leopard, and coming to a screen that states I must restart my machine. Without the disc in the tray, Bios checks for CD boot, drops down one line, and sits with a blinking cursor indefinately.
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!
to dima:
thanks.. i solved it last night. problem was that i couldnt control mouse pointer to access menus. it just started working one time. pretty random actually.
i got this release intalled ok but it would not boot up. it would simply boot into the installer every time regardless how i booted (letting it time out. hitting any key, or F8 option. ive now successfully installed uphuck 10.4.9 release.
problem is now finding drivers for my acer aspire 5710 as i have no sound, no LAN, no wireless.
How much partition space do you think I need?
We need seeders PLEASE! My first two day download was corrupted, now I’m on my second try stuck at 99.83%!
u can download this on emule in 1 day. and it on works on sse3 machines… i tried
oh no anyone still have 3.75MB ….. 98 % have someone seed the file !?? MANY THANKS!!!
http://apple4.us/images/2007/iATKOS-v1.0i.torrent
When i try to install it just restarts my comp. like it says to press a button to install Leopard then i press but when its loading my computer restarts. what do i do
I have a Intel q6700 Will that still work with this?? Its more than a dual core and i dont know itll work right
I can see 38 peers online on this Torrent, and everyone was sitting on 99.83%. I see it for hte last 7 hours. Can anyone with good ISO image connect to the Torrent, please?
Well, I tried to install this on one of my PCs, and it just got ���stuck��� on this screen when I tried.

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.
Hi, i was wondering if you know of a 1 step process to install tiger. I dont want to mess around with leopard till it gets better, stability wise, and i need it to work on an amd. So e-mail me with info, or comment here.
Thanks!
@Najlaa
Same problem here
ok when i take out the disk after installtion i wait for it to start up and all i get is the blinking underscore anyone can help??
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!
How do i know all of my PC parts are going to work with Leopard? Do you think i will have any problems? i have a Biostar motherboard.
Thanks,
Keyur
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.
1(1) Downloading 0(0) seeding. Oh come ON.
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
for those having trouble downloading search for it on BTJunkie not MiniNova – the one on MiniNOva doesn’t seem to have any completed copies while the BTJunkie one should come down in under three hours (at least thats what it did for me)
now if i could just figure out how to double boot this sucker
^ 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 i have the mac osx installed…then on the startup screen it asks to transfer files… and i say no thank you.. then it takes a little while to load then just goes back to the welcome screen idk what to do or how to fix this
ok that issue solved….now i cant type with my keyobaord and i cant register it to use it!!
hi,my brother have one mac mini with Leopard.so is there any patch that i can use my brother Leopard DVD on my Intel pc without downloading iATKOS.
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!!
Instalation completed Sucess full whats is the activation key of this version. plz tell me. its saying 60 days trail version.
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
ok is anyone haiving a porblem with the keyboard like me?? it wont let me type anything so i cant regitser it to start it… did i do somehting wrong??
is anyone haveing a porblem with the kayboard? it wont let me type.. so i cant go through tthe startup process.
Well I’m trying to install as well, been trying a few diffferent set ups, like kalaway, and brazil patch. So i see a LOT of people posting problems and nobody saying they got this working, this a bunk walk-through? i dont wanna be a jerk but i’m seeing a lot of common problems with no solutions which leads me to belive the authors don’t really care for it. well ill keep trying to figure this out for a bit and post results.
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
@Najlaa
Same problem here too
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
Leopard X64 for AMD X2 processors…??? any plans..?
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
Karthik Kastury I know you are busy with your exams an all..
But a lot of people are having problems with this release and it would be right if you could, as well as anyone else who has successfully managed to install this OSX, to take a minute and explain to others how to BURN and INSTALL it properly.. Thanx in advance!
And yes I am waiting for your guide on how to Multi-Boot this release.
Merry Christmas!
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 am going to buy a new pc with these hardware:
INTEL CORE2 DUO E6750
ASUS P5K
KINGSTON DDR-2 800 1G x 2
WESTERN WD2500AAJB
LEADTEK WINFAST PX8600GT TDH 512M
I am going to install windows xp on it and will it be able to install Leopard on this computer as well as secondary OS?
many thanks
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.
Ok, after 36 hrs of repartitioning/erase/reinstalling…This is what I did
To people who is getting the darwin start but keep rebooting problem…
iAtkos EFI does not support Pentium D proceesor on my case, so after I reinstall Leo without EFI but with speedstep…it is working now.
hope this helps =)
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
Ok I downloaded vmware and tried installing it through there. whell this is what it states. *** Virtual machine kernel stack fault (hardware reset) ***
The virtual machine just suffered a stack fault in kernel mode. On a real computer, this would amount to a reset of the processor. It can be caused by an incorrect configuration of the virtual machine, a bug in the operating system, or a problem in the VMware Workstation software. Press OK to reboot virtual machine or Cancel to shut it down.
Also This Popped Up:System Config File ‘/com.apple.boot.plist’ not found
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.)
I download the file the one with the bootloader is that the right one I put the dostk in the drive I get the apples logo but that is all any ide ?
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.
Hi 2geta!
I installed this Mac OS X put i cant start it! i could installed it put when i start ther is nothing only black screen! why please help!
greez Patrick
Hey
does someone know why the difference between de 6gb retail version and the 2.09iatkos iso??
I installed leopard, it works beautifully, however, leopard does not seem to recognize my wireless, it says “no airport card installed”, nor does it recognize the Ethernet when it is plugged in, does anyone have the same problem? is there a solution?
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
Still confused does this really work
People, Let’s seed plz���
i am 99.8% done and the download speed turn to 0.1KB/s
Come On
Just installed Leopard over my existing dual-boot Vista/OSX 10.4.9 system, leopard installed fine, but when I come to register, I select location and keyboard, but then it won’t let me get past the “time machine” backup/restore screen. In the old install I could quit the registration process by pressing Alt+Q (aka Apple+Q) but this one refuses (shut down or continue). Any ideas? I just press continue without restoring and it dumps me back to the first screen again (pick location). Cheers guys.
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
when i download it, appears many files:
BOOT.
BOOT.CAT
BOOT0.
BOOT1H.
BOOT1U.
BOOTEFI.
BOOTHELP.TXT
CDBOOT.
CHAIN0.
i dont find the iso file please help
does anyone know i/ and when this will come out for amd processors???
For anyone trying to download this iso, don’t use the mininova torrent all of the downloads stick at 99.81%. Use the isohunt torrent, it’s got plenty of seeders at 100%. This is the third try at downloading this, and had I known this before, it would have saved me a ton of waiting.
Now for the install in about an hour.
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?
I had successfully downloaded the iATKOS version of Leopard and the version that uses the three step process with the patch. In both cases I wind up with a blinking cursor on a black screen and it never boots.
I tried all of the suggested fixes which included using the GParted Live CD to set the boot flag and the other ideas which included using the terminal mode on the install DVD iso and entering the Unix commands to make the partition active. I was attempting this install on an attached USB drive.All to no avail. While I would have liked to have gotten this OS working I began to wonder why. Probably for the thrill of getting something for nothing that otherwise cost upwards of $125 and for the joy of hacking.
But to be practical I know a better way to achieve the security of a Unix (LInux) environment without all of the hassles this Leopard install has caused me (Over 48 hours of trial and errors). I downloaded the latest version of PCLinux and had it working in less than 1 hour !
Sound, ethernet , video, internet, and the security of Linux.
Hats off to anyone who can get this hacked version of Leopard to work
on an intel PC. But PCLinux works just fine on any system that has
come out in the last 5 years or so.
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!
Anyone see what I see? First posts were full of shear excitement! You poor depraved windows users were finally going to get Leopard. The next series of posts were impatient pirates eagerly waiting for this luscious OS. And now, the posts are all distress calls. . .pleading for help. “Install Leopard on your PC in JUST ONE STEP.” For me it was one easy step. I bought the leopard disc put it in my Macbook and voila, I installed Leopard. Apparently you all want what Apple has to offer. Just man up and get one, you won’t be dissatisfied.
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?
@ TOM
as far as i understood this topic you only can boot leopard when its the only os installed (so you would have to remove windows).
I have 2 HDDs in my notebook so i tryed it with only one of them and it worked, but at the registration my keyboard didn’t work so i couldn’t continue.
I think we all shoud wait for a “better”, newer release which is more simple to install and works better.
I’m downloading by eMule, after an unsuccessfull try by torrent. Super fast if you have your eMule ports openned!
I succeded install on Dell Optplex 755 with Doual Core 2 and 1G.
Also need change boot disk like others done with “rd=disk0s1″.
Now I need to operate network (Without success now).
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
I downloaded the file in 7 hrs. Got the torrent from mininova and used Azeurus. Do you think this will work on a 3.0 P4? 2 gb Ram…PC3200, PNY GeForce 6800 Ultra… or too outdated you think? I may have to back up my primary rig and try it on there… Let me know what you think…
Forget mininova, get it off isohunt
Hey Macaliscious,
If Apple had of brought out leopard ages ago then maybe we would have got a mac. I say maybe too because the price of them is outrageous.
Have a look at the upgrade price of the macbook pro to get the ram upgraded from 2gig to 4gig. $1000. A freekin $1000. Thats an entire laptop brand new from the shop.
Maybe if the Macs weren’t so friggen expensive more people would buy them.
for everyone who has had the looping welcome screen problem, heres the solution that worked for me and a few others
after installing, reboot and press f8..then, at the commmand line, type in
“-x -v -f rd=disk0s1″ except without the quotes…the installlation should be smooth afterwards
i sitll can’t get this damn wireless to work though!
Will this make me able to run Leopard on my Mac, through Parallels or VMWare? / Thanks
stuck here…
8x4f18ccBacktrace continues. . . 0×2 0x4f18e08 0x51ba74) ) rgs on stack)
any advice?
HELLO, anypeople can say me where y can ger zip patch file, i download iso leopard from minova, but there isnt there the partch file for usb pen, please add me nogales8@msn.com, i need.
thanks.
Hey queppa,
Macs are expen$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. . .
In response to: “If Apple had of brought out leopard ages ago then maybe we would have got a mac.”
It is not like Apple to rush getting things out because of a predetermined release date. Dropping a new OS is a big deal, requiring a lot of TLC. When things are rushed we end up with buggy systems–I will refrain from metioning any specific OS, but I think it’s pretty obvious which rushed buggy OS I am referring too. One gig just to run the OS, come on Bill you can do better than that.
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.
I HAVE A PROBLEM DURING INSTALATION- WHEN I FINISH OF INSTALL LEOPARD IATKOS, AND RESTART THE WINDOW SHOW ME “WELCOME ..AND CONFIGURATION, COUNTRY, KEYBORD, AND AFTER OPTION FOR TRANSFER FILE AND THEN I GIVE CONTINUE BUT THE PROCESS START AGAIN, DONT LETME FOLLOW OR CANCEL THIS PROCESS, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? PLEASE ANY CAN HELPE ME, MI MSN NOGALES8@MSN.COM, THANKS

OK I found it will support my system config. Now I’ve only had time for 1 attempt, but last night I got 3/4 through installation when my system restarted…I don’t know if it was supposed to do that…I’ll give it another shot when I get home from work… If anyone knows if it has to restart part way through please let me know THANKS!
er…why are there only 9 files in the .iso.zip from mininova!?
This guide is rubbish. Allow me to write a guide on how to Build a House in Just One Step using this page as a template.
Step One: Building the house
- Go to Home depot and buy house parts.
- build a house using those parts.
If this procedure was really as easy as is claimed, there wouldn’t be volumous numbers of posts from people who can’t follow your ‘one step’ procedure and zero posts about how to correct errors.
If someone wouldn’t mind posting an actual guide on how to properly configure leopard on common hardware configurations, there are a lot of folks here who would greatly appreciate it.
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
y dosent someon upload it to rapidshare
now i have leopard in my pc but the sound is lower than i had in windows please help me
@mattimus well put…i cant afford it tho, so ill do this…
and, how come when i finish installation, my computer wont start up?
you need to start the computer from bios and select the dvd drive
iATKOS darwin boot don��t install ; problem: it says can��t unmount, no folders, can��t write, error 2…? So, after partitioning with disk utility and gparted for boot flag, nothing happens… BLACK SCREEN WITH CURSOR..
Any HeLp???
notebook pres��rio C571 dual core, 1gb ddr, 80gb sata.
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?
Stephen I believe I have the same issue… not a terrible one because I can use the OS but I would like to not be dependent upon the DVD image… This question should be a top priority to receive and answer…
Thanks
Thank you much, DJ. That was quite helpful.
Now if someone could do a quick breakdown of making a dual boot system with Windows I think everyone’s questions would be answered.
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
I’ve the same problem as Audiosonic; iAtkos installation runs fine but it doensn’t find any destination to install on. I’ve tried to “first aid” and erase the partition but then i can’t mount the partition.
Also used Gparted to set the boot flags. Does anyone has a solution?
Audiosonic you seem to have solved the problem, but it isn’t clear to me how you managed it. Can you tell me more?
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!
Markoh.
i installed leopard but can’t get through the registration setup. they keyboard isn’t working. everytime i hit a key i get a noise but no output. Ideas?
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!
I installed on a new gateway laptop and it finished the install but now when I turn on my laptop the screen won’t turn on :-/
Please help
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?
Here’s the thing guys,
You could suffer through 5 days of downloading (because no one seeds). Then spend 5 hours on configurations so that you can just get Leopard on your PC, and then make some sacrifices in terms of the Leopard functionality (no wireless?).
OR… you can just get a MAC! The problem is still that Apple designs its software around its hardware and vice versa. That’s why the wireless only detects airport. It’s just that simple, Apple software is made for Apple computers. Now, if you want to argue tying and bundling violations, contact the DOJ and FTC.
Mac minis start at $ 600, they are FAR superior to any DELL or HP for that price. Mac books are $ 1000, take the money that you would have spent on “optimization services” at Geek Squad and spend it on a Mac.
However, if you do want an alternative experience, one is that is free of hassles and confines of Windows, do what real gangstas do, get Ubuntu (fast and free!). Ubuntu Gutsy is awesome!
Before you say Linux is for geeks, I have many friends who doesn’t know their way around Windows use Ubuntu. It’s become very user friendly.
So get a Mac, or get Ubuntu.
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!!!:)

I downloaded iATKOS v1.0i OSx86 Leopard 10.5.1 + EFI+ Boot Loader in Mac on minova and burn it. When I try to boot it, the Apple icon appears and it just keep loading. Can anyone tell why it doesn’t work on my computer?
Hey, quick question.. Can I use a DVD-RW? Or DVD+RW? I would like to install now, and the stores are closed…. Thanks
I tried this for the best of a day, i managed to install the O/S on my 160gb IDE drive no probs at all, BUT!, it wouldnt boot into the o/s after a restart message “Error loading Operating System”, i installed the patches that were on the dvd installation disc, and the EFI
tried numerous combo’s and the GParted Live CD method, and still nothing..
specs are as follows
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
3gb DDR2 667 ram
160gb IDE HD
320gb SATA 2 HD
Toshiba x20sp Sata DVDRW
NEC x18sp DVDRW
Geforce 7600 GS
if anyone knows of a solution, please help!…
Hi all
After it says loading darwin x86 my PC restarts everytime.
Have tried on another computer, but same thing happens.
Have tried it with sata and IDE drives, SLI and NON-SLI cards, and still no luck.
Even burned ISO to DVD at 4x speed.
HAS ANYONE SOLVED THIS PROBLEM?
PS. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
My Specs:
Intel Core 2 duo e6600
Asus P5N-SLI Motherboard
Nvidia 8800GTX
Western Digital 500GB (SATA)
4GB RAM
I’ve tried to use all the command line boot options and still can’t get the install to continue. It stops at a line:
Extension “com.apple.driver.ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin” has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style.
Any ideas how to get past this?
Heres the thing: This forum is about installing Leopard on a PC, got anything helpfull?
Buy a Mac? got one
Use Linux? I do
Great, obvious ideas, but post them where they may be appreciated.
Does Anyone Know if this will eventually be able to be used on a AMD processor? If so then when? Thanks

So finally does this work?Are there people who are still downloading the iso file?Those who are,please seed!I’ve completed 30% and now it’s too slow.
mine did the same lance – I finally gave up and put Vista back on after trying ubuntu (yyeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhh confusing) I would like somebody to answer his question please.
ASUL — Peaceful Day & Happy New Year … Tomorrow!
Why You Don’t stay by ubuntu???
When You Wanted OSX instead Vista,
the BEST Choice is ubuntu!
I Work and Play with MacOS & OSX
from 1994, and Im very Glad
to meet Ubuntu!
I only have OSX and WINDOWS,
because my Profession
(Im “IT-Manager” and “Have-To”
work with all the OSes …
=> ubuntu is The Best-ONE and Sure!
Ubuntu was nice I just couldnt connect to the internet without going into the terminal and such. I never did get it to connect through ethernet let alone my wireless card (which was not detected by unbuntu) Too confusing for me since I’ve got no linux experience
ASUL — peaceful Days, Nathaniel!
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
:’(
hey guys ….i’m havin a bit of trouble…have inserted the dvd..it reaches the apple logo screen but then nothin happens and the system becomes eerily quiet….is it just normal and should i wait for some time for any progress????
sys config is ::::
p4 …1.9ghz….256mb ram…ati mobile radeon 64mb…
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?
hi jonny ..i’m having the same problem ,,,what are your system specs???……PLS SOMEONE HELP!!!!HOW TO GET PAST THE APPLE LOGO SCREEN!!!!!!
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:

Is there an iATKOS ISO for Leopard server?
I pop the dvd in and got this message merely :
System config file ���/com.apple.boot.plist��� not found
Hey I’ve downloaded the full file its an ISO in a zip folder I’m about to install it (burn all my music and some other stuff to some DVD’s) ill tell you guys how it turns out.
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
BMK,
I don’t mind doing the research and doing the leg work to get this working. Many times, someone has the knowledge and experience to quickly get around some of the generic problems and can help you get things working in a short period of time. I know it wouldn’t be as much fun as degrading or insulting people, but if the solution to their problem is that they have to research and find drivers, why not just provide a website URL that they can go to – to research their answers.
I started out loading Slackware on my PCs years ago and found documentation in the package and websites that helped me work through my driver/configuration problems. Trying to load the MAC OS is slightly different where it doesn’t seem to have much documentation to research right now. I understand that my laptop may not even be able to handle the instruction set needed to run the MAC OS. I was told there is a utility you can run to check this and am currently trying to find it.
If you’re in a position where you may know where to find the information, but don’t know the exact resolution, please just be kind and direct us in the right direction so we can find the answers on our own. And yes, some may be new to the level of computing you need to understand to get devices to work with Linux or even the MAC OS, but they need to start somewhere.
I’ve been concentrating on college course while working a full time job these past six years and haven’t had time to stay up on my skills with Linux and admit I’m a bit rusty. All I ask is to just point me in the right direction so I can find how to get the drivers (or even build them) and pull them into the iso image.
My 2 cents…. Hope you had a Happy New Year.
@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…?
And…
I have the Dimension 9200 listed here : http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.5.1/Desktops (your link)
I’m currently Seeding iATKOS v1.0

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.

HI U ALL FRIENDS… well .. i don��t have enough money to by a Mackbook (core 2 duo).. well, my question is:
if i put Leopard in a PC notebook core 2 duo, 2gb mem, 160gb HD, USB wifi, firewire. iR, DVDR-w, will i have a computer similar to a REAL mackbook (black) to work as a DJ or VJ???
OR i realy need a mackbook?
please need at minimum 3 answers urgent, to compare..!!!
thanks in advance, DjLeoGandra.
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.
This is a 64 bit version of Leopard, so it won’t install in vmware as a guest because i’m running vmware on a 32 bit vista host…i need a scsi adapter to make this 64 bit version work, any suggestions of how to get a scsi adapter for this os…thank you
i get this message after configering vmware
“The buslogic SCSI adapter is not supported for 64-bit guests in this release. Please consult the documentation for the appropriate type of SCSI adapter to use with 64-bit guests.
Failed to configure virtual device scsi0.”
On Windows you should DISABLE your virus-scanner when UNZIP the archive! I need some minutes to get this out!
er….how about i get XP SP3 and install a Mac OSX leopard pack…that works too
yes, i know i dont get the same benifits, but it swtill works and looks like it!!!

MACBOOK… Hi,…
Here in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, a macbook costs 5x its price in NY.
In NY at AppleStore it cost U$1.499,00, BUT in Brazil(Rio de Janeiro) it cost more than R$7.000,00…!!!
it��s almost impossible, or can i say “a crazy thing” to get one at this price here!!!
With R$7.000,00 and with the sale of my old car i can get another car 3 ou 4 years newer…
Because of this i tought to get a good PC notebook and put Leopard in it.
Let��s talk more..

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?
hi i just want to know how much of HARD disk space is required to install mac osx.. thank you for ur time
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.
Hello
Leopard runs on my pentium 4, 1gb ram with geforce 4 TI 4200…but very slowly…would another grafic-card boost the performance? or might it be another problem?
thanks
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
Please note!
I partitioned my DELL XPS M1710 hard drive and reformatted the partition using the Disk Utility off the boot DVD. It picked up the drive and I started to install. It checked the DVD and it began the install. About 25mins into the install my laptop rebooted (the blue bar didn’t complete loading). It then told me there was no OS. It still showed that Vista was on my C Drive and that something was on my New drive. I couldn’t get my laptop to boot. I had to reformat and reinstall Vista.
Is there anything I did worng?
I’m still on the Apple logo. Can anyone tell me how to solve it?
Works AMAZING. Only thing I’m working on now is getting my internet connection up. If anyone needs help with anything feel free to email me.

hi i cant get it to boot from disk please help.
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…..
Mine just reboots too. if anyone can help please email me at thomas@formula92.com
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 any one tell me how to dual boot along with vista.. Like others mine to boots till the apple logo and restarts. I dont knwo wht i am doing wrong. please help
Can someone help me?

Will this work on a Pentium D processor?
Mine gets stuck on the first loading apple screen. in verbose mode this is the last paragraph (everything else loads fine):
MAC Framework successfully initialized
using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers
Extension “com.apple.driver.ACPI_SMC_Platform_Plugin” has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style.
so how can i change the ACPI_SMC dependecy to only one of those 2?
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.

Thank you for your work
An interesting news for me .just do it
Is this image bootable, cause i cant boot with this image?
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!

Will this run in a VM? I’ve no intention of installing smelly Mac OS on my pc, just want it for testing cause it’s a pain to have my Linux box, pc and Mac all on my desk.
ok.. Ca i install it on my AMD Turion 64 x2 with Nvidia?
as a virtual machine?
I am having the same issue as some people before me. My keyboard isn’t detected during the installation process so I can’t use it in Darwin. Does anyone have a solution to this?
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…
Awesome. I didn’t think that you could do that. cool
Does installing this on my PC format my drive?
You can get the iATKOS v1.0i R2 iso from itchycats. It’s not a free service though, and most of these post seem to be from moochers.
Current download speed itchycats 300+ kb/s, download time roughly 2 hours 20min.
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
Ok, uTorrent is displaying : “Error: Torrent can not be found on the Tracker”
Any Idea?
Nice tutorial though…
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
Hi! First i just wanna thank you for your job. I am very impressed. I am just wondering if you can install this when using an Intel Pentium D processor? Thanks
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?
I installed this version of OSX86 to the first partition of my third hard drive multiple times without being able to actually boot into the operating system. I finally figured out how to get it to boot and I thought I’d share my experience here.
My system was previously a dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows XP setup with grub bootloader. The issue was when I installed OSX it killed grub, but didn’t overwrite it. I tried installing the Darwin booloader to all three hard drives multiple times but it never seemed to actually write to the MBR.
Since I couldn’t boot into any OS now I decided to try to fix grub. I did this by booting off the Ubuntu live cd and running the following commands in a terminal:
sudo grub
root (hd2,2)
setup (hd2)
The commands above overwrote the MBR with grub and made my system bootable again. So once in Ubuntu I decided to see if I could get grub to load OSX. Also from a terminal I did:
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
and added the following lines to the bottom:
title OSX86
root (hd2,0)
chainloader +1
This also, surprisingly enough, was able to boot Darwin with PC-EFI enabled. Hopefully this helps any of the people with multiboot options or issues booting.
Okay, I believe I have made some progress.
I deleted the partition and formatted to a single HFS+ partition, then ran Darwin Boot and OS install…. I get a new “result.”
When my computer starts up (and it doesn’t even load onto Windows now), it displays:
HFS+ partition error
and does go anywhere from there.
What do I do???
Hi all,
The 2.09Gb image is ok and have burn it to dvd. Have followed instruction on Darwin Boot screen but when reboot, it says “error loading os”. From the comments above, I can see that this matter persist. Any clue what may be going wrong with the MBR?

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.
Hey,
One more thing. If I get this running well (i.e. like it would run on a real Mac), what happens when Apple wants to update the operating system? Will everything break on me?
Also, do we need to do anything special to our BIOS?
Should we stay off of the internet when installing or does it matter?
Can I install this directly onto a blank hard drive?
How should the hard drive be formatted?
So many questions!!!
I’m totally stoked to do this!
I’m so sick of Microsoft and Vista.
Cheers.
Awesome! xD
Btw. there are two torrents at thepiratebay.org, but one of them are _FAKE!_ so check the comments before you download.

hi there if i buy a leopard from apple can i install it on my quad core easily or do i need anything else.
please plase let me know thank you….
Ok.. got the file.. tried installing and it just reboots and tries to loard the Kernal again. It never gets to boot the kernal.
Has anybody tried this on a powerful machine?
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.
it keeps telling me to restart halfway through installing ????????
I have the same problem, i have tried ���rd=disk0s1��� but after it, keeps on telling me that I should restart.
OK Guys….. I had a problem with not being able to boot from the HDD. It would only allow me to boot with the iATKOS DVD in the drive. Here is what I found that worked for me… Good Luck:
Download iATKOS_v1.0i.iso from Limewire or any other P2P Site
Burn ISO onto DVD at slow speed
Start up iATKOS installation
Run Disk Utility before installation
Format drive as Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Select Partition
Create 1 Partition
Select Opions… and make sure Master Boot is selected
Label new partition ‘LEOPARD’
OK to create partition
Install iATKOS on drive
System will automatically reboot when finished
***Making the HDD Bootable (without the DVD)***
Download GPartedLiveCD to make Master Boot Partition Bootable
Burn ISO for GPartedLiveCD
Boot GPartedLiveCD
Select Nvidia for Graphics Adapter
At desktop r-click partition, flags, check boot, OK
Restart System
Boot on iatkos install DVD
Run Darwin_Boot and install EFI on Master Boot Partition
Reboot system
Remove iATKOS CD
DONE
The problem was that the iATKOS installation was NOT making the Master Boot Record a bootable partition as indicated in the “One Step Procedures” above. You should know that not everything is one step. Would be nice, but… we are working with a hack here.
Adou’
does it delete all your files you have after you switch it over to leopard?
nobody?
Where is iATKOS v1.0u ..???
I got to the screen where there was an Apple and a little moving graphic indicating that it was active… It stayed that way for 12 hours and still nothing.. Any ideas?
Hey Gurol,
Everybody must be busy with their new OSx86 installation of Leopard.
I’ve got time.
Cheer.
I think I figured out why the OSx86 hack version is so much smaller than the Mac-only Leopard ISOs. I think it’s because the Mac-only versions have to support non-Intel Macs as well. The OSx86 version can obviously be much smaller. I’m pretty sure that is the reason anyhow.
Looking forward to some feedback to my MOUNTAIN of posts. Sorry guys, but I never think up all of my questions at once and, if I don’t post them when I think of them, I will forget.
Cheers!
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).
And I’m still waiting for the TuT on how to dual boot…
thanks 4 u very thanks
BOB;
if you are installing on a PC with iATKOS, yes it will delete your files, so backup!
if you are installing a non-modified Leopard on an Apple with Tiger, no it will not.
Can anyone tell me if this will work on a Celeron M?
Dapiz you mean that if i install this leopard on PC ALL! my files will be deleted? Or only from one partition? If this second option, if i make new partition i won’t loose any files right?
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
hi is there a way to instal it without burning it because i dont have a dvd burner and i have no mony to buy one i have two HDs so any ideas thanks
can i just format one drive and put it on it and start it up?
thanks dapiz987..haha im not gonna do it i have a lot of files to back 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 Jorgal,
That can’t be true can it. There must be some legitimate ISO’s out there somewhere. Feedback from everybody would be great.
Maybe we’ll have to wait until 10.5.2 comes out so that we can jump on it while people are still seeding it.
Cheers!
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.
wajdos;
not sure about partitioning wit iATKOS, THEORETICALLY (dont hold me to it!!) files on other partitions should be safe, that is, if the installer supports partitioning.
sorry i cant further assist you with that :/
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 ^_^
Is this image (2.09gb) bootable, cause i cant boot with this image?
Do i do something wrong??
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.
If you have any ideas about how to make wifi and screen resolution work, please tell me!!!

Has anyone offically downloaded the iATKOS v1.0i OSx86 Leopard 10.5.1 + EFI+ Boot Loader from Mininova. I have been try for about 3 weeks now but no success. I would like to know were i can get the files besides Mininova. Need Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
can’t wait for your guide how to dual boot with vista. cuz i really want leopard and im a total noob.
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
can so. answer the questions please!!! (mine and that of CRISTIAN)
I want mac os x
Hi,
Downloaded 7.8GB Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.iso which has BootCamp setup.exe, .pdf and Mac OS X Install DVD.dmg in it. Took 4 days to download torrent.
For Vista dual boot: there is a program (free) called TweakVI that installs onto Vista, it gives you the option to download and install EasyBCD, which allows for a variety of multi-boot options: other Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.
If you have Vista on your system already, this is a good way to go.
Once I’ve a functioning dual boot, I’ll document it here.

This doesn’t work, it just keeps restarting your computer
I have been going through the same problem as Andy (a few posts before me) and I can’t seem to be able to download this application from any bit torrent source (and I’ve tried about 6 or 7 of them). Does anyone out there know a reliable source that actually has this iATKOS v1.0i OSx86 Leopard 10.5.1 + EFI+ Boot Loader File? Please help. Thank you to anyone in advance that can help me. I look forward to your reply… PunkNugget…
Hey has the AMD supported version come out yet??.If not when is it expected to come?..Thanz..this was a great article
If you see no drives then you need to creat a partition. I went into Utilities and created 1 partition.
will the above mentioned version work in vmware on an amd processor??
i dont think anyone ever answers anyones questions. i still don’t know how to get past the apple screen with the loading spinny thing. it just keeps loading and loading.
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?
I’m wondering how many people have successfully installed this on a laptop. I’ve got a Sony VGN-FZ290 which is just the Intel GM965 chipset and whenever I try to install Mac OSX using the iATKOS image the Apple logo will pop up and the spinning circle thing underneath will do its thing. After this it looks like it doesn’t recognize my monitor because half the screen is teal vertical lines and the other half is gray lines. I read around and some people said that you need to plug the laptop into a screen or use a dongle and I was wondering if anybody else had any input on what’s going on with the strange half blue-half gray screen and whether I can do it without a dongle or an external monitor.
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…
By the way I was talking about trying to download the “iATKOS v1.0i OSx86 Leopard 10.5.1 + EFI+ Boot Loader” File. Again, someone please post this for everyone to see, so we too can have a victory story to share with others about getting this to work on our PCs as well. 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 si to Umang.
You asked about the version for AMD processors. Well, I’m downloadind one that i found in mininova, just search iATKOS and there are two files for AMD, just download the one with more seeds.
I’m also downloading one from rapidshare, but it’s splitted in 35 parts of 100Mb each.
If someone wants the rapidshare links, just email me.
diegosiddi@gmail.com
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.
hey Diego S
Thanks for the reply. Wel now since you have started it ,please do lemme know if it works. N thn ill try it for myself
thnx again

Go to isohunt.com.
I tend to agree about the lack of answers here but maybe there was never an intention to answer any. Whatever the case, I was able to install this OK – at least it appeared to install OK. I get the continual loop of boots if I do not boot to the CD. Gray screen with Apple for a second or two and then reboot. I am a Windows guy and I have seen this in Windows when a video driver is bad or some other driver causes a problem at boot. I just don’t know enough about Apple’s OS to try to add a driver from the install screen. Maybe there is a way to load a new driver from a terminal window. Maybe I sound ridiculous. For what it is worth, I have a Dell XPS M1210. If I go into Utilities and choose System Profiler it seems to see all of my hardware with lots of details. I would think that this thing would boot based on that but no go. BTW, I am using the 2.44GB file from minnova that said AMD patched.
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
i was able to get the torrent with no problems. i am even seeding right now. i downloaded uTorrent first. then went to mininova. did a search on iATKOS. clicked on “v1.0i OSx86 Leopard 10.5.1 + EFI+ Boot Loader” and it popped up in uTorrent. it took a few days (gotta wait for those seeders), but i finally got the file. i will seed the file for a few days in the hopes that others can get it, too. however, since NO ONE has posted here that they’ve gotten this to work, i’m guessing there are some steps missing. if it were that simple (and it seems to be), someone would have replied and said they’d gotten it to work by now. however, i think you need to partition your hard drive first – a section for the leopard OS. also, the writer of this blog states you must have a core processor and AMD processors are not supported, yet all these idiots keep asking “will this work on my 5-year old dell?!?!”.
good luck to everyone. i have to admit, i’m too chicken to try this on my new dell with vista! i’d love to see someone have success with this though and write a more thorough how-to!
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
when i put in the cd it looks to boot ok. I see a white(grey) background with the apple logo in the center and a little “loading” or “busy” icon under it…
but it just sits there like that and doesn’t do anything. do I need to do something else first???
Thanks
Thank you Brandon, IT’S FINALLY DOWNLOADING !!! But I do want to find out where that video is to install it. Do you have that link too? Again, Thank you for all your help…
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.
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
oth and will this work on a laptop with a AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor TL- 60 processor.
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!
to DIEGO.S:
If you are downloading to a FAT/FAT32 location, it will give you that error, as it will not accept single files bigger than 4gig in size. Download to your NTFS partition/HD instead…
Diego.S: If you’re using windows, only NTFS can support single files over 4GB. My guess is that you’re on FAT32.
was wondering is the amd methop would love a one step guide like you have i se some thing on the net just confude about the methods so are you going make for amd i have turion amd its sse3 a hp would love you help
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

hello!!!
I have Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4…. 2 Gb ram DDR2….nVidia GeForce 8600GT
320Gb HDD and i have installed on pc Windows Vista Home Premium…
this leopard works???? Can i do dualboot???
thx
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
hey guys im not sure about the intel users but to any amd users still reading which is highly unlikely but i figured out how to get it to load. you have to hold f10 right when the cursor in the top right corner starts to blink. i have absolutely no idea why this works and what it does but it seems to work for me. though for amd you must have the amd patched version not the one supplied on this site.
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?
hey chris,
thnx for the info…cud u plz tel whr u got the amd patched version from??
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!
According to evryones results, It looks like this dosent work! Ill just cancel my download
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.

It is good torrent.. PLEASE SEED!!
Thankyou
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)
To JUSTIN HULBERT
You are experiencing a kernel stack error in which your processor gets reset. Unfortunately i don’t know how to fix this problem, but i maybe you can google “kernel stack error” or something to the like to help you figure this clumsy OS out.
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, i��m trying to install leopard but it stops at the apple logo screen, i don��t know what to do! i��ve tried it all.
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
Hi well i downloaded the ISO burned fine at 2.4x with ashampoo burning studio but when it checks the disk for consistency it fails and if i skip that then when installing it just stops then after about 10min it says error please clean the disk and try again.
I just burnt the disk and its brand new not a scratch in sight has anyone else had this error or know what to do about this. It might be a hardware error as my HD has been playing up so im of to test it on my PC now and see how that goes.
Thanks in advance for any reply’s
Jay
Okay it just get stuck at the apple loading screen on my PC like many other people.
Can i download this to a external hard drive then just boot the disk up and use leopard?
or do i have to reformat my internal hard drive?
also, does this do anything to the bios?
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?
I know that the apple screen can hang if you don’t have HPET enabled in your bios. If you do a diagnostic install you can enter -v -f to get all of the error messages and see where its hanging.
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.

PLEASE HELP.
never mind…. I just reread the whole post and I realized that VAST majority of people here didn’t manage to install right… obviously we need a new version as this one is not working well….
anyway, if anyone has the solution for my problem above, please advise!
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..
hi everyone i need help on installing iatkos v1.0, the problem is this. i booted on the dvd then after darwin loads there is a selection to either press enter to install and f8, so i choose and press enter to install iatkos when its starting it keeps on reseting my pc what seems to be the problem can anyone help me? please help i really wanna try this one thanks in advance.
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?
to the boss!!!!
I succedded to install it on my laptop! I can see the welcome screen and need to follow up, but it stack on “transfer your information” I choose “do not transfer now” but it keep going to the begining…any Idea??
Thanks
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)
problem has been fixed, but I am facing a new problem, I need to leave the installation disk inside to boot up! If I take it out I am getting “HFS+ partition error” msg…any idea?
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 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.
I have the same problem of Coyr and don’t see solutions in any forum! Why does nobody answer? I hope that question has answer… Thanks…
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
First installation I choosed the Nvidia drivers than it recognize my 7700GO card, I read somewhere that I dont need to choose the driver for installation, for the second installation (some other problems) I did not choose it but than it did not recognize it…now my OSX is working good, I installed some SW all working, even my Audio and BT, but no WiFi
So all people, CHOOSE your nvidia,ATI drivers thru installation!
Anyone succedded to have WiFi??
Please seed!

Lukey:
I used the cdburn utility from microsoft. It’s DOS command line
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
I’ve installed it,it passed welcome screen,than it asked me if i want to transfer files from other pc and i clicked no,,now it stucked and it sometimes loop back to welcome screen ??
WEKS,
Shout down you PC, hard shoutdown and do it again, it took me 3-4 times than it works…
If you’re having boot problems try starting up with the shift key pressed this will take longer to boot but will boot into Safe Mode. Once booted go to disk utility and click on the hard-drive to select it and then click repair permissions and then re-start. I’m not saying this will work but it may be worth trying if you’re having problems. Live long and prosper, Ste.

Question: When Converting From Xp To Leopard, Do You Have To Reformat Your C: Drive And Delete All Of Your Music Video and etc.
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…
SEAN, when I formatted one partition with Partition Magic (FAT32), I had this problem. The ���disk utilities��� showed the partition, but after erased and format in HFS+, nothing show up in the ���where to install��� box. I suggest you to format in FAT32 on “Paragon Manager” before using “disk utilities”…
Sorry for my poor english!
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…

Can someone explain to me on how to do it please?

Kobi,
You have to install leopard first and the a other partition

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.
Hey guys, help here! I’m getting “Still waiting for root device” when i try to install the OS. What should i do?

Can I Install OSX X86 on External HD? A USB HD?
i cant get past the apple logo. Some please help
I downloaded the iAtkos iso image for amd from mininova. I tried installing it on VMware workstation. But it gave me an error sayin ‘/com.apple.Boot.plist’ not found
any suggestions..it does not proceed any further
KOBI > I installed in an external HD (USB case). I didn’t want to do changes in my Windows partition…
Ok, I’ve read some of the comments on here and I have to laugh. Some folks should NOT be even using computers if they do not understand some basic concepts.
1. The iso is in a zip file. You need to unzip it first (XP, Vista or Linux can unzip)
2. You burn this to a single layer DVD using your favorite burn tools. Alcohol 120% is one I like and it has functions such as Demon Tools to mount (huh huh I said mount) a virtual drive.
3. The reason the size of the iso is 2 gb and not 6 gb is that much of the stuff that is on the Apple dual layer DVD has been removed to fit in a single layer DVD.
4. If you do not have one of the supported processors (SSE,) it is NOT going to work on your Pentium M, nor your Pentium 4 HT.
5. You can indeed boot from a USB hard drive as long as your pc supports booting from USB. Also you need to set the MBR as well as the boot record on the drive.
6. If you have files on a NTFS format drive (XP, Vista) or on a ext2 (Linux) you WILL lose data unless you back your stuff up.
If you have any problems with any of these steps (like what is a mbr, or what is NTFS,) maybe you should NOT be doing this. Get your mommy or daddy to buy you a macbook air with leopard already installed.
Jeez.

I just downloaded the iAtkos iso and burn it.It boots but the setup doesn’t initialize. Please some help
Hey, i have a ipod video 80gb can i put iAtkos so when i plug it in to a computer and restart it will it boot iAtkos ???
Hey,when I pop in the DVD into my laptop and I start up BIOS, how do I have to install? can anybody help me??
Greetings from Holland!
Download the iAtkos iso from mininova and burn it, right click on the image and select your burning software.
make sure your pc is set to boot from CD Rom first, load the dvd press any key to boot from dvd,you gonna get a grey screen with apple logo,it take 1or2 min to load .you should get blue screen with grey toolbar on the top,select utilities from the drop down window select disk utilities ,choose a HDD and formated ot to MAC extended (journaled) after formating you should see your HDD click on it and click continue and install.
ps it’s a long process though i install on an AMD PC with no problem

Hi…..
I have installed Leopard. I’m dual booting it with XP……I have used Acronis Disc Directer OS selector. But when I am trying to boot Leopard….i get an error….INVALID SYSTEM DISC!!
What do you recommend I do??
Thanks
I’ve got a Toshiba Satellite A-100-168
Centrino Duo
Don’t works:
ATI x1600 (resolution 1024×768 instead of 1280×800)
Intel HDA audio
Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
Where can i find the drivers?
Thanks!
P.S.
Booting works with ToH:
1)Install in a pre-formatted partition
2)Boot from DVD; run /usr/misc/script.sh
3)Reinstalled grub bootloader
4)Add a line in /boot/grub/menu.lst like windows

I have an ASUS G1S. The machine is pretty much likely the Macbook Pro. However, I wasn’t able to install. When I boot the DVD, it stays stucked in an Apple logo. I left it for 3 hours there and nothing changed. Does anyone have some help? I’ll try updating my BIOS and let you if something goes different.

hey frollickswtihbunnies,
you need to put this file in a torrent client like “utorrent” (google!),
than the “real” download prozess will start and THAN you must wait a long time
greetings
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.
Mugz
One more thing… if you guys think there is an easy way to work around this what i explained above … let me know..
good luck…

hey thanks for the post it is very helpful and it cleared things out in a much better way i tried installing it earlier but was not able to do it..it just stuck on the apple logo…i am again trying it again but before that i wud just like to ask u one thing..
see i am using my 120 gig hdd to install the leopard os..but beside that i have 4 other hdd that are windows formatted and one contains windows vista on it…so i just like to know if after installing the leopard on my 120 gig hdd will i be able to make leopard see my other 4 hdd without any problems and without changing any file system cause i cant afford to loose so much data on those hdd…
my system config
intel p4 dual core 2.8 ghz

Problem: iATKOS_v1.0ir2.iso [2.6Gb] that I’ve got and burned onto SONY DVD-RW Ver.1.1/2X 4.7Gb only contained 9 or so [I've already formatted it] files when viewed from Windows Explorer or Total Commander. However, when the .iso was extracted [not burned] using MagicISO, it showed 25 files, altogether equal to 2480Mb when ready to burn. The files include .fseventsd, .Trashes, .vol, Applications, bin, Install Mac OS X.app and more and two HFS+ private directories. What would be your recommendation on all of this: should it stay or should it go?
Second problem, a bit simpler: the Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2].iso that I’ve got weights 4.698MB and simply doesn’t want to boot/work at all. Same equipment was used to burn the image – Nero 8. Same goes: what would be your recommendation on this one?
PS. My laptop [Inspiron E1505 Intel Centrino Core Duo] has MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, 1024MB DDR2 and is fully capable of running Leopard [at least that's what I believe].

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
regards
do email me on kartikaye.tripathi@gmail.com
Update: the 4.698Gb version works [it installs fine] up until the grey Apple screen w/ the logo appears; after approximately 5 seconds, it turns black and either does nothing [stays black indefinitely], gives me root access [#root:...], or hangs on “APH is supported” line, right after a problem w/ wireless card/driver. I tried switching the wireless and Blietooth off in BIOS, but that didn’t help. Any recommendation?

Ok, after doing some more research I ask that you please disregard my previous post. I have gotten past all of the ���loading pages��� (ie. Apple Logo with scrolling circle). I am able to get to the very beginning of the actual install process. My problem now is that when it asks me: ���Select a Destination-Where do you want to install Mac OS X Leopard?��� Nothing appears for me to select. After researching this problem I now know that I must first format one of my HD partitions from NTFS or FAT32 to HFS (also Mac Extended (journaled) I believe). I am not quite sure how to do this but I tried my best using the software on the DVD. My only problem now is that I am unable to use my keyboard to input a new partition name or something like that. So now that I am thoroughly confused, here are two (2) questions that I have:
First-How do I exactly format one of my HD���s to the proper Mac format? (the steps would be nice)
Second-Is there some button that I need to hold down in order to get my keyboard to function again (I will list my computers specifications at the end)?
The only reason that I am really doing this is due to the fact that HP sent me a corrupted file of Vista and seems unable/unwilling to fix it. Apparently I am running a non-genuine version of Vista straight from HP *shakes fist*

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
I have a Problem,

How I got mine working:
I had the same problem as you i tried alot of different stuff bit i typed in space?. (Didn’t actually type space just pushed the spacebar.)
—————————————-
I have a problem.
I have it mac leopard running but i don’t get any sound. I tried to play songs in iTunes but it says playing but the numbers don’t go up/advance and i get no sound. Can any one help?? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
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!
hudreckb,
You do not need to format using windows commands. Boot through the DVD. Get to the setup for leopard. Once you accept the terms and conditions, it should bring you to a screen where it shows your hard drives. Now, on the top menu bar you will see utilities. Click and enter disk utilities.
Now, I am not sure how many hard drives you have, or if you want to partition a single drive. Based on that I can tell you what to do next.
But if you want to install leopard on a single hardrive with no partitions, after you come to this step, follow the instructions before.
You do not need to pre format your drives before you boot in to leopard. When I installed it, I had Vista running on my laptop. So both my hardrives (Not Partitions, 2 physical drives) were in NTFS state.
Hope this helps.
MUGZ,
thank you for the tips. i would try them but i am still not able to use my keyboard. any ideas?
hudreckb,
hmm … you said you have a laptop right? Can you see if the Alt+Q button works? See if any of the keys work. If they are beeping they are working. Just not registering where to type. If they are not beeping, try plugging in a USB keyboard or a PS/2 keyboard if you have a port. Usually, drivers for such basic devices should load without a problem.
If not, you might want to download another version of the leopard-AMD. The same thing happened with me, The DVD I downloaded the first time, did not install properly. I had to try 3 before I got it right. So if nothing works, it might be that the drivers on the DVD have not been copied right or corrupted.
As far as I know keyboard drivers should be installed automatically, since there is no way you can put a driver in to the DVD. Usually most BIOS support USB keyboards.
Try these options and see if they work. Another site where you could get the version of leopard would be phazeddl.c om, that is if you are using rapidshare as your download source
Let me know.
Thanks for the time!
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 to all the people that cant get the os to load even after you type:
-x -v -f rd=disk0s1
try tapping enter right after the screen font changes to the smaller size. Keep tapping until you see that you are actually moving the cursor
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)
Hello,
I have downloaded the r2 patch but the link to the instructions was bad. can someone please send me a link or post them on here for me. thanks Also what all does this patch include.
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?
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
There could be two things wrong with your partion:
A. You need make sure that your partion is selected to boot.
You can do this by making a gpart live cd. Then boot that up and choose auto config. After that loads choose your partion right click on it and choose flags and select boot. Restart with eject cd and pop the ISO that you used back in. It should automatically load to leopard for you to start but if it restarts or stays at the cursor screen then type -x -v – f rd=disk0s1 (if it is that partion, but if not you could always go back into install and go to disk utility, click info to find partion name). It should now work but if your pc still restarts try tapping enter after the text that says loading and only when the text becomes a smaller size. You should be able to get it to work now.
B. You installed bootloader with efi. If A did not work then erase partion and install without choose no patches and see if that works
Can anyone say if this works on a Celeron M, 1.46ghz?
hey guys, why don’t you help me?
greetings!

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!! [=
My PC’s DVD drive is broken can i burn it to a CD? or is it not big enough. Will this work on a dell dimension 2400 can i boot from IATKOS from a external hd?
thnx
john
P.S.
I own a mac as well and im doing this for my sister i mangaged to install mac os x leopard onto an external hard drive and made it bootable can i boot off it on a PC or will it not work?
Dear DUDE_VIRUS..
Namaskar
Well i shoud just take u back where u chose customize button…
the Darwin boot is the key and u have to do a trial and error…
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
Having same problem as Destructo
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?
Hey, been trying to install leopard on my intel Centrino Duo for about a week now and im as close to giving up as doesnt even matter! Ive tried nearly every release – kalyway, Brazil Patched, iAktos. Ive tried every combination of extensions after pressing F8 and iv got it to the installion page about 3 times, but either it says there is a problem with the disc, or starts the installation and panics…
What i dont understand is why one time it works using -x after F8 and then the other 100 times i try that it just panics… its driving me insane!
Any ideas??
thanks
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?
People are probobly getting sick of me but, its seems to me people with AMD processors are having an easier way to go then those with Intel Processors. I have that intel core 2 duo 1.73ghz intel centrino technology
and I can’t even boot the install. You guys are smart to be able to get this far, and get it to work with alot of peoples computers. Im really sure that this should be able to work. If anyone at all has had an installer stop at the apple logo and got past it, Please let me know and share how you got past it I’ll do the same for you. ^_^
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.
hi again. Thought id elaborate on what i said, the error i continue to get is
panic(cup 0 caller 0x001AE535): “Local APIC error\n”@/SourceCode/xnu/xnu-1182/osfmk/i386/mp.c:683
Anybody understand what thats all about? am i wasting my time trying to get this to work? Really wanna buy a mac but i wanna try the OS first.
Any help would be appreciated?
Thanks
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
purchased leopard last week. after installing, and when registering leopard with apple, does a copy of your system info go to apple servers?
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.
ok bigfatty
The reason you can’t get those to work is because you don’t have compatible hardware that will work with the leopard system.
Next the reason that you have to keep booting innsafe mode might be the fact that you have to forceboot because according to leopard it isn’t supposed to be on a pc.
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:INFECTEDCO
After Completley Wiping Out System And Reinstalled With Just Using All efi Options And The Broadcom Ethernet Driver It All Works.
The Only Thing That Doesnt Work Is The Sound. The Specs Of My Laptop I have Already Posted On Here And its not dead exact as macbook but very very close. If u or anyone else knows how to get sigmatel aduio to work let me kno thanks.
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.
For all the people with troubles… get yourself a mac mini or something
Something that is made for leopard
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.
RE: Bigfdaddy
Wow ok that is pretty cool that you were able to get the wifi working. Can you post the guide so that I can see if I could get my wifi to work, because I am using a 1500 dell mini card.
Also about updating I would say hold back on it unless you are quite sure that it will work on your comp. Many people who have updated haven’t had there leopard work again until they reinstalled, you wouldn’t want that
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
I AM TO 42.3% STUNK.PLEASE DO SOME THINK
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:

Any others I missed I apologize, but there are several different people in this guide, so thanks to you all as well if I missed you!
THANKS TO HEXIDECMAL FOR POSTING THIS. MORE OF THESE CAN BE FOUND ON INSANELYMAC.COM
THIS GUIDE WAS WRITTEN BYE HEXIDECMAL NOT ME SO ALL THANKS GOES TO HIM AND THE WHOLE INSALEYMAC.COM
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

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.

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?
Apple sees my wifi card as broadcom 4xxx when i boot up with -v rd=disk0s1.
Tried installing the 10.5.2 update like it stated in my previouse post. It worked for me but i lost my audio and wifi. So reinstalled 10.5.1 and know when i repair permissions i get Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent” has been modified and will not be repaired. How do i repair or fix this problem. I have never seen this till know. Also i have lost the speaker icon up top but still get sound. Cant figure out how that happened.
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.
i installed it, then it said restart, but when i restarted it, it just keeps trying to install itself.
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.
Keep the cd in and when it pops up to install. hit the f8 button then type -v then hit space bar then type rd=disk0s1 that should get u into
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?
I was looking around, and saw that the installer had a way to partition. Should I do it within there. I just got confused though because I already have 2 partitions (XP and Recovery), but I didn’t know whether to select “1 partition” or “3 partitions”..
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.
If you could not get any of the os selectors to work you could always turn to using the gpart live cd.
Choose auto config then allow to load, follow directions.
Then when you see your partions right click the partion you want to boot and choose manage flags. Check the boot box then restart and you are all good
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?
I installed iATKOS onto my dell dimension 2400 system and when it was done it said completed successfully with big check but I can’t boot up to it it says failed boot. Whats wrong?
thnx
john
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.
hey, i was wondering, when you download the ISO how do you put it onto the DVD+R, do you need a special program to burn it? Or do you just right click on it and press send to and then press cd drive? It says there is not cd, are you sure you have to use a DVD+R, not a CD+R?
PLEASE
ANSWER
ME!
THANK YOU
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 burned my image with magic iso no problems. Yes it has to be dvd+r.
U should look for a amd approved disk. U might have just an intel disk so it might not work if that is the case.
When u boot type -v rd=disk0s1. That might help.
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
Re: Bigfdaddy
First of all, I would like to thank you for the support you have already provided me. I’m being really cautious on this right now just because I have some files I dont feel like backing up, and dont want to reinstall XP.
Basically, I already have 2 partitions. My main, and a recovery partition.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y151/partyboy12/acronis.jpg
Basically, do I just create a new one, select use free space of other partitions, set it as primary, No file system, Assign as a letter, finish, and then Commit?
Because I have done that, and it resulted in nothing.
Thanks again for the support you have provided already
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
I install mac in my Acer Aspire 5610. there r few problem i am facing. But for now i need to get a solution for my 802.11 a b g wireless len card. I dont know how to get to work plz help.
Thanks
Is there anyone else still seeding?? My status is stalled stating invalid data from tracker (http://jujubosc91.free.fr/tracker/announce.php)
even better, Apple should just sell a “PC” version of OSX for PC’s
but oops, its already hacked.
GOOD, I hope everyone hacks the hell out of it., next time listen to your user demands apple.
what all are Non Core Intel Processors & PC-EFI ?
Re: Dylan
What i would do is delete the recovery partion then make a knew one with acronis to what ever size u whanted. Then try installing mac. That is the best solution that i can think of.
Re:TAUFIQ
What i would do is pop in the iATKOS disk And install the broadcom adapter. That is how i got mine working on my dell.
Re:TAUFIQ
What i would do is pop in the iATKOS disk And install the broadcom adapter. That is how i got mine working on my dell. Other then trying the other patches for wirless and ethernet.
Yes i agree mac should make it for pc then i would almost gurantee microsoft would have to redo windows period. Mac Rules The World I dont care what percentage microsoft says they rule. If it wasnt for macs sky high prices they would have the majority of people over windows.
Thanks bigfdaddy
can u explain me about iATKOS how to get and get it work.
So far wat i have seen it has an good interface but lack tools to customize. Windows device manager & better power management tools.. itunes sucks ass windows media player is a way better option.. there other small stuffs which wont actual make me a mac user. but i will give it more time after i get it to work.
Thanks again for the help
My computer will not start at all unless i put the disk in and everytime i end up back in the installation. What do i do? I am new to computers
when i do the boot loader thinger…it says that my drive is not valid and does not work…anybody have any ideas
alright…i lied about the boot loader…but when i installed it, it gave me a blank screen and went into the install again…is there anything i can do or am i just screwed???
Wow Mike you are pretty gay. I say you never try to load leopard again and just say that you did….
Anyways I love freaking leopard, super hella fast for me at least. I got everything running that is needed for me to be complete with a comp.
All I need now is somebody to post a link for a keygen to iWork and iLife then I am set to go chya!!!
Don’t you think it’s a bit stupid to “burn at slow speeds” to disc? It’s been proven that discs burn BETTER at high speeds, as this is what the write strategy of the drive vs MID is designed for.
Mike i get the same problem. the only way it will work for me is if i put the disk in every time! and then it goes onto leopard brand new asking me my information!:@ is there a way this it will just boot off my hard drive? is there something im missing out?
I love Leapord Its Mad Fast With My laptop. Everything works. Sound,Video,Wifi,Trackpad. If u need serials download Serialbox That will have what u whant. I also noticed Bootcamp Is Taken out from iATKOS Install.
As Far As Bootlader When U have Disk In And it asks u to install hit f8 and type -v rd=disk0s1 That should help out if not try reinstalling.
RE BIGFDADDY my computer wont start up alone i have to use the disk wich is very annoying how did you get yours to work? thanks
maybe i just cant do what i am trying to do. I have a 500 gb external hd that i am trying to install this onto. I made a 100 gb partition formatted to mac and thats what i want to install it onto. I want to save my xp professional sp3 that i have installed on my internal hd. once i install it onto the external hd, and i try to go and boot it, it brings me right back to the installation screen. Is there something i am doing wrong or am i just screwed???
and tinks, what do you have to do to get it to work???
I dont know lol ive had it work before about 5 times but i have to install it every time!!! :@:@ the only thing that is annoying me is that it will not boot from my HDD!! just from the actual disk ive tryed the method that BIGFDADDY has told me and still no worky:@ if you find out give me a shout please
Re: Tinks
The way i have it to boot with out disk is having 2 partions. 1 st partion is mac 2nd is vista. Every time i boot up it says push f8 for advanced startup options then i just hit the mac and it runs. without disk being in.
Know when i didnt have the 2 partions and it was jsut mac i always had to use disk. It seems as tho even with the hard drive set to boot with jsut mac the boot loader doesnt recognize mac being their unless u have another operating system installed for it to scan or the dvd in that scans that hard drive and sees that mac is their.
IF U HAVE JUST MAC INSTALLED KEEP DVD IN AFTER INSTALLING AND WHEN IT BOOTS HIT F8 THEN TYPE
-V RD=DISK0S1.
That is how i got into mac with itself installed
Thanks alot BIGFDADDY ill try it out now ive only just got rid of xp and vista ultimate, starting to bore me lol but if i must put vista back on ill do it ill try the F8 option after this installs agen because ive only just burned another disk. This disk is actually working when the consistency part comes up! unlike the first disk.
Cheers
After u install mac and boot into it the first time u will have to enter youre information in. As far as the eternal hard drive i have no idea about that since i dont have experience with trying to instlall it.
So next time i go to turn on my laptop i can start up mac without the disk right lol i think its doing it all now i typed in the code you told me and now waiting
yea…when i boot my external hd…it just goes to the install screen again…so are you saying if i hit f8 and type that in…it will/may work???
Mike mine now works i followed this guys rules took bloody ages and was loosing patience but it works now http://www.techvideonews.com/view_news_link.php?nlid=80006&p=1
Hey people,
downloaded and tried the install on my celeron M Compaq laptop, at first it worked, then it didnt.
reinstalled it on my external usb hard drive and get stuck in a loop at the transfer data from my old mac stage. each time I reboot and use the rd=disk1s1 (as this is my external partion) but keep getting stuck at the loop
Can someone post what they did to pass this problem?
i have one question…i got it all installed and the boot loader and everything…when i pick to load mac os x86, my computer reboots…it brings me to the gateway screen and then to the select an os screen…did i do something wrong or did i just not do something at all…any ideas anyone???
ok worked out the boot flag on the usb drive was not set, so I can now boot from the external drive. I can even pass the loop stage I previously mentioned but… I have no recognised keyboard… not even a usb keyboard works….
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME…when i load into the mac hd it says darwin boot is loading, and then restarts my computer…any ideas to what i have to do. I coppied the chain0 file into my boot.ini…and i can choose wat os i want to choose from at startup…when i choose the mac os…it loads darwin boot and then acts like it is going to start leopard but it just restarts my computer and goes right back to the os selection screen. i dont know what to do…can some please help??
ok mike make sure that you go into bios and make your 2 cores into one. That solved it for me. It should be under performance
Well, I got everything set to install leopard following a video tutorial. Unfortunately, when I got to the install screen, I would watch it for awhile, get bored, then come back and conveniently it would restart before I could see if the success screen came up. This happened twice!
But, when I started the installer back up, marked the partition as active, and restarted, my system sat at a blinking “-” sign
I guess my HP a350 is not suitable for it
Btw, thanks again for your help bigfdaddy
i dont have a duo core processor…i have a pentium 4…so that cant be it…i think i will just try reinstalling it…again…jesus…this is getting frustrating

Anyone have a quick fix or an idea…maybe a BIOS setting?

Hi,
Anyone came with an updated version including latest patches ?
Hi! I’ve download the iso and burned it like the guide says, but when I try to install Leopard all I have is the first screen, the one with the apple logo with the spinning sign underneath, but it just keeps on going for hours.
Can anyone help me? What should I do?
I have a Dual Core, DDR2 512, SATA 250 GB and with Tiger running on it.
Any help, you can write me to anbongiorno@yahoo.com.ar
Thanks so much!!
RE: Rajesh
Hey did you make sure to create a partition for you to format into hfs+?
Hey guys.. I have read the entire page of comments and everyone has been so incredibly helpful, I’m hoping someone can help me out.
Set up:
Dell D620 Laptop
1.66 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
1gb RAM
I can get my disk formatted into OS Extended (Journaled), run Darwin_boot just fine and then start installing. Between 1/2 and then end of the installation, it seems that the installation cuts out and reboots the system going back to the “Install” screen. I’ve attempted booting from HD after this assuming that perhaps the install finished and Automatically rebooted. All I get is a flashing cursor when booting from HD after the install.
After reading through some of the posts it looks like using the following commands may allow me to boot up, but I’m truly not sure. I’m just looking for confirmation.
Would either of these, either through the install DVD or from the cursor on boot allow me to boot up into leopard?
-x-v-f rd=disk0s1
or
-v rd=disk0s1
In addition, is there anything special I should be doing for the dual core processor? Should I be installing the PC-EFI? or not?
Anything else I might be missing?
Thanks for any and all help.
Can i install OS X on my computer, and will it work properly..
Intel P4

re: Landers
You have to keep moving your mouse during installation
INFECTEDCO
i did try formatting it to fat 32 i even left it unpartitioned what else to try
its not listed in system profiler in mac installer
“no sata devices connected check if its powered” is wat it says
re: INFECTEDCO
That’s it? Just keep moving the mouse while it installs? After it got about halfway again, it rebooted and then when I finally got it to start booting, it won’t get past the set up section: “Do you already own a Mac?”.
I’ll start over and try it with moving the mouse. Is there a certain amount of time I’m able to to wait between moving the mouse and not? Or does it need to be in constant motion?
Hi,
I downloaded the iAtkos torrent from mininova for amd. Tried installin it in Vmware..however it dint work, gave me an error of some missing file.Another thing, whn i load the image in a virtual drive it shows the disc size as only arnd 580Kb..any help??
thnx
re: INFECTEDCO
Leopard fully installed. However, during set up, when I get to the “Do you already own a Mac” section, I click “Don’t transfer anything” and then hit continue. Following this, it hangs for about 60 seconds, then goes back to the first welcome screen. Any ideas?
Re Landers:
I had the same problem you had (about the rebooting half way)!
I ended up following a youtube tutorial using the JAS system instead.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=VxwuYTnfL-I
Re: Landers
First try going into your bios and under performance disable multiprocessing. This should get leopard to run perfect with no errors what so ever.
If it still doesn’t work try erasing partion and reinstalling. You should only install the efi bootloader and in networking install broadcom. After that you should pretty much be set.
If still doesn’t work right you could always use the updated version. You have to run a program and your iso is updated. You can download here http://etsi.pl/iatkos_r2.html
Hi guys! for anyone trying to install this patch on an HP pavilian DV 1000- 9000 Intel core 2 duo processor, and had any problame loading the disk, then this may not work for you. I know i didn’t for me. But The Toh Patch on Mininova may work better. I was able to install leopard on my HP pavilian dv 6000se intel core 2 duo PC within an hour with no errors what so ever. The only problame is an incompatablity with the Conexant High deff. Audio and the wifi card (everyone knows about that). There is no sound but ev=erything works fine. I have an external wifi card thats mac compatable. my web cam and remote all work perfectly. its twice as large of a file to download so it does take longer.
-Destructo-
Sry Forgot something. If you have a conexant high deff audio card it won’t work at all. If anyone figured out how to install it or get some sort of sound from this let me know!! ^_^
Re: INFECTEDCO
Once I disabled dualcore processing, it worked like a charm. boots up no problem.
Now to see if I can find the proper ethernet/wireless drivers…
Does anyone know if there are drivers avail for the following?
Broadcom 57xx
or
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG?
Thanks again for all help… you guys rock.
Re: Landers
Sorry but I don’t think that you are going to get the intel card to work, because I haven’t heard of anyone who has one that works. I have a dell closely resembling yours, but I have the dell draft 1500 wireless mini and upon booting up the computer it instantly recognized it while saying it was airport. Well hopefully you find the drivers and good luck. As for me I am looking for a way to update leopard to 10.5.2 without losing all my programs that i already installed. If any one knows how do update please post.
re: INFECTEDCO
No worries. After researching around, looks like it works for 10.4, but not 10.5. Oh well. Going back to XP for now. It was damn cool to at least be able to boot leopard on a PC. Hopefully a 57xx patched driver or an intel patched driver will come out at some point.
Good luck with the update!
I noticed their are a few updates in the Apple Update. I have Leopard version 10.4.8
This locks me out from new software, such as iTunes. Is it safe to update? I think last time I tired, it crashed.. probably because it wasn’t patched
can i format a hardrive and then install leopard i have intel core 2 and serial ata hardrive 500 gigs i have 3 hardrives and all of them the same
and i am using a pc to install leopard
im dowloading it, im at 78% of download can i host it on a ftp server or is it forbidden? or maybe unadviced?
could you tell me please when this patched dvd i could install on pc that is based on AMD Athlon64 X2 6000+ ?
thanks
Woot woot ! i’m about to end that download ! It’s around 99,5% completed ^^

Anybody godt an ide on how to solv this problem??
Of course the guide to dual boot is posted after I successfully do it after like 7 tries lol! Thanks anyways though!
About my previous comment though.. Can I update?
I went out to the site to download but I am only getting 240kb on the download. Is the file still there? Has it been moved?
help!! i have the iatkos dvd and it boots up fine but once i get to the on screen instructions it says there is no place to install it? i was thinking it was that my pc that i want to install it on has a linux partition and that leopard wont install on it????
i have just finnished downloading ISO Image and burnt it to a DVD. whenever i pop it into my laptop, and enter ‘ boot-up options > boot from DVD’, nothing happens! It shows a _ for a while, then just starts up windows vista!
also, when i burnt the DVD, it said it was only like 100kb in size, is that correct (as the torrent is 2.09gb)?
please someone help me as i am busting to use mac os x leopard on my laptop instead of windows vista!!!

hello i have a spare computer at home its very old and its not that great any ways here are the specs for it :
Intel[R] Pentium[R] 4 CPU 1500MHz
1.50 GHz, 512 MB of RAM
Which file do i have to install from the [iatkos v1 0ir2.iso] or the
[iatkos v1 0i.iso] file
And second question is can i install it even on Those low specs
I was getting a hang on my Dell at message “���ERROR: Firewire – unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure��� with v1.0i, but that problem went away when i used v1.0RC2 instead.
Ok, if install doesn’t display any disks you must validate your partition is not formatted as fat32 or ntfs, I used the method first in the list (can’t remember which one it was). Normally the partitions would turn up gray, but when you can install on it, it turns black. Might be an important note to you all…. Am now installing on a Intel Pentium 4; 3,2 ghz; 1gig memory (so no duo core). Install looks kinda stuck… (damnit). Oh well, we’ll see
Nope, its not stuck at all=)
Uhhh guys… can I still boot to winxp?
So, i cannot install this version of the Leopard if i have a P4 3.2 Ghz processor on my machine? if not … which it seems like … are there anyother versions of the Leopard that could be installed on to a P4 machine ??
sorry if im bothering u ??
thanks
after leopard gets installs perfectly on my first boot it shows apple boot screen and and says
you need to restart press restart several minutes
I have read everything u wrote here and other websites but I still cant find a solution to my problem, witch is: “when I start the installation at the select partition point I don’t have anything to choose from … I start the disk utility and nothing .. theres nothing there to choose”. Please HELP .. I’m desperate.
thanks in advance
What version of Leopard does this install? Am I able to update? Its not really that hard of a question but I still am getting no response.. and I cant afford to reinstall everything again.
Please help!

Hello folks.
I have installed MacOsX Leopard on my PC successfully, and boots directly from the hard drive whitout any adicional code..
I have a Pentium IV 3.2 Ghz CPU with 2 Gb Kingston 600 Mhz in Ram, an Asus P5GDC de Luxe Motherborad, Maxtor 80 Gb Sata I HD and a Ati Saphire 1650XT Graphic card.
First of all I have created a partition of 15Gb on my hard drive, according to what recomends inihilist in his guide. The hard drive was installed on the second sata master port and the DVDrom Asus Sata 20x on the first sata master port.
I have deactivated the hypertreading.
Leopard recognized almost everything, incluging the network and my kensington bluetooth dongle, except the HD audio integrated.
The only bad thing is that it doesn`t recognize the native resolution of my LCD viewsonic monitor of 1280×1024, offering only 1024×768.
I hope my experience can be usefull.
If anyone knows how to correct the monitor resolution and activate the audio, please tell me.

Hi I’ve inserted the burnt DVD into my Toshiba Laptop (Tecra M2) and it says press any key to install Mac OSX, i’ve done so now it just seems to sit at the grey startup screen with the dark grey apple in the middle with the clock timer thing going around, show it sit like this for ever, i’ve left it around 5 mins so far…..is this normal ?
I got it installed on my pc, but how do I fix the sound? I have wifi, nic, dvd drive, and bluetooth, everything working but the sound. How do I fix it? I have a Dell Vostro 1500.
Does the multi-touch trackpad – “function” work even on my PC? Is that a hardware or software-issue?

After that the partition appears to the instalation screen so i can select it to instal mac os x leopard. i chose to install it with some drivers that i hope to work on my PC, it installs in exactly 10 minutes and then ask me to reboot the computer. I left the DVD into the DVD RW drive but when the computer boot again on screen appear the grey background with a power sign (no a button) and over that a transparent square witch tells me that is strongly recomended to restart my computer by holding for 5 seconds the power button or press the reset button.

Hey there! I followed your procedure, downloaded the ISO file (iATKOS_v1.0ir2) burned it at 1x speed, started from boot however the cursor in the installation acts so weird. It moves after some secs i used the touchpad, and by dissapearing and reapearing in a second spot… i have an Acer Aspire 5600, 100gb hdd (50 with XP and 50 of not allocated space, 1024 mb RAM 1.6 Ghz Processor Interl Core Duo). Have I done something wrong?

Guys,
Watch this video maybe it will make some sense to people who are trying to install it from the start and dont know where to start.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GEZgwh2Eas
When I use the windows using tboot (I found it in a guide, but basically just adds support for more computers) I don’t remember where I got it, but I got mac installed, and no errors came up. My problem is that even using that “-x -v -f rd=disk0s1″ (no quotes) code, I can’t get leopard to boot from disk. I did however get (back to the talk of tboot) the windows bootloader to use tboot to load it, sorts. I get a no hfs+ partition found or something dumb like that. SO I have no access to it at ALL! All of my hardware is supported, but I can’t figure it out.
i love you :*
MUGZ, thanks for the video, but I get no errors messages of any kind. It’s just the cursor acting sooo weird. I mean, I have a laptop, therefore use the touchpad (also because during installation it does’t recognize the external wireless mouse). However, i pass my finger on the touchpad, i wait a few seconds, nothing happens. Then the cursor teleports to another part of the screen, without showing it moving. It’s just one moment it’s in Point A, and the other it’s in Point B. However, all the progress bars work at regular speed, which makes me think it’s not a problem of CPU or RAM… can someone please help me? BTW: I’m using iATKOS_v1.0ir2 downloaded from Mininova and burned at speed 1x
Hello!
First of all i want to thank you for reply’s because it helped me to install leopard but it didn’t worked.

What should i do? please teach me what to do in this case…or teach me how to install leopard corectly if i gone wrong.
if someone can write me an e-mail to talk and to teach me is really ok for me…please help…i want it
Thank you…i am waiting
well..im waiting the relese to AMD to….

i have just finnished downloading ISO Image and burnt it to a DVD. whenever i pop it into my laptop, and enter ��� boot-up options > boot from DVD���, nothing happens! It shows a _ for a while, then just starts up windows vista!
also, when i burnt the DVD, it said it was only like 100kb in size, is that correct (as the torrent is 2.09gb)?
please someone help me as i am busting to use mac os x leopard on my laptop instead of windows vista!!!
my problem =
system config file ‘ /com.apple.boot.plist’ not found.
anyone eles getting this?
Hello Casey, i am facing the same problem with the /com.apple.boot.plist file after i finish to install leopard on my PC.
I boot from HDD and then it appears the file is missing…
If someone can help us all he is wellcomed verry well….

i have intel dule core 2.0 prosesor and Gegabite -g 33 motherboard.Hd-200gb…can i install mac..leopard???
please anybody help me..when i istall it…then below this massege……
Install failed
the installer couldnot creat the folder’/volumes/untitled 1/Base System.pkg.1561T00u2
so…please tell me what is the problems..how can i solve this??????????
Could someone please e-mail me the exact link to get the ISO image if so do it ASAP!
Will I be able to use my PC and Leopard or just one of them?
bump my problem is still not solved after 3 burned disk’s, is there a possible way to burn the iso image to usb and boot from that?
i noe dis is kinda a weird question but i have intel P4 3.2ghz processor is dat a non core?? im not sure wat u ment with non core!!!
plz answer diss i need OS X urgently
!!
i’m having this problem show up “ERROR: Firewire – unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure” there seems to be something appear after the apple logo comes on and then the computer just stoped, and when i typed in “-v” “ERROR: Firewire – unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure” comes up
Non core refers to a single core processor BIGBOY.
Different from DualCore processors that have 2 cores. Your P4 3.2GHz is a single core processor, like non core processor if you want.
I have a P4 3.0 GHz processor also non core.
well…i guess to many ppl have still dudes about if this work or dont…hahaha pls let me tell you that It works! haha i just instaled in a non-intel core, and is runing….
about the guy hos looking the link to download the iso, well if you look in google can found it, but if you just take some time to download a torrent, (i guess you know how to doit), look in the may places that are in the www for publish torrents, (like mininova or piratebay)
this is a good step by step How to…so its easy cake…
for the ones who have a missing file, i guess its becouse a wrong burn of the disc or a to fast download, so try to download the image in low speed, or if you have a lower one….use that…remember that you are downloadin a lot of files (littleones and big ones) so…try that
I very tankfull with this men….i can connecto to intertet now without any problem of a virus, use mac programs, and of course a good looking pc turn ito a mac XD
Nice work men!
ohh thnxs Mihai Neagu, now i understand so i wont be able to run it unless i buy or get a dual core processor, rite?? ohh man i was hopin to try it, i like mac more than wwindows. i hope soon there will be a patch for
single core processors
Umm should i give it a try since i already downloadin it?? do use fink i should?? and also wat dis WHATSUP say?? plz help!
So, I clicked “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” and I can’t subscribe. And now I get every single one of these comments through my inbox, and I’ve read every single one of them, and deleted them all too.
Here’s my thoughts on it all.
Do your research before posting. I know very little about computers and have managed to install OSX on an external Hard drive and it’s running perfect.
Here’s what I did to install it.
I read. And read. And read some more. And googled, and searched, and researched, and DID NOT ASK STUPID QUESTIONS. If you don’t know how to do something, RESEARCH IT!!! Don’t just post questions. Everyone who has successful installed it is probably not going to respond; they’re going to be too busy playing with OSX or getting their drivers to work.
So, to sum it all up, research before you post questions. And if you can’t figure it out after researching, I suggest you give up trying and go back to OSX.
Good luck and thanks to those who have made this available for us in such an easy to use package!
PS> There’s a reason no one lists the sites where you can find the torrents… we don’t want those sites getting shut down, so we don’t name them or link to them. Googling will do wonders…
Can this be burned on a DVD-RW or just a DVD-R?
Also is a Intel Pentium D 2.8Ghz compatible with it?
Thanks,
Jeffery
For people having problems after installing with their hardwares, you guys have to to an important thing while installing. When u select ur drive to install and click next make sure to click on the CUSTOMIZE option and select all that is available there. This would fix most of ur hardware problems.
Good Luck!
So, is AMD not supported yet?
Man, I’m dying to try this, but my Acer is a Ferrari, so it is an AMD.
hey!
first where is the files for USB Flash ���Patcher��� and how big USB has to be SPACE?
Would this work on:
2.8 Ghz Pentium(R) 4
512 Ram
120 GB
32 bits
BIGBOY, i’ve tried to install iatkos v1.0i on my single core processor and it’s boots from dvd, i install darwin boot with success and then i install leopard on the HDD with no other things on it. After installing (abbout 10 minutes) it requiers restart so i restart the PC and then it says that a system file called “apple.boot.plist” something like that is missing.
WHATSUP said that is may be a broken dvd burned but the installer checked the dvd before installing leopard so the dvd is ok.
The part with the lower speed to download or to burn is not ok because checksum is being done after download or burn and the size is compared and if it is ok…is ok…at any speed…bit with bit.
probably i must have done a mistake or forgot to make somthing before install leopard because someone said that i should have an MBR partition or somthing like this on my HDD but i can’t find that in the information fields.i’ve formatted all the HDD and maked just 1 partition but it doesn’t works. maybe is not ok with the drivers i’ve installed or with my P4 3.0GHz processor because it is not dualcore.
I am waiting for someone to help me to install leopard on my pc if they want that because i can’t manage alone.
they’ve made leopard for PC…help us to install it…specially the developpers.
Thank you…waiting for help here.
Hey,
I don’t get any location to instal leopard.. What is wrong?
wow – i just think i realized why all these people are having such problems……it wont install on SATA drives
thats why it reboots when you start it. when i booted from my external usb dvd rom it booted perfectly and when i went into disk utility it didnt show anything at all……just the dvd. damn
hi guys,
Im new to this, i’ve done all the research. I have a Toshiba Intel Centrino 1.7ghz single core, 1.5gb Ram Laptop/Tablet PC, running XP, fed up with how slow it is, so i thought i’d sell and buy a mac, but not necessarily an affordable option.
So i thought i’ll get linux operating system based option, should speed up things, done my research, but having nver used it before and worried whether i’ll be able to Office 2007, & Adobe CS2, realised that these two program i may not be able to use on Linux software, especially since im new to this tyep of operating system.
So? thought it be great to have Leopard, came to this site, and need to know a few things:
1. Is this download file iATKOS, the complete Leopard operating system, or do i have to get this seperately?
2. PC-EFI, what are the instructions for this as i have a Non Core Processor? What is it and how will affect installation, and how do i install considering my spec?
3. Do i have format the hard drive and remove XP completely, which i would prefer to do? Or does it actually install on the XP OS?
4. Do i need to partition the hard drive, before installing, which drive i do install, it on? How to partition the drive if already formatted? i.e. after XP removed? or this part of process whilst installing?
I’d be grateful for your help, this is you can say is my research.. googling all these questions brings me back to this site.. hence..
Fed up with Vista & XP… thanks to guy who posted these instructions..
Sam
Hello everyone! I’ve downloaded the iATKOS v1.0ir2.iso file and installed it successfully (at least its what it seems)..allthoug, it has no drivers for my graphic card (asus ati x550 [yes.. it sucks.. I know]).. after the installation, it starts to run mac os x, (appears the apple icon on a silver screen [loading mac os x]), but it stucks.. keeps on loading, and loading, and loading, and after a while, the screen turns black (the light from the monitor starts blinking) and never opens the OS.. is this a conflict with the graphic card drivers? can please anyone help me? I’d be very thankfull!
PS:
Sorry about the english.. if there’s anything you don’t understand, warn me and i’ll trie to explain it in a better way!
Cheers mates! =)
Hi,

If so, could you tell me if there is a guide or special instructions?
Thanks!

but as soon as the system restarts, the installation starts again……..
what shall i do????????????

I cannot get my computer to boot to the Patched Dvd i burned or the legal copy of Leopard; it just says boot to Cd, but doesnt go beyond that where i can click enter to boot to cd. I have it setup in my bios to only boot to CD and i have taken out my harddrive and replaced it with a unpartitioned one and one that is partitions with FAT32. Is it one of my computer parts thats causing it (the link http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.5.1 doesnt work)

Thanks Mihai Neagu, for your help. Um if u find a way of fixing it or someone helps you can u please reply to me. And also will i be able to install vista if the mac os x leopard installation isnt Successful?? thnx for da help guys i o u!!
Heyy Mihai Neagu and every 1!! u wont guess wat i found, leopard does work on an intel p4 processor theres a video watch it all trust me!!
heres the link:
http://video.aol.com/video-detail/mac-os-x-leopard-on-a-p4–3200/635647520
I keep getting the error ‘/com.apple.Boot.plist’ i have re downloaded the iso and even downloaded a different one, and i have used 3 different iso burners, all to no avail. I see other people are having this same error so if anyone can figure it out, it would be appreciated.
@Rocky
Take your CD out and/or change the boot order in your BIOS so that the hard drive with OS X on it boots first.
Okay. 2 Questions.
1) Why do only some USB Connections work on my PC. My mouse is connected through USB, and works.. but my iTouch (Built By Apple, so it SHOULD work), doesnt even detect power going in to charge it.
Is their a fix?
2) What version of OS X does this install? Simple question for anyone that has installed this. I installed the JAS version (after failing this one), and its version 10.4.8. Is their a way to update without crashing?
Please support.. kick in. Ive asked number 2 like 5 times.
hi im having a problem.. i downloaded the torrent successfully, burnt it to a DVD-RW…. then i booted from the dvd i ran the darwin x86… a white screen with an apple came up and the little swirly loader spins below it… it loaded for about 2 minutes you can hear the disk spinning and the light blinks this whole time… then it goes to a dark blue to light blue gradient screen… this is when the disk stops spinning and the computer completely freezes… am i doing something wrong i scanned over your instructions and you specifically say use a DVD-R this is the only thing i could find that i didnt exactly follow i dont think it makes a difference tho i just thought id point it out…
BIGBOY, hello.Thank you for the video, but there it is just working…
Did you managed how to make it work on your P4 processor?
I want to make it work like it worked in the video…at least like that.
Please contact me if you know more and help me install it. I’ve downloaded the KALYWAY ISO from torrents and i don’t know if it will work or if not like iatkos v1.0i didn’t do.
So i am waiting for your reply…or someone else who knows the problem of apple.boot.plist system file missing.
Thank you!
yeah, Mihai Neagu i kinda have the same problem when i try to boot it up with VMPlayer. before it goes to the apple logo, it says missing boot.apple or somefin like that, well the only way to check is to actually do it. anyways bout dat video im gonna try to find the uploader of that video or at least find a tutorial on google on how to install it. If u can Mihai Neagu and every1 can u please search google for Mac OSX Leopard on P4 processor and give me feed back i would really apriciate it. thnx again!
Ok i asked a few people that uploaded there videos so hopefully they reply, fingers crossed still lokin for a tutorial!
Please people seed thank you very much
I’m stuck at the apple loading screen, same as boc4s. I burned the file to a DVD, and have looked on Google for a possible reason as to why it is stuck at that screen, while the “loading” icon below the Apple emblem continues to spin. I left it for about an hour, only to return to a still spinning “loading” icon.
If anyone has any idea as to why it is doing this, help would be much appreciated.
hey um i also found a video of a guy hu installed iAKTOS on a P4 i left a comment hopefully he replys! if u wana c the video then heres the link:

hey also the guy of that video said this to me.
‘Actually iAKTOS will work on a P4, I didn’t have to do anything special….’
so hopefully this works.

I’ve partitioned the C drive but when I’m up to the restart, OSX does not load. It comes to the boot screen and asks me to select iATKOSv1.0 and then tries to reinstall again. How can I bring it up so it boots directly to OSX? Do I need to use a program to configure my partitions again?
hi guys. who all got it working???
mine’s a charm since 2 months..
my hardware specs
2 gigs memory
250+80 gigs hdd

MOJOJOJO:
I’d be -very- interested in hearing how your system is coming along and how everything works. Right now I’m shopping for a new PC, and if I could build one that would run OSX that would be fantastic. I’m interested in all the details you have to share, specifically the BIOS tweaks!
Thanks!
hey guys when this has downloaded i’ll seed for a week dedicated so it’s a case of you scratch my back, i’ll scratch yo…others.
ahem.

Hi Everyone, I am really confused.
I am having that keyboard problem that a few people are talking about, where when you hit a key and it types nothing. No beep, just nothing for me.
The interesting thing, is the keyboard did work with iATKOS before installation (when I was in darwin boot and such), but ever since the installation finished and restarted.. nothing on the iATKOS disk is taking imput.
Any ideas please?

Guy’s,
This is driving me nuts and i have tried everything to fix this issue.
I have an Asus P5KPL-VM, Intel Q6600 quad proc, 4 gig ram, Asus ide dvd drive with an IDE drive on the same bus which is formatted ntfs and wating for leopard to be installed on it.
The dvd boots to darwin and waits at the prompt.
I have tried these switches but it stops in the same place every time.
-x -v
-v -f -x
-v -f -s
-v cpus=1
The errors i get are
waiting for boot device with uuid 1234567(blah, blah)
then the next line is
ACPI_SMC_CtrlLoop;;initCPUCtrlLoop-pmCPUControl (PMIOCSETPSTATETABLE) returned 0×6354380
then hangs the PC.
Any help appreciated, thanks.
when i start up after install is done, it goes for a while and then says
“Apr 12 08:07:04 localhost mDNSResponder mDNSResponder-164 (Nov 4 2007 13:23:04)[44]:starting”
and stays forever. i can boot into safemode but that doesnt really help. it also says something about ethernet a couple lines above that. any help?
what does it look like once you put the disk in, because i have the apple logo with the spinning circle. I don’t know if this is right because it doesn’t seem like the disk is spinning
Ok im getting stuck on the white screen with the apple logo and the spinning circle. Ive let it sit there for about 2 hours and nothing is happening.
Would it have something to do with the fact that Windows XP is currently installed? PLEASE HELP
Even i’m facing the same problem as Bennason. Also ,how do i install leopard on to my external harddisk?
im having the same problem as Bennason, all my hardwares are supported,
could anyone help me thanks
gsgcharles@gmail.com
ok I finally got mine working. I put in an extra hard drive to install leopard on it so it didnt interfere with Windows XP. For those of you having the same problem, I suggest you go back to the torrent site and download the most recent update of iATKOS. Burn it at slow speeds to a dvd (i did mine at 2x). Then follow the instructions here:http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=87901
They are a lot more straight forward and he even provides pictures. Good luck.
PS- Im writing from Leopard right now
@bennason, what version you downloaded? email me if you get a chance.
Thanks,
ML
bennason,
did you download the R3 version?
Hello, y’all.
Just by the way – did you watch this?
They sell a box they claim to be fully compatible for 399 $,
even offer it with pre-installed OS-X for 150 $ more
(which may get them in trouble with Apple).
Take care.

Did any one installed Mac OSX on single Intel Core procesor yet??
Please SEED! Share with Others. Thank you.
I am totally blind. Have you all tested this to see if once booted to the CD you can hit Apple+F5 and bring up voice over to get you through the installer? Otherwise blindies like myself are gonna have no succfess with this at all. I’m certainly going to give it a try. If you all wanna e-mail me about this, my address is: chrisgilland@carolina.rr.com

Bye
The file won’t freakin’ download, there doesn’t appear to be an error, it’s just inactive, freakin’ sitting there not doing a damn thing. Did anyone else have this problem? I’m using uTorrent. Hopefully it might pick up later, I don’t have high hopes.
Is anyone willing to give me the file via msn, through the use of a sharing folder?
pozlepster, so you’ve tried using WinZip, WinRar, all that? If so, then I dunno. WinRar’s always worked fine for me. If the file ever actually downloads, I’ll tell you if I have any problems.
Nope, it just ain’t downloading, can anyone give me some help???
ok i put a new hard drive in just for this. I have Xp on the other hard dive.
what do i need to format it too????????? and when i boot the cd it tells me to restart what am i doing wrong people
Hey every1, i had a good download, about 200 – 300 kb/s all the way, thanks for the seeding.
now im gonna do a backup on my thinkpad t43, and start the install…
hope it works out well…

HEY EVERYONE! I HAVE GOT IT TO WORK ON 20 PC’S(BEEN INSTALLING FOR ALL OF MY BUDS) THE BIGGEST MISTAKES EVERYONE IS MAKING IS INSTALLING DRIVERS U DONT NEED.. IF U DO SO IT WILL NOT INSTALL FOR U AT ALL. SO KNOWING WHAT IS IN OR PC B4 U INSTALL WILL HELP YA!! BUT THIS THING WORKS GREAT!!
PS.
ANYONE HAVING INTERNET CONNECTION ISSUES WITH INTELL NIC CARD? THIS IS MY ONLY ISSUE..
I successfully installed Leopard on my Dell E310 (or 3100 series) last night. It took me about 6 tries to choose the right options, but it’s working and it’s awesome! I chose the Darwin EFI Bootloader and both the “Drivers” and “Displays” options, but did not check the “System” box. That’s what worked for me, can’t guarantee the same results for you! Happy Appleing!
Hi, I start up the disc, press F8, then type -v. But then a screen with a long long load of white text comes up and just sits there for a while. It starts with “npvhash=4095″ then it says crap like enabling INTEL features” etcetera, then the bottom paragraph says “MAC framework successfully initialized” etcetera, the cursor doesn’t blink, it just stays white, and this screen just stays up, nothing happens. Can anybody help me out here please?
Please? Can someone help me?
Hello,
I tried to install last evening, but this morning I had the same (grey apple) screen. I dont know what to do, I cannot see what is happening and where it stops working. Solutions?
I see allot of people complaining about the downloads, but my speed was between 800Kb/s and 1,7 Mb/s. So for the people who are downloading slow, check your ports. There are seeders enough! No complain here…

Hello,
first I am very surprised finding an application, that supports mac os x leopard on a PC…
But I also have some questions:
1) Which technical requirements (CPU, Graphics card, working memory,…) do I need to run this mac os x version?
2) Is this mac os x version the full one, or what is modified in according to the original one?
3) Is is possible to use windows vista AND that mac os x version at one computer? Or are you only able to use one operating system like vista OR mac os x
Best regards
Peter B.
PS: I will like it very much, if you send your answers not only to this forum but also to my e-mail address… Thanks a lot.
I downloaded the
iATKOS_v1.0ir2.iso (2.44 gb). Is it the right version of leopard to install it in just one step or I must download the 2.09 gb version?
Thanks
3) Is is possible to use windows vista AND that mac os x version at one computer? Or are you only able to use one operating system like vista OR mac os x

I am not sure if its same as mentioed .iso file …
I am also still downloading them …
please seed!!!!!!! there are only 2 seeders and i’m downloading at 0.1kbps!!!
I need help. I don’t know if I didn’t burn the disc correctly or not. When I try to boot it, it just doesn’t boot. I popped my xp disc in my cd-rom drive and it boots, but not in my dvd drive. I already fucked around in bios and couldn’t get anything to work. Also I used a dvd+r instead of a dvd-r will that make any difference? I have a dell dimension 4600.
I’ve installed iATKOS v1.0i more than 4 times and followed the exact steps on this and the ‘Dual Boot…’ but once the pc restarts after the installation is complete, it stops at the post screen and doesn’t load to Mac OS. tried the F8 -> -s -> fdisk -e … but no luck. FYI, I tried this on a fresh hard drive without any OS.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
can i use a real version of osx instead of the one that they suggested that can be downloaded from mininova??
I have installed it successfully.
Dell 520
Core 2 Duo @1.66Ghz
HDD 60GB
1.5GB RAM
First step: BIOS, disable Multicore
Install options: using SSE2/SSE3, no EFI (at drivers section).
Everything worked fine until reboot. After reboot, no system at all. I used a linux boot to see the boot flag on the partition. It was there. Last try: remove boot flag and added it again.
Worked like a charm!
First run, i had to reboot 3 times because it got stuck in the Apple register. After de 4th try, i got it.
Things that didn’t work:

Hi all…
I downloaded iATKOS v1.0ir2.iso.
I double clicked on the file so it opened in Nero and asked for burning to disk.
I placed a DVD+RW(and 2nd time a DVD+R).
I checked (finalize disk)
Verified written data.
Everything is fine.
but when i keep dvd in drive, and boot with DVD drive, it says “OS not found”.
can any1 tell me what went wrong????
has anyone done it with the legit copy of leopard??
hi!!! my pc is P3.. am i gonna be able to install it? am i getting you correct? no partitions necessary right? after burning it to a disk il boot on it right? so how am i gonna be able to install lepard there? would it be asking for the leopard this during the process? pls hit me back buddy..
I am seem to be having the same problem as ZEE. I have tried installing it multiple times and at the reboot it wont load into OS X. At the beginning of the installation of OS X right before the actual installation starts u can go to “Customize” theres patches drivers and a bootloader that u can check. #1 what drivers does it install and i didnt even mess with the patches, bad experiences, but what will the bootloader do? I am running a dell 1450 pentium 4 2.0GHz 1.5gb ram and a new drive. help please? thank you very much.
ps: i am a HUUUUUUUUUGE mac fan. this is temporary for me for im saving up to get a real computer a mac but it will be awhile. and i really want this to work for me, i have been without my beloved iPhone for about a week now and im almost walking into walls im just lost without it.
i have the same problem it wont load into OS X, but when I restart the PC and choose the Boot Device(DVD Room), where it says click enter to install or F8…. I dont press anything and after 10 second loads the OS, and it works fine, but i have to do that all the times , can anyone tell me how to fix this problem
I am downloading this now is it good will it run on a pentuim 4?
It’s the same to burn the ISO with a DVD-R or DVD+R ? thanks
Installation take me no problems, but when i have restarted and booted the OS doesn’t boot…i saw the motherboard image and then a white “_” but the OS doesn’t start…
Can i do something to let it works? thanks
p.s. i have P5K PRO mobo and Core2Duo E6600 cpu. I’ have installed it with all patches, fixes.
from where i can get maya for this leopard?
I downloaded it and burned on DVD
then installed successfully
ehhh.
i just bought a new harddrive for my dell, and it has nothing on it, completely blank, and all mac does is ‘still waiting for root device’. Do i have to get the computer to recognize the hard drive first?
i have a mac osx leopard original cd i got from apple its the real deal how can i do it with the original cd …do i copy the disc as a dvd and convert it to an iso image as well or what please help would much appreciate your assistance !!!
thank you alex b
You need thes version. It was hacked, so the original disk will not work.
Seriously people. stop telling us to stop the illegal downloading.its what we do. we dont tell you how to live your life! stop running ours!!
Great job on this artical!!!
I was wondering, its been a while since you made this article and I have a laptop with an AMD processor is it now possible to use leopard on it?
I just got a gateway laptop with:
AMD Turion��� 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-56
1.8 GHz | 512 KBX2 L2 cache
Chipset ATI RS690T
SDRAM: 2048 MB 667 MHz DDR2
video card; ATI Radeon�� Xpress 1270M
VIsta Home Premium 32-bit with anytime upgrade dvd
I my friend has the actual leopard and tiger operating system disks and i was wondering
1. if i could dual boot with the real cd
2. if my cpu is compatible with the system
3. if i can install final cut pro and run it without problems.
4. if it would be better(safer) to dual boot with tiger because more of the hacks for the drivers are out there
Thank you for your time
NOaH
I’m having a problem after the install, when when booting, all I see is the flashing Underscore _, nothing more or less
Is this a problem or do I have to wait for a while?
good work…………….
Hey Everyone,
Just thought I’d let you all know that there is now iATKOS v2.0i
It contains many improvements over iATKOS v1.0i
Best of luck with building your own hackintosh.

Hi, everyone,
I successfully install the iATKOS v1.0 r3 into my DELL vestro SLIM destop and can log into it.
The critical steps which I made some mistakes before fully understand are list here:
1. Erase the NTFS format of hard disk into OS format. I use the journaled even though I don’t understand what’s that mean
2. Choose the right hard drive where you would like to install the OS
3. THE most importantly, customize what you need in the installation page, just as described in http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=87901
The step 11. If you has the core 2 process, please choose the SSE2 or SSE3 kernel instead of nForce one.
Ultimately you can log on in your os normally. But I still has a question:
All my drivers are not installed….I don’t know how to install it….
Hi… will this work with my Hp Pavillion a6238x pc?

I tryed with iATKOS V2.0 and every time y try to install it it ask me to restart my PC (before the installation process) :-S
BOBODAZ: Since when have you been waiting for the underscore to vanish and get the installation menu?
LOL
(-_-) … Maybe I should try v1.0i, …downloading…
If it doesn’t work.. I’ll try another way… I’ll tell you if I’d got success
Hi,
Please Help!
When I booted with the Disk Mac install worked normally. However, when it asked me to choose where to install there were no drives present to install on.
Also, there were no drives present in the Disk Utility!??
I have an Acer Aspire 9810 with Dual HDD.
Any Ideas?
That is exactly what i want to know.. No hard drive shown in installation.. People who have sucessfuly installed this pls help..
how do i download the iso image if when i click the link the iso image is not there
Does this work with Pentium 4 and with intel core2duo?
(I want to test it on my old PC before I install it on my new laptop)
also, can you tripleboot windows, mac and linux? (dualbooting with windows is possible, but can I edit grub/lilo to boot mac too?)
hey guys, iam having assembled pc dual core processor and it’ll work in this pc. is there any other way to download this mac os.
this sounds very handy i cant wait to try this thanks
I have the same problem as Fury described.
Every time I want to install the iATKOS V2.0 DVD it asks me to restart my PC. I can’t go further. It’s a loop. Any possible causes or workaround.
I have one disk with 2 partitions. Windows 2000 and Suse 10.
I finally download iATKOS v1.0i and I’d successfully installed, however I only can get into the Leopard with my DVD in.. I wonder if there’s a way to boot up without it… in any case I would like to install v2.0 since I don’t have sound and internet with this current version
:-S
After following all the steps nothing appeared on the monitor and F8 key did not show the lists of partitions, I have an HP dv6500 with a nvidia 8400 GS and the image was iatkos v1 0i.zip. Can you help? there will be more a way to install the Leopard on the PC?
Man, this seriously hasn’t been patched for AMD users yet?!
What’s the deal? Is it even being worked on at all?
You guys do know that when you do this, it is illegal. Whomever made this iso, is violating the EULA from apple, and the EULA of Leopard says that you can’t install this on a machine that isn’t made by apple, so you guys do know, that apple may come out with an update that makes your awesome installation, not so awesome anymore, so, consider yourselves warned.
Thanks Mac Attack, god forbid if their systems weren’t such friggen rip offs id be in a Mac Store quicker then you could click your fat cat fingers. IM NOT PAYING 3 GRAND FOR A FREAKN PC PERIOD.
I think i speak on behalf of all of us poor nerds out there.
now is it possible to have a dual boot where i can choose between xp and leopard?
it works on xp ?
Thank you, you re the man, now i can finaly try out Logic7 on my PC, uiii
and Kevin no it wont work on XP, LOL,
Did you even read the title?

The installation does start, the bootloader loads, but after seeing te firt time the apple logo, it stops an doesn’t want to continue…
Anyone else problems whith it??
Successful install of iATKOS_2.0i
1. Download iATKOS_2.0i.iso and burn to dvd. I got mine on usenet.
2. Boot to dvd, install will autmatically start
3. For all of you that have no drives listed, click on the utilities menu item and go format (erase) the drive you want to use. When you close the utility, your drive should be visible.
I still can’t get my network going but everything is seems fine.
Hey “ME” where did you download the iATKOS 2.0!?

Hi,
I want to remove my hard disk from my pc, and put an other one in it and install OS X on it.
But if I then remove the hard disk with OS X and put my original hard disk in it with windows, will it still work perfectly?
When I use an OS I’ll remove the hard disk with the other OS.
I want to use this method because I only use 1 pc.
So is this method safe?

Thank’s.
I have got it to install on my laptop but it won’t recognize my laptops keyboard or the touchpad. I don’t have access to a USB keyboard and my laptop doesn’t have ports for a PS2 keyboard.
Is there any solution to this without having to use a USB keyboard?
I installed a dv6000 with a GEforce 8400 GS 128 MB of only that iATKOS v1.0i runs very slowly, someone knows why?
I installed on a compaq Presario V6000 Laptop. It worked great!
As for the RAM situation, Leopard recommends at least 512MB of ram minimum. I didn’t even think that it would install with 128MB.
Hello, I downloaded the iATKOS_v1.0ir2 iso, burned it at 2.4x and cant seem to get it to boot on my tower.
The darwin screen comes up, says push f8 for options of any key to continue. When i do either one it starts the boot screen with the apple logo and then a minute or so, a white box in the middle shows up with a no”something”similar to what would be a no smoking sign just in black and white.
Any thoughts?

So I’m pretty certian this will work, just downloading right now although it’s pretty slow, what program is reccomended to burn the image and also home will I dual boot from start up?
Thank you
I meant how not home… silly typo
I’m willing to try this, but its taking FOREVER to download iAtkos. Wouldn’t you be able to just borrow the leopard disc from a friend and pop it is?
Anything I can do for a Pentium 4?
I have read through all of the comments on this page, why i do not know and have realized that there is one simple answer to most of the questions here. That answer is, you are not intelligent or computer savvy enough to do this. There is nothing but bitching and moaning about seeders or people stuck on extremely simple issues. I will do my best to sum up what is needed for some reason.
1: Download compressed file
2: Decompress file
3: Burn file to blank dvd
4: (This is where it may get complicated) If you are installing to the entire hard drive erasing the disk completely there should be no issues. If there are issues, your computer likely isn’t compatible. Give up and try on a different hardware set. If you have re-sized your existing hard drive and are trying to install to the free un-partitioned space then make sure you know something about your master boot record, marking a partition as the active boot partition and editing the required boot menu’s. If not, give up. All you will end up doing is wasting time.
5: Assuming your hard drive is all set, you know what your doing and your hardware is fully compatible the only thing left to do is boot from the dvd and follow the on screen instructions. Reboot. Cross your fingers that it works. If not, format and try the older x86 versions of Tiger.
I had a simple question. I am currently running Vista Ultimate on my Dell XPS M1530 and was wondering if I install this on another partition and used “grub” boot-loader; could I still boot into Windows Vista? This also brought up the question that if not, could I use bootcamp to install vista onto? Any help would be appreciated. I can be contacted through keller36@live.com or keller36@yahoo.com. Thanks.
Hey, I patched the image file on a disc but when I open it up, it has like 6 different files on the disc. Does anybody know what I can do, besides buying another $1000 computer.
It just reads some files called
BOOT
BOOT Security Catalog
BOOTEFI
BOOTHELP
BOOT0
CDBOOT
BOOT1H
CHAIN0
BOOT1U
It list’s those but it does not install Mac. Any help?
I get past all the options, starts installing, and i get this…
The installer could not validate the contents of the ’10.5.1.Intel’ package.
I DID skip the DVD validation process because it kept failing.
Anyone have any advice? Please, ive been trying this for 5 days now…
o my GAD i did it finly thanks but it was really hard and aslo you need little bit info about pc
Hmm still downloading i nearly stopped cause there’s lots of people saying this doesn’t work but finall i see a few that do work
Gabriel: you’re not just opening the disc in windows are you?
I have Windows Vista. I have the Intel Pentium Dual-Core, I don’t really know which does not work. I used Toshiba Disc Creator to burn the iso image. I put it inside my computer and restarted. It worked normally. I went to My Computer, then selected CD Drive and it just read those files. I read the boothelp and it is no help!
I dont even understand it!
Quote:
“The boot: prompt waits for you to type advanced startup options.
If you don’t type anything, the computer continues starting up normally. It
uses the kernel and configuration files on the startup device, which it also
uses as the root device. Advanced startup options use the following syntax:
[device] [arguments]
Example arguments include
device: rd= (e.g. rd=disk0s2)
rd=* (e.g. rd=*/PCI0@0/CHN0@0/@0:1)
kernel: kernel name (e.g. “mach_kernel” – must be in “/” )
flags: -v (verbose is gay) -s (single user mode),
-x (safe mode) -F (ignore boot configuration file)
“Graphics Mode”=”WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH” (e.g. “1024x768x32″)
For VESA 3.0 graphics, you may append a refresh rate
after an “@” character (e.g. “1280x1024x32@75″)
kernel flags (e.g. debug=0×144)
io=0xffffffff (defined in IOKit/IOKitDebug.h)
Example: mach_kernel rd=disk0s1 -v “Graphics Mode”=”4096x4096x32@85″
If the computer won’t start up properly, you may be able to start it up using
safe mode. Type -x to start up in safe mode, which ignores all cached
driver files.
Special booter commands:
?memory Displays information about the computer’s memory.
?video Displays VESA video modes supported by the computer’s BIOS.
Additional useful command-line options:
config= Use an alternate Boot.plist file.
platform=ACPI|X86PC Use either ACPI or non-ACPI platform support.
Options useful in the com.apple.Boot.plist file:
“Boot Graphics”=Yes|No Use graphics mode or text mode when starting.
“Quiet Boot”=Yes|No Use quiet boot mode (no messages or prompt).
Timeout=8 Number of seconds to pause at the boot: prompt.
”
Know the problem?
bilbo388
well, yeah. How do you boot it on?
I got the installer to boot up but when I tried installing it, It would get so far and stop then. this message then came up saying restart the computer?? And If i do restart it nothing happens.
anyone else had this problem?
After I got it installed, everything was working well, except for the internet connection,,, I don’t understand why?? Do I have to install any additional drivers? Or what?? Cuz I’m not sure if the driver will work on a Mac OS PLZ HELP TT^TT
@mintrzzie:
if your sound and video drivers work, then you might need to find a network driver. also there are mac diagnostic utilities available to test/repair an internet connection
can we get any more seeders? it took me five days!!
hey im not quite sure if i want to try this. i have xp and i was wondering if its easier if i should download vista. and if so where can i download windows vista.
Thanxz
Do I burn the iso image exactly as is (i.e. it is actually a winrar file archive with an iso extension. Or do I extract the files out of winrar and burn them?
People, I got this working. It said press any key to install Mac OS X and I did and now it is on the logo screen. I feel asleep because it was tasking a while to load and woke up 10 hours later and it still is loading! HELP! ANYONE?
DERRICK: Well, just get the 2.44 gig one but for the zip one you need in order to do that is to move that to your download’s!
STILL ANYONE GOING TO ANSWER MY QUESTION! IF SOMEBODY JUST ASK’S ANOTHER QUESTION OVER MY QUESTION AND LET’S MY QUESTION BE UNANSWERED, I WILL OVER QUESTION THEM UNTILL I GET MT ANSWER!
DERRICKt wont detect it unless you move the image out of the zip file and into another file other than a zip!
Also an in on my question?

@Anyone having trouble installing OS X on PC!!!
I’ve been trying to do this for a couple days now…
I’ve installed, uninstalled, re-installed etc… at least 15 times.
After doing some searching around, I came across a bit of information I found interesting. See.. I too followed MULTIPLE guides like the one above. I could install iATKOS, but it would only boot to a blinking cursor. I never found a way around that other than using the dvd to boot from. Even with the dual boot with XP/Vista, it never worked.
In comes Kalyway’s Format CD. I’m not sure if I should list the full name on here, but if you do a search, I’m sure you’ll find the name and torrent in NO time. I will warn you though. *EXPECT TO WAIT UP TO 2 DAYS FOR THIS THING TO DOWNLOAD!!!*
Burn it to disc and run the installation just like you were installing iATKOS. This CD makes your HD bootable. For some reason, the built in Darwin bootloader doesn’t seem to work for all systems. I’m running a cheap Compaq Presario C727US, but Leopard runs flawlessly on it.
Note: If you can’t install the CD directly to the drive for some reason, buy an external hd case and install from another computer to the hd via usb or firewire. I’ve tried this method on different computers.
So far: Dells and Compaqs seem to work fine with these 2 installs. If anyone has any questions, email me directly: kjennings@disrepro.com
PLEASE do NOT email me asking how to mount images, or any other novice questions like this. If you have to ask thing like this, then you are truely NOT worthy of what Mac OS X Leopard has to offer.
I leave now with this… If you like Leopard, then BUY A COPY and have it patched!!!
Oh, and you all need to be nice to one another!
Let’s help! That means you Gabriel… you too Anthony! lol.
i have got intel 4 3ghz processor with intel 82945g express chipset motherboard can you recomend me which is the best video card can i put
@ DEVIKIRANVAMIN
If you use the iATKOS dvd, simply click on CUSTOMIZE when you see it. Under DRIVERS, find INTEL under VIDEO. This will solve your problem. Though, I’ve also been told that you really don’t need to install anything custom if you follow my steps above. iATKOS supports many popular brands…
My install stops at darwin/86
it reboots.
if i type “-v”
it shows a few lines, then re boots.
my specs are:
Windows XP SP2
AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor 4600+, MMX, 3dNow (2CPUs)
Memory: 1534 MB
Graphics: Radeon X1600

curlingandsoccer_rox@hotmail.com
@ Gordon
I don’t believe AMD processors are supported highly by the iATKOS patch. I think your best luck would be to follow the procedure I mentioned above, but switch iATKOS with the Kalyway OS dvd. I’m sure you can find this, and I believe it supports AMD processors more. As of now, iATKOS is more for Intel-based processors.
Hi mate!
Are you sure that there is no way to instal mac os over AMD processors?
If don’t… When do you expect they will run on AMD?
Please answer to nyogoon@hotmail.com mate.
Thank you for reading and responding,

Has anyone solved the blinking cursor error..ive tried NUMEROUS solutions posted on other pages… im guessing it has something to do with the partition..it needing to be MBR and all the other stuff…anyone REALLY fix this problem
i had installed it and everything worked like a dream, except the network but i installed a PCI card with an ethernet port and that worked fine
boohoo 
:(:( does an official version of leopard work on a “pc”?
however, i needed an update to install protools and when i tried to update the necessary, leopard wouldn’t boot any more
processor : Intel Q6600 2.4GHz
motherboard : Asus P5K-E (if that info is useful :p)
hey i just bought a firewire card to put in my pc so that when i install osx on it i can edit digital video so my question is should i install the card with windows or should i wait and install it once i have leopard running
I got the following error messege while booting into the cd.
ERROR: FireWire unable to determine security – mode; defaulting to Full – Secure
Still waiting for root device
Still waiting for root device
and on and on
What can i do to fix this
@ Tyler – Read my post that I made on the 4th. I ran into that annoying issue MANY times when installing OS X.
@ DAMASTA – Thanks for that link! I too have an AMD comp but was never able to find an iATKOS edition. Kalyway’s works fine for me though… but I prefer iATKOS.
@ C-MAN – Honeslty I don’t think it’s going to matter. Though, I haven’t tried that out nor heard a question like that. Let us know what happens! I’m sure it won’t be anything you can’t correct.
Take care guys. Happy hacking!
Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know that I have the Leopard OSX up and running. The ONLY problem I had was with the Foxxconn Motherboard I bought.. it’s a G31AX-K. It WOULD NOT recognize the onboard LAN at all. I had to install an old PCI 3COM card, but it’s UP AND GOING!!!! SAFARI BABY! Good job guys.
Thanks,
db
for HEAD. go into the bios and reset all settings to default. then configure SATA as IDE. once installed change it to AHCI or it probably won’t boot. and get iAtkos V2 if you don’t already have it…
I installed the v1.0ir2
record . iso in slow speed x1
create with disk management a partition fat 32
reboot by dvd the leopard go disk utility erase mac journaled
customize and select your needed patches
reboot and voi la
funtastic isn t it
)
Whats the difference between v2.0 and v1.0i?
for me, version 2 was easier to install… improvements, i suppose, otherwise they would’ve stuck with V1…
hey, i downloaded it and i have a dvd-r to burn it to but i cant find a program that will burn it. i tried alot of things and none of them will work. can anyone help me?
@ bill14231393: normally the download is an ISO file – you need Nero or something. emule or bit torrent might help you there… :s
ok thanks @ Geoff
ya i was just wondering if it was worth downloading v2.0i if I had already downloaded v1.0i, but I went ahead and got v2.0i.
thanks for the help,
C-Man
I’m not getting any hard drive partition listed on the Disk utility. I’m trying to install iATKOS v.2.0i.
Do you know something related with the message ‘Still waiting for root device’………..? nForce SATA?….
If anyone needs help go here!
http://www.osx86project.org/
That is one f the biggest websites out there for this project. It has a wiki, a forums, and even IRC chats with tons of people waiting to help all of you out. Believe me. You will get help there WAY faster than here, and most likely more, and better information. Check it out. This exact topic is what got me to build my first hackintosh, and less than a month after, I bought my first mac, which I am using to type this. Thanks all for this topic and those at the osx86 website!
PS.
http://www.uphuck.com/ is one of the other great and up to date places to go. Have fun, and screw windows!
ok before i do this should i clear my hard drive or delete anything that wont run on os x?…
@ C-Man – don’t clear your drive. you can keep windows on a partition on the drive. when the installation program begins, select Tools and Disk Utility. then select the drive you want to put Mac on and select partition. it will take the new partition from unused space. then format the partition as Journaled Extended. if you need more details contact me on msn at geoffbing@gmail.com, or send an email

Hi, im currently experiencing the problem of leopard not able to detect my Sata hard drive. I also have another drive which is IDE and it seems to be fine even under NTFS format.
How to let Leopard detect SATA on installation? Please help.
Hi,
I’ve just succesfully installed Leopard on my Acer Aspire 7720G notebook (Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd.iso).
I’ve 2 hds, and I’ve installed OSX on the first partition of the 2nd hd (bootable). Vista is installed on the first hd, and I’ve used ‘EasyBCD 1.7.2′ to create a multiboot system.
My video adapter (Ati Radeon HD2600) works at 1024*768 (not native 1440*900).
Works fine, BUT Osx doesn’t recognise both the network card (broadcom netlink gigabit) and wifi integrated card (intel 4965 agn).
I’ve tried with an external usb wifi adapter (Belkin G+ Mimo with osx 10.4 driver) without any result.
Any suggestion?
hi everyone
can I do multi-boot (several OS’s on hard drive)
i have windows xp and want ubuntu and mac. can i have this triple boot option or can i just have dual boot?
anyone? triple-boot?
i’m fairly sure you can have triple-boot… you might a driver nightmare but it seems possible in theory. and you might need some kind of boot manager, like “acronis os selector” or something along those lines… though you can have a small boot manager on a floppy, if you have a drive.
@Max Power: you could install VMWare Fusion on Mac and have virtual PC and Linux – you’ll need the installation CD and product keys of Windows XP.
VMware Fusion will not run on a Hackintosh. Sorry. I have heard little to no success because it caused kernel panics.
i’m running VM Ware Fusion on my Hackintosh as we speak so, as they say, the proof is in the pudding… “sorry”, as you say.
Ok. Sorry. My bad. I and many others have found little success unless running a vanilla kernel, and that is sometimes quite hard to do. Then again, I sold my Hackintosh to buy this Macbook Pro. lol. Mac rocks.
You can use EasyBCD 1.7.2 to have a multiboot system. I have 4 system on my notebook:
1) Vista on the 1st partition on 1st HD
2) Mac Osx on 1st partition on 2nd HD
3) Ubuntu on 3rd partition of 2nd HD
4) Fedora on 4th partition of 2nd HD
Swap partition for both Ubuntu and Fedora on partition #5 of 1st HD.
Yoy must install GRUB (for Ubuntu etc) NOT in MBR, but in the same partition for every Linux installation.
With EasyBCD is very simple.
hey @ Paolo Rossi I looked at the Easy BCD and there a download for i Reboot and I was wondering if you knew anything about it, and if you do am I supposed to do anything special on my hd or do I just run the program with leopard on one partition and xp on another?
i got a intel centrino prosessor on mine 1.80GHZ with 3 GB ram 100 gb hard drive will it work on mac and what is this wifi problem can i solv it or some thing plez tell me im very intorested

sory about my spelling errors I’m trying to write this from my iphone and im not use to typing with it yet
i have iatkos v2 and i have set all bios setting to what another site said and every time i goto install i get a gray box that says please restart your computer any idea of what to do?
Mark, try resetting all BIOS settings to default.
ok every time i try to boot from cd/dvd while in BIOS my computer just boots straight into windows like there is no dvd in the drive i dont know if i did something wrong while burning the dvd or if theres a different problem. does anyone know what I could do to fix this problem?
Why dont u try setting ur bios settings to boot of the disk first instead of the hard disk?
I think i figured out my problem…im gonna need 2 buy a core 2 duo processor because iatkos wont run on a pentium 4 processor…will it?
I would recommend every1 2 dwnld the file which is around 2.44 Gig don’t dwnld the zip file coz wen sum file is compressed it is likely 2 get corrupted…
Thank You

I see this post u’ve made on Dec 2007. Now iATKOS R4 is available. is that working/safe? any idea? Please suggest.
This is WAYYYY tougher that it looks.
I have tried to install on 5-different Intel “Core” platforms and all it does is reboot the system repeatedly.
Nice try! Keep trying!
nvm i saw bigboys post from way back in the forum with that youtube video…ok if that guy can run leopard on a p4 im gonna have to keep trying!
does anyone know if iatkos v2.0i works with a p4 or is it only v1.0i????????
ive been trying this for a week now. I get all the way through the install and asks for the reboot. after i click restart it will not boot to the OS that it just installed PLEASE HELP. I WANT IT SOOOO BAD. thank you
Got it working on my Dual Core Laptop, but can’t find drivers.
I used V2.0i, one thing I came across that varied from instructions
is that you need to select Custom after the agreement page and check the box that says bootloader. The first time I ran the install it didn’t load because I followed the instructions for v1.0i given on this page. Good luck to everyone let me know if you know how to install drivers.
@ Steve
Your system isn’t going to boot into Leopard without the dvd in place. I sent you an email explaining that you need to download Kalyway’s Format and Make Bootable HD for Leopard. You need this download. Once you install it, THEN install leopard and your system will work fine. If you need this file, just email me back and I can post it to an ftp site for you.

i have already set a partition on my hard drive but when i try to install iatkos and i get to the disk utility i don’t see none off my hard drive, i really dont know what to do, please helppp meee!!
I’m thinking about getting an hp 2500z tablet, and want to be able to run os x on it as i am a long time mac user and do not want to give it up, but i really want to switch to one of these tablets. This tablet does use AMD dual core processors, so I take it that this method will not work on it. Does anyone have any suggestions about successfully installing os x on one of these machines, or have any advice on another tablet that would work and perform well?
thank you in advance for any pertinent responses
Hi, i have encountered a problem. When i boot in to -v everything is fine until it hangs saying “still waiting for root device“.

Please help ME!
please email you answer
Thanks
I got Leopard to run on my PC with a Pentium 4 & 0.75 GB of RAM (and an Intel IGP, doesn’t work well, can’t get Quartz Extreme and Core Image to work).
1st of all, there are many Leopard releases now, Uphuck & Eskurza’s, Kalyway’s. Also there are 10.5.0 DVDs, 10.5.1 DVDs, 10.5.2 DVDs, and more… Try to get the right one.
Secondly, in the article there is an “Select the Appropriate Packages” in Step 1. Remember, it’s not like you just pop the DVD in, press Next, next & install, then grab a cup of tea. You have to select Customize before installing (you’ll see it in the process), and you might wanna research a little bit before doing this.
For example: an Intel processor older then the Core family must not use PC-EFI, which mean you must select Customize and remove the PC-EFI stuff. A Pentium 4 processor with no support for SSE3 instructions (read more about SSE3 in Wikipedia) must use a kernel that was re-written for SSE2 processors. An AMD processor has to have special patches applied. A network card needs special drivers (in Mac we call drivers “Kernel Extensions”). A graphic card needs special kernel extensions as well (Natit/Titan for GeForce & Radeon, NVInject for GeForce…). You have to double check everything before clicking “Install”.
Thirdly, when Google-ing, you must know that there are things in Windows that exists in Macs, just not named the same (and work in different ways). Drivers are “Kernel Extensions” as mentioned above, the kernel might not sound familiar to you, but Windows also have a kernel (trust me), and that kernel is the core of everything, it boots up your computer and run programs. Any beautiful interfaces you see is controlled by the kernel. Do more & more research, and you’ll figure out why your Hackintosh is not working.
Good luck!
Hi guys i’m curently downloading kalway verision i hope it works for me and fixes the ” Still Waiting For Root Device”
Hey, can people still seed please? unfortunately I downloaded the wrong version by mistake
and it’s now running very slowly.
@ L$ could you please be a little more specific about what the PC-EFI is, and what exactly im supposed to removed? Also how am i supposed to get the kernel written for SSE2 processors?
EVERYONE
I’m not sure if anyone read the post that i made on the 4th. I do have copies of Kalyway’s “Format and Make Bootable HD for Leopard” as well as BrazilMac’s 9a581 pre/post patches. I’ve been reading a lot of the posts on here. It seems like a lot of you are making this install a lot harder than it is. Though I’m not professing to know ALL of the answers to your issues, I do offer a simple alternative to this guide.
If I’ve gained your attention by now, good. Read on:
You need to install that Kalyway Format cd. You can find the file online with torrents, or email me. I have it placed on an ftp site where people can download from. The file is about 200mb compressed from 560 I believe. Burn the image once you have it and run this install FIRST. Let me say that again… RUN THIS INSTALL BEFORE YOU TRY TO INSTALL MAC OS X LEOPARD.
This application does exactly what it says. It takes your hd and formats it using correct parameters for booting into a hackintosh leopard hd. Don’t be alarmed if you see that the file you’re installing is 0kb. Just click on it and install. DONT ASK QUESTIONS, JUST DO IT!
Once you’ve completed this install, you’re ready to install leopard.
Now, I will say this. If you really want os x on your computer, first download a copy from online. We all know where to get it. Once you install with the appropriate customizations, you will be able to boot into leopard. I’ve tried this method on several types of pcs. AMD computers… ehh….. you will have to do a little more to get yours to work right… sorry.
Once you have installed and are able to load into mac, go to the store and buy a legitimate copy of osx. This is where brazilmac will come into place.
Create an image file of the mac disc you just bought and use the brazilmac patch on it. Make sure to run both patches.
From here, you will have to reinstall the Kalyway format cd, and then install your new copy of osx, which will have more applications and will be easier to update. OR… you could just stick with iatkos uphuck or kalyway. I’ve tried both ways on Dell, Compaq/HP, eMachine and Gateway with no issue. The only computer that provided an interesting challange when patching was the amd computer.
Hope this helps.
Okay, I did everything as instructed. Leopard is on my computer and works (mostly). Here’s what is going wrong, and perhaps someone can help me.
1. Screen savers will not come on.
2. After 15-20 minutes or so of not moving he mouse, it disappears and will not reappear until I reboot the computer. This is definately an issue for me as I like to leave things running while I cook.
3. I can not boot up the computer without having the iAtkos disc in my disc drive. If I try, I get the black screen wih a white underscore ( _ ) blinking cursor. No amount of key pressing gets this to dissappear, thus I have to put disc back in and reboot again.
4. When I try to reinstall windows…I can use every button on my keyboard to go through the install except F8 to accept the EULA (pretty sure this is from OSX install, but not positive)
I just read Keiths post, should I wipe my hard drive and start over with the Kalyway Format cd first? (I really dont want to, but if I have to I will)
I have an AMDx2 processor. Will it even work or will it just be less efficient?
@CHII
You’re pretty much going to have to. The install CD needs to be run on a freshly wiped hd.
The proper install steps are:
1. Format the hd using the disc and make sure the drive is set properly.
2. Restart your computer with the cd in.
3. Go through the setup again and this time, install the software on the cd.
4. Restart your computer with patched osx dvd in.
5. Run install and make sure to check all applicable options under customize.
That’s basically it.
If you find that the install is “quitting” or restarting before it actually finishes and you see that “INSTALL SUCCESSFUL” screen… then you might want to try installing it on the hd via a usb enclosure on another computer.
For example, I had no problem installing directly to my compaq computer (dual-core), but when installing on Dell p4 or HP, I had to install using the compaq computer and the usb enclosure.
What software does this leopard version come with?? does iLife or iWork come standard with leopard??
@C-MAN
Just Google the phrase “PC-EFI” and you’ll find many infos.
You also need to read about EFI in Wikipedia. Basically EFI is a newer version of the outdated BIOS (“Basic”, duh
). Read more about it before doing anything 
You might also want to do some research about Intel’s modern chips, chipsets, graphics card (this one is very important, OS X demands a lot from graphics cards)… The OSX86 Project’s Wiki is a good place to start (http://wiki.osx86project.org/). Read about the Hardware Compatibility Lists.
I did start out as a total noob, but do many researches and you’ll be a pro in no time!

Hi everyone,
Thank you for the opportunity of running Mac OS X on PC.
I’ve use iAtkos 4i dual boot with Vista.
Works great.
I have a Dell Dimension520, everything works except the integrated Nic.
I went to Office Depot an bought D-link DFE-530TX – $4.99 on sale and works perfect. OS X recognizes it and runs great
Thank you again to Apple and all crew building iATKOS.
@DAUTHUS, don’t get a dell tablet if you’re a mac fan, get a modbook, it is an Apple approved modified macbook.
More details: http://www.axiotron.com/index.php?id=modbook
You guys have really improved you development, i’ve been keeping a close eye!
Thank you very much!!!
I have a perfect spec PC, but having too many prolems with vista..
10.5 leopard is the way! i’ll pass the good news!
Thanks! from Australia
Response to Keith’s post on 7/27/08-
I don’t understand a few things from your post. Once I install iatkos, your recommendation is to create an image of a legit copy of leopard and then to patch the image. Once the image is patched, you recommend I burn a new DVD with the patched image, reformat with Kalyway and then install the patched image. Is the purpose of the first install just to make sure that my pc hardware can boot leopard? The reason I ask is because I have two identical IBM dual-core 3 ghz pc’s. It would save me some time if I don’t have to go through every step twice.
Thanks.
_HMG
@haywood
The reason that you must install with iatkos before creating the patched dvd is because you can only patch the dvd on leopard. To answer the question I think you’re trying to ask, no you don’t need to install iatkos on both pcs, only on the first one, make the patched dvd, then use that dvd for both pcs.
@ Haywood
C-Man basically got what I was saying. The iAtkos install… sure… you can use that to make sure that it works. But I was referring to what you SHOULD do after you get it to work. That being, you need to obtain a legal copy and patch it yourself. The Kalyway Format CD has legal issues… as does this whole operation. However, if you only use the Kalyway and BrazilMac and your own copy of OSX, I think you’ll be in far less trouble. BrazilMac, I believe only violates the Millennium Copyright Act. Not too sure on that though.
With iatkos installed, you should make an image of the files on the disc and use the patch so you can install your own true copy of osx on your pc. The only other way to make this truely legal without the use of iAtkos at all would be to download MacDrive 7 on a Windows computer so you can read the files on the mac osx dvd. That way, you can make the image using PowerISO/UltraISO or whatever. If you want to go that route, there are a number of sites on the web that explain how to go about that.
@ Everyone!!!
ATTENTION:
I recently came across some information about EFI-X. This may be something worth checking out. I read on the webpage, that this is basically a USB device that you connect to your computer and boot from it. It contains a bootloader which allows you to select your dvd drive and run osx directly from the retail cd. I’m not sure exactly how it works out. It DOES cost money. I’m in the works now with the station in Peru to try and get one sent to me for testing. As of now, the US is still in negotiations for this product to be sold here. There are a select number of countries that have this product.
Check it out!
Is there any way to delete Mac OS X Leopard in case u dont like it or u just dont want it anymore?
Reply to Keith’s post on 8/4…
After some trial and error, I got the OS installed and booted. No ethernet (no surprise) but am reinstalling with ethernet driver for Broadcom 44xx. My card is the integrated Broadcom 57xx. I’ll let you know if I can get the card to work with these drivers.
Is the Broadcom GigE 57xx nic supported? I didn’t see the name on the comp list, but I thought maybe there was another one out there similar enough to work. Might need to just buy one of the supported NIC’s,
Here’s my system build, for future reference:
-Levovo A55
-3 Ghz core, 1 gig RAM
-Intel 3100 video
-SATA 250 gig drive
-Broadcom ethernet chipset

Hey im gonna try install leaopard on my Laptop its an intel pentium 4 HT 3ghz, its a Windows Xp machine with 128 mb graphics card.
Which version of iAtkos should be downloading?
thanks
SKb
@ Haywood.
That’s great that you got the installation to work right. It took some time for me to do it.
I believe that the nic is supported. I have it in my Compaq Presario and my Dell Inspiron. Though what I am finding out as I go along… it seems like osx prefers laptops over desktops. Maybe this is the reason so many desktop users are having issues with the installation and everything. But hell… I’d go ahead and just check every ethernet customization thing there is just to be sure.
Let us know what happens!
***As we all learn and explore how to accomplish this task, we should help one another. Notice, even though I have figured everything out for me, I’m still helping those in need. I suggest that we ALL do the same!***
It’s necesary to format the partition as hfs+? it could be done on a hp pavilion zd2000?thx
@KEITH
Hey is there any way that you know of to get that EFI-X in the US?
@KEITH
Hey is there any way that you know of to get that EFI-X in the US?!?!?!
Reply to Keith’s post 8/5
I found a link to drivers for the Broadcom 57xx ethernet NIC chipset on x86 project website. Next step is to mount my Leopard install DVD and patch it with the brazilmac patch. Still learning syntax, so I could use some help with the proper way to run the two brazilmac patches. When you get a moment, can you send me the steps for patching the dvd? (ie required image format, where the image needs to be for the patch to find it to do it’s thing, command syntax for executing the shell scripts, etc.)
Thanks in advance. Btw- in order to get osx to boot on my Lenovo, I had to install the standard kernel with only the iatkos and standard kernel selected. I got tired of running through the install, so I didn’t try the speedstep support, but I found I had to select to remove both power cpu options and to install with no ethernet drivers. Haven’t installed the 57xx drivers yet, although I have them in hand. The instructions for installing them are cumbersome, but I’m hopeful…
@C-MAN
EFI-X isn’t sold here in the US yet. We’re still in negotiations for retail here. If you go to the website (just google it) and take a look at the countries that supply it, you’ll see that there aren’t that many. I’m in contact with the store in Peru to try and see if they can send me one. I’ll keep you posted though. I’m SUPER excited about this. I’m trying to think… I came across this from a website that had video of it in action. It looks awesome and easy to use. Can’t think of the site yet. When I do, I’ll let you know so you can see for yourself.
@HAYWOOD
Eh… I’m not too sure I can remember how to patch the install exactly. It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve done it. I had to basically cut and paste from different guides to come up with a final solution. I will say this: You will be working in Terminal a LOT for this. Something about SUDO -S and DITTOING… ugh… I shudder thinking about it.
@ JC
Yes. For mac osx to run on the disc, you will need to format it to the correct partition type.
@KEITH
Ya I saw video of someone using it when I was wondering around the google results for it, and ya the bootloader looks uber simple and really nice. Also if you do get one sent to you let me know I’d like to try to do the same.
Question? I have an actual copy of leopard, can i use this or do I need to mount my own on the iso?
Hey also does anyone have a legit copy of leopard that i could maybe borrow or you could like create an image of it and you could send it to me.
email: elemental12@embarqmail.com
Hello guys. I have Atkos 1.0 installed and every thing starts up normal until I get an error message saying something along the lines of “localhost: WindowServer [63] …….error 0xe2″. That isn’t the whole error but its most of it. Also it’s not an “ERROR”, it just freezes up and says you need a restart under non-diagnostic mode. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated! Hope to hear back soon.
hi i installed the software and im currently using it right now its works great but i have two small problems the sound and the video and gammeess aarreee sloww. i have a dell e1505 thnx
Hello ,
I would like to use this only for making music. So i just want to use Logic pro 8 with it and i dont need others features like Internet.
So do i really need to buy a legal OSX or can i use the copy without issue ? And second things, i see some people says that there is a problem with sound..To use it with Logic Pro 8 i absolutely need sound ! So does it work with a pro soundcard ?
Thanks for reply
Hi; i just finished the installation of DVD leopard everything goes well but…. there’s always a but…
, Intel pro Wireless 3945, does ring any bells …. i can’t make it work, is there a solution for this problem yet?? thx
(Reply to Keith’s post August 6th)
I was able to get my Broadcom 57xx Ethernet card to run with the drivers on the x86 project page, but success on boot is unpredictable. I have not been able to get my Lenovo to reliably boot with iATKOS v1. Sometimes it boots successfully, sometimes it won’t and not always with the same error. V1 has been out for a while. I’d like to snag the latest version of iATKOS and try that, and I think version 2 is it. Can you tell me what the latest version is of iATKOS (iso image name)? Thanks!
@HAYWOOD
iAtkos is funny. When I was dealing with it, you had to choose certain things to get it to load properly. I just went the Kalyway Format CD way to make things simple. Have you tried this disc yet? If not, then I highly recommend it.
I’ve been using my copy of osx for a little while now, so I’m not sure what the latest of anything is at the moment, but if you’re looking for a more solid bootable system, check out Kalyways version. You should be able to at least download 10.5.2 and work with that. I do believe I have that image somewhere if you’d like for me to post it on FTP. This version boots and doesn’t have too many problems other than the fact that it’s a TAD bit slower than iatkos (You notice it, but it’s not really a problem in daily usage).
Also, check out EFI-X. That seems to be promising….
@KEITH
Any news about the release of EFI-X here in the States?
(reply to Keith’s post on 8/12)
I used Kalway’s Format CD to prep the disk, which worked with no problem. I think I’ll try Kalway’s x86 build next in place of iATKOS. I snagged a copy of Kalway’s x86 build a while ago, but I’d like to snag a stable rev. Which rev do you recommend?
(follow up post)
I should have read your entire reply. I think 10.5.2 is the version I have, so I’ll try that. Thanks- I’ll let you know how it goes…
@C-Man
Nope.. Sorry. Though the Peru store just got a shipment and I’m about to order mine!!!!! I’ll let you know how it pans out when I get it. I’ll prolly post a video on youtube or something that shows how it works out.
@KEITH
Contact info or website for the Peru Store?
Just check out EFI-X.com and click on WHERE TO BUY. YOu’ll see a complete list of countries that: have the product, are still in negotiations, etc. They will be color coded. Though you might wanna check out another location other than Peru. I got an immediate response when I sent the first email… but haven’t heard back since.
can i install this using virtual pc?
Seed please!!!!
I am stack at 65%
I am already seeding and will continue for at least a week when I finish downloading.
Waiting for AMD compatibility…

i cant find the kalyway format cd. can someone post it. i havent seen anything near 200mb. i use a mac and i recently bought a dell core2 vostro for the kids. I wanna intall leopard on it. once i get kalyway format cd, can i make my own patched leopard with brazilmac and install it.
Edit: I found kalyway format cd. Now i just need to patch my leopard install disk.
ok so i just bought a cpu that meets all the requirements to upload leopard. the thing is, i have the leopard software at home, still in it’s original package. can i just pop in that disc and install it? i’ve never had a PC before i just bought one because i needed a laptop to take to europe and didn’t wanna spend the big bucks to buy a real one (i have a desktop at home). anyways, i don’t wanna d/l the program since i own it already… i just need to know what to do. do i need to un-install vista first? or do i just pop in the disc or what? thanks for your help in advance
I installed it and everything worked fine. I then had to install updates, and now it won’t reboot. Any help?
i have this processor
Intel�� Core���2 Duo Mobile Processor T5550
it would work?
sssso do i need to uninstall windows first and then insert the leopard disc…or do i just pop it right in?
Hey i have a question is there any possibility that i will be able to run windows games such as half life 2 and all hl2 based games counter strike, counter strike source and such because this is the only reason why i didnt buy mac yet or installed it if it was possible would you teach us how to make them run on mac? thank you.
many games doesnt work on mac
Brace yourself for a stupid question, but I’m thinking of doing this, and I don’t want to mess up my computer.
Does this hack work for those of us already using a Mac Os X 10.4 Tiger?? Because I want to upgrade to Leopard, but all this talk of PCs has gotten me confused.
So would it work on a Mac?
Thanks!
Hey, Can someone help me in this problem? I installed Leopard on my pC , but de sound dont’n works, and neither the graphics, only 1024×768.How can i solve this problem.Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee help
@Motov3 and all the others seeking for help: This is not the place! Use Google! If you can’t (or are too lazy to) use Google, then don’t bother do this whole Mac on PC thing and save your money for a real MacBook or iMac. Those are made by Apple, and I’m sure you’ll never have “sound problems” or “stuck at 1024×768 problems” anymore.
forum.insanelymac.com might be a good start.
I thought id get some patch maybe for a LEGAL copy of osx instead i get the whole os for free….hey im not downloading that….is there any admins here that can ban this dude? DO NOT DOWNLOAD PEOPLE, THIS IS AN ILLEGAL COPY. If you want it so much then buy the damn os and patch it yourself
works like charm!!!!
got it working on both, PC single boot leopard and Dual boot with vista on Acer aspire 5672…
trying dual boot withXP now!
Thank you OSX86
Thank you Uphuk!!!
does it works on every intel pc because i have “Intel inside pentium 4″
Happy for answer;)
Very great guide!:D
when i start installtion I worked I entered Disk Utilty But i Didnt find the hard disk i restarted the pc and maked the hdd master but it doesnt go to instalition and still waiting for root device massege apeared before going to instalition can any onae find answer for this proplem?
Sooo this is amazing…i followed all the steps…and finaly have the mac os 10.5.1 but i run the mac update software…and try to go to 10.5.4…now my computer just reboots when i launch the mac os…should i not have done that? or is there another way to get the updates?
NEVER UPDATE THROUGH THE APPLE UPDATE CHECK ON FORUMS INSTEAD AND SEE IF THERE��S A NEW IATKOS SO YOU CAN UPDATE!!!
@Ludwig: I’m using a Pentium 4 right now with Mac OS X Leopard & Tiger, but beware, your Pentium 4 should support SSE3 instructions if you want better quality. To put it the other way around, you need a Pentium 4 codename “Prescott” or higher. The lower ones will still work, but with many limitations.
I burned iATKOS_v1.0ir3 onto a DVD, seems there are a dozen varient names. Is everyone a little different. What do I need to use with a newly purchased Leopard disk?
Thanks, I’m really new at this and am trying to produce a machine for my son.
Every time I try to install iatkos v4i the install gets about a quarter of the way done and then freezes. It just sits like that for awhile and eventually just reboots itself and runs xp like nothing happened. I have acronis and it shows that the 5.1gb that apple says is needed to install are there, but it doesn’t pick it up as an operating system and won’t boot as one. I’ve been reading around and I’m gettin a new mobo, so I don’t know if I should also upgrade my processor to a core 2 duo, or is there an SSE3 p4 out there that wouldn’t be as expensive and would still work the same as a core 2 duo.

Get off it. Apple gets loads of my money, but there is no reason to carry guilt about using any pirated apps that come from Apple or Microsoft, both are empires built on theft. To harp about that being an illegal copy is like yelling at someone for beating the shit out of the guy who raped your wife.
hey i want to install mac om my amd and have got the file to install it as well but am not sure how can i install….
i don’t want to install in my original hard drive, but want to install in my external hard drive…. which has enough space but am not able to make the dvd run as bootale…
lol i just like to not have my isp ban me
Hi, i have an Intel Dual Core 1,6ghz PC… will this work for me? or just the three-step-mode will work? or neither of them will work? >.<
Thank you
@ L$
So if I just upgrade to a Prescott P4, or one that supports SSE3 instructions, then it shouldn’t make a difference.
ok, i installed leopard with iaktos fine.
but again i have the blinking cursur problem…
no matter what i try it wont boot.
i am using a WD my passport essential as an external drive and everytime i install it says success but than it wont boot… and if i try the command mentioned on top of the page it just tell me i have to shut down my computer…
has any1 solved the blinking cursur prob yet?

can you install it without the cd burned???
Hi,
A beginner question:
After downloading the ISO file, do I burn it to DVD as data or should i exract it somehow??
I used Nero but it only burned a few files… I mean, the ISO file is about 2GB but on the DVD I only have 183kb burned…
I get the Darwin Boot screen but after a minute or so there’s a “no entry” sign and no respond…
Anyone???
Thanks,
Avi Theret
For all you guys asking: “Can I install this on my….” “If I dual boot, will it destroy my…” “I’ve already dual booted, can I still…” I have just one question for all you novices:
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF MICROSOFT VIRTUAL PC–IT’S FREE!? And all those silly questions of yours won’t matter. If it doesn’t work for you, so what, no damage to your computer. if you load it up, works for a week and then crashes and won’t boot–oh, well who cares.
That’s the beauty of virtualization. Go google: Vmware Workstation (commercial) or just go download Microsoft Virtual PC.
And welcome to the computer age in 2008. Dual Booting is dead.
@Theret
I have the same like 7 files thats called bott.p or something like that =S
Please help me and Theret!!
Thank You
Hi MIKO
well, thanks for the reply…
You sound very sharp and smart and very 2008 but you didn’t even answer my question and it’s not in your “stupid questions” list…
If you already made an effort to use your amazing brain and answer at least answe and don’t patronise.
Avi
Well my way might help you theret…. if u r using virtual machine…. then just link the iso file to in ur cd drive of your virtual machine and will do…. if not then try using ultra iso… that might help you through writing the iso…
Hi Drups,
Thank you very much for sharing knowledge.
Avi
So, I’m a little bit confused.I have an Intel Pentium D Dual Core, 2 GB Ram, and I want to install this on my PC. will work for me?? And where I can find drivers for my Motherboard Asus P5WH-WiFi????
Wait, does this require Dual-boot? I have an Acer Extensa 5220 with Intel Celeron. If i proceed with this, will i only run Leopard when i have the DVD in, and Vista without the DVD? (Sorry, it’s a noob question), and second of all, will it work without Dual-boot?
just wondering… will leopard work on my dell dimension 2350 p4@1.8ghz, 768mb ram and ati radeon hd2400?????
Thanks. P.S. to download the file you need to download utorrent
hey its cool
Hey, I burned the ISO on to a DVD and everything works until the install. about 2 minutes in it says “Cannot validate the 10.5.1 package” what did I do wrong? should I re-download the torrent?
I Got a Copy of Mac Os X, from My Macbook, would this work aswel?
@Zev:
No, it won’t work. This is a hacked version, required to load it on a non-Mac hardware machine.
I can seed at 15meg cable speed for a few weeks if someone still needs the file. Let me know.

@Zev:
No, won’t work. Need a hacked version like this one to install on non-Mac hardware.
I can seed @15 meg cable for a few weeks if some of you still need this. Let me know.

Dual booting is dead?
I would wish it was true. Please tell me how to virtualize MACOSX on Linux (e.g. Ubuntu). Afaik it doesn’t work neither under Vbox nor under VMware.
I look forward to the solution.
I stil do not understand if you can do this install on a pre dou core PC Cna this install be done on a Pentium 4 2ghz Toshiba laptop? Thanks Tom
Hi to everyone,
I followed the instructions and tried to install it on my virtual machine. However, just before the installation should start, I get an error message:
“An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered. The virtual machine will reset now.” I don’t get this message if I boot the physical machine. I have Intel P4 3.06 GHz. If anyone has an idea of what’s going wrong, I’d appreciate your advice.
Thanks in advance
p.s. Sorry for the unprofessional vocabulary
Can anybody help me with this installation part.
As told in this article i downloaded iATKOS v1.0i
I am trying it to install on Vmware which has Windows 2000 already installed.
But when i boot from Dvd Image of iATKOS v1.0i it shows the following error.
“SAM MULTIMEDIA READ OR WRITE FAILED”
How Many gigs of ram can Mac OS X support on a PC. Like Windows XP 32 -bit can only go as high as 3 gigs.
Aren’t there any help on this forum
I have downloaded the dvd and am stranded can anybody bail me out of this??
I have Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I got a white macbook (2GB RAM, 160GB Harddrive) the august before leopard, can I use this? Are there other variations? Thanks. (silverlongsword@gmail.com)
@CHUCK
Yes I’ve seen the video and I agree it is VERY helpful, but unfortunately my system was not really compatible with leopard. I have ordered new mobo and am as of right now ordering a video card and new memory to build the “perfect OS X / XP Pro computer.”
Hi i ve installed the Mac OS leopard 10.5 as i read above..

Hi! Is it possible to install Leopard with this config;
Intel P4, 1,8 GHz, 512 MB ram?
Please mail me: kotya(at)citromail.hu
Now i run vista, iATKOS v4i and ubuntu 8.04 it’s easy do 3boot.
First i shrink volume c:\, one partition for Leopard in fat, next command line (create partition primary) for ubuntu.
Patches for leo v4i
iatkos main system-stock files-apple smbios 27 imac-remove thermal.kext-sata-gmax3100.
Then reboot with dvd and type -s, darwin, target disk,partition number, efi (for MBR)
Active partition for leo with fdisk.
For ubuntu you need do a instalation manualy and install ubuntu on root.
Thank for you reed.
THIS IS AMAZING>
guyz can you plzz seed …i really need this..plzzzzzz
I’m currently trying to install it now. Looks good so far. It didn’t show my hard drive when it asks you which drive you want to install it on. I’ve rebooted and formatted with FAT32 hoping it will work..
Thanks a lot for this tutorial, its good for people who can’t afford a mac and who would like to experience it.
Now i did 4boot with vista premium, XP, iATKOS v4i and ubuntu 8.04.
To do this, you need easybcd and don’t need type any commands to add entry to OS.
First install vista, second XP(you need install easybcd to repair vista bootloader), third iATkos, fourth ubuntu. For last you need instal easybcd in Vista and add entry for the three OS.
when i tried to install leopard using the dvd image i got from mininova, the installer worked up until i had to pick a drive to install it on; the selection area did not show any drives. what do i have to do to get the installation to detect the harddrive? i have a hp notebook running windows vista, and the harddrive is formatted into two partitions
Hi, when will AMD processors can be supported ??
I have downloaded all RAR file “iATKOS v2.0i r3″ 23 files but I don’t know how to convert them into ISO. can any body help me please……..
thanks in advnace
I got a Mac with OSX, how can i create the iATKOS ..
thanks..
Hi Alex, you have to make an empty drive ready for it. A drive which does not have another operating system installed and at least 5Giga. You could then format the drive to mac file system with the Disk tool of the mac installation.
wow, great, this is better than pear pc or any of the other hackintoshes.
i bought a mac and then it broke and i can’t afford a new one so im gonna try this but i have the freakin crappiest hardware, so i dont even have dvd-r drive. ill use my friends…
i got intel celeron 2.00ghz, gig of ram, two hard drives
is the download speed back up
thnx
is it illegal? will i be tracked down by apple?
Hi I have a sony vaio vgn-fz130e notebook. I downloaded iAtkos and burned it. When I try boot to my dvd with the disc I get an black screen with the words No Operating System. I am confused. I have an operating system install or is the iAtkos just a patch after I install OS X lepoard.
Hi
Please help some One.
I have successfully installed iATKOS v2.0i on my dell inspiron 1525 n series
but i have no sound, no ethernet driver, no wifi(says no airport card installed), no bluetooth 
Can Someone please provide Dell Inspiron 1525 n series drivers, It will be so noble to you guys!
Thanks Guys! in Advance once again
If you need install iATKOS v4i on your pen drive follow this.
First you have iatkos preinstalled on the PC, second you have do an image of DVD with disk utility. Then you use disk utility to create a partition and format in Mac OS X extended (journaled) with the name Mac OS X installer on your pen drive.Finally you have to put the pen in the pc and reboot by dvd and type -s,darwin,disk number, partition number,efi(for MBR).
activate pen drive with fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX, flag X, update, write, quit,reboot.
With disk utility you need restore the image file (source) to the partition of the pen drive(location)
The .iso zip file doesn’t seemed to have another iso file inside. Is that the iso file to write to the media? Also, has anyone safely dual booted?
HI
I got an original copy of OSX Leopard 10.5.1 i put it in my normal pc and try to boot from it but it just wont boot, i have tried it on 2 pc’s both of which have core 2 duo Intel’s in them.
I then thought i could burn an iso from the dvd with ‘magiciso’ but when i try it says an iso does not exist and that the dvd is not bootable.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

when we install this stuff, what will happen to our previously used files..i mean will the files be changed for the new OS standard…i hope you guyz get my question..
I extremely excited about trying this. I have of course completed the download and burned the image to disk; everything even appears to boot perfectly fine. the issue is that when going through the iATKOS installation, following all steps listed above, I cannot get anything to recognize my hard disk. It is separated into 3 partitions, 1 of which is vista, the bootable, the last of which is the original hp recovery partition, and the second is a new 20Gb partition i have created for the leopard install. Neither of these partitions are recognized during the installation, therefore I have no options to continue with the installation. Please help. I am willing to dump vista completely and put my faith into a hackintosh at this point, so any solution is really an option. Thanks.
Dudes, this is gonna screw up your computer. Just buy a Mac if you want to run Leopard so badly.
Yea Step 2. Go job at making it 1 step. LIAR!!
and all of you asking about EFI-X, just go to http://www.psystar.com
you people have huge dark nipples.

Thanks for your times guys!
i just dont know how to patch the dvd image for leopard
can some on just direct me to a video showing the patching instruction or just tell me how i can get the iso to run in windows
are you sure what you guys are talking about? you guys gonna have lots of problem installing mac in PC… ok tell me 1 who has successfully installed MAC in PC which works totally fine as using in Mac
I am writing this on the hackintosh i made from iDeneb 10.5.5 and it works perfectly.
I saw an iAtkos v1.0 r3, was wondering whether it is an official version.
I’m downloading that right now, and the download is at 99.7% – and stuck.
I finished download, and I burned it to a DVD (at 16x using Nero).
then, i restarted my computer and in the BIOS, I set the DVD rom to boot before the HDD.
However the Mac will not come up! There is no countdown,nothing. After the BIOS splash screen is the Windows XP loading screen.
Any help? Thanks
ok so your saying that all you need is
1 a patched mac osx leopard 10.5 dvd image burned on a disk
and nothing installed on the pc to make mac osx cd reads in the drive just pop it in restart the pc boot from cd and and it will start installing mac osx leopard is that it????????????
or do i need some additional software to make the pc read the mac osx CD??????????????????
can someone explain please thanks for helping .
> KEMRON – look for Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD torrent “somewhere”. forget patching anything. check all components of your system, above all network, audio, graphics card. then install and select the corresponding drivers from the DVD. if in doubt about a component, don’t install it, but do it later from your “mac”. btw, avoid updating the OS (keep 10.5.2), though you can update the graphics. also, it really is easy if you have a dual or quad core processor – if not, good luck, you’re on your own :p
> MAC – mine works PERFECTLY.
> Jason.fordell – did you sort it out? try loading windows and installing partition magic or something of the like. then reformat the 20GB partition as FAT32. and try again. the installation of mac should then find it…
ok <> am gonna download it and try in AND SEE HOW IT WORK I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AM DONE DOING THIS OK KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSS
THANKS!!!
Kemron, do you have your bios configured to boot first from CD, then DD??
hey can anyone help me!?!?
@ MIKE – perhaps, what’s the problem?
I just burned the ISO to a DVD via Nero at 2.4x speed, and I can’t boot from it!
I checked the BIOS, and it is set to boot from the CD/DVD ROM before the hard disk.
I downloaded the iAtkos v1.0 r3 torrent (2.09GB) and it took me around three weeks, and uTorrent says that 18.4MB has been wasted (0 hashfails).
Is my torrent download corrupted, or something?
FYI, I have WinXP Pro on a Pentium D 3.6GHz with 1GB DDR2 RAM, and two hard disks (second HD has 20GB and is unallocated).
any help is greatly appreciated.
@GEOFF – alright the torrent downlaods fine and when i boot from cd it boots up with the apple and the circle thing in the bottem then switches to a blue screen then stops doin anything?? do i need to clean my hard drive off first befor install of os x? or does it use windows components from the operating system on te computer already im running xp home sp3 on a dell insperon B120 its a laptop with 512 ram and a 128mb intel graphics card and a celeron m prosser its like a 1.8ghz
@Mike – dunno what could be the problem there… probably the processor – i tried it on a laptop with a P4 and it was simply no-go. disk cleaning is not necessary. it doesn’t use windows compoents. if you get to the beginning of the installation, you format whatever partition you want. but if you don’t get that far i have no idea how to help :s make sure that in the BIOS the IDE configuration is set to AHCI. otherwise it’s unlikely that it will work. problem aswell is that you can’t boot windows in AHCI… so each time you’ll be obliged to change it. though i believe you can boot into either if its configured as RAID…
@Geoff thanks for your asitence i wish you could have been of more help… if u could acrosst any other info please put it up. have you got this to work on any computer?!?
I have the iATKOS_r3 archive parts from a torrent now. When I go to extract them on a 36 gigabyte hard drive, it tells me the disk is full. Why is that?
yes, it works perfectly, but it’s a b***h to update, so i don’t bother
it’s 10.5.2 with Intel Quad Q6600 processor, Asus P5K-E wifi motherboard…
Could you please write a article with the complete steps on how to install your Tiger OS X on a Dell Dimension 4600 “in Three Easy Steps?” I would like to know what I will need and how to do it for this “old time computer.!”
Geoff, i got it work, i download it from here,http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Mac-OS-X-Leopard-10-5-1-for-AMD-SSE2-SSE3-32bits/3429952e35648c69e427833a0a741abdbb8783ea60b6
but there is a problem i dont have sound and i dont think the graphic is working properly either, but i am wondering if its because i did not patch it i just install if right through never used the terminal commands could that cause it ?
and is it possible to get drivers for sound and graphics
i have a
AMD690GM-M2 ELITEGROUP MOTHER MOARD
WITH A GEFOREC PCI-EX 6600 CARD
WITH 2G DDR2 MEMORY
WITH AMD ATHLON 64 PROCESSOR
CAN YOU HELP ME
Can anyone tell me where can i find a tutorial for creating a live pen drive to run the leopard without install.
Thank you.
most useful files are there somewhere or linked. look up the precise details of the sound card- before you install anything…
for the graphics,install the one corresponding to the frequency of your cards, ie 256, 512, etc… i think down at the bottom, the second last one, might be a good place to start – that’s what i’d do
i can tell you with near certainty that you can find the drivers… the graphics is 100%, the sound you’ll have to look harder maybe… look up Taruga (google)…
Can anyone tell me how to install leopard under VMWare Workstation 6 on a PC?
I get stuck at the grey screen for over an hour, then gave up. Same with -v just with a line.

Can I install Leopard on my PC with Windows XP already installed? I would like to keep my XP settings untouched and a new Leopard OS.

i would appreciate if anyone can help me… also i can help anyone that may need it… i’m not a mac pro, but i’m an experimented pc user…
btw… plz excuse my english, it’s just that i’m not from US… xP!
for all of those having problems with booting off the DVD..
just wanted to share with you guys a few things:
-download Kalyway 10.5.2! kalyway is a newer version.
-don’t use nero! download BurnCDCC, it’s a free and portable software
-don’t use burnatonce! it will not work in many cases
-burn at 4x or slower!
hope this helps all those out there.
but I have a personal problem myself: i have a 20Gb secondary hard drive, and i have it as “unformatted”. in the Disk Utility, the said hard disk shows up as “Failing”!
Details show that “S.M.A.R.T reports this hard disk drive is failing”.
I am really confused as I don’t want to partition my primary hard drive.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks for the info yauhui..
Quick query.. I’d like to dual boot but the dual boot hack looks pretty technical.. could i not create a partition and install kalyway 10.5.2 to that?
maybe it would need formatting..
obviously someone has thought of this but im just wondering why not!?
thanks
i have an AMD proccesor does that matter?
Question��� has anyone been able to upgrade to 10.5.5 or is that not possible.?
Using Intel 945GC chipset with Intel C2Duo processor
Format: Mac Extended with Case-Sensitive and Journald
Custom option: Bootloader x86 only
It works perfectly until I try and upgrade the OS then I can’t get it to boot up again���
Any help is appreciated.

Once you see the “Agreement” window ( do not click “Agree” yet ) go to the top of the screen and use the disk utiliy.
Utilies > Disk Utility
I have only had luck with Mac – Extended + options
Good luck.
i done the download file: iATKOS_v1.0ir2.iso (size: 2.55GB) and i burn in DVD use Nero, after done the DVD is blank (0 bite) but it have the burned mark in DVD actually. i try 2 time with 4x speed also same. i insert that DVD in mac also show blank DVD.
what is the problem? pls help.
can PM me in my timmygoo@gmail.com also thx.
Does this work for pentium 4 processors?(not x86)
I had the leopard running successfuly from the download, but when I used it, it would only work for five minutes and then shut off. After trying to reinstall it as well as using the utilities in the install menu, I gave up because the entire computer, no matter what you are doing, or if you are n the middle of any process will shut down every five minutes. Next I tried to reinstall XP but that didn’t work because the computer shut down if five minutes. Another problem was that I can no longer access either windows or mac.
I am new to these types of operations and would greatly appreciate any help on the subject.
Thanks.
hey guys for all you that are having truble with the install heres something i did to make it work befor you press agree if you get this far go up and use the disk utility and take the hard drive off ms_dos cause it wont install with that selected.
Question – im installing right now and the screen is all pixlely and black and white is that just part of the install? could someone help me?
Can some one help me?
Jordan –
Do a search for “iAtkos V4a amd only”
That should get you on the right track.
TIM –
If you have a mac just buy the Leopard OS…
I believe this software is for PC users to try the mac platform before buying one…
Alright, I’ve got my Hackintosh running successfully. Now that I see many having problems, I’d like to share my methods, hope this helps:
WHAT YOU NEED:
-Internet connection
-Mac-to-be computer, with Windows/Linux/whatever OS installed
-another Windows XP computer
-FAT32 thumbdrive
1) Don’t download iAtkos, it has less seeders. Search for Kalyway 10.5.2 Intel/AMD SSE2/SSE3 on Mininova.
2) Download it, and burn the ISO to a DVD using BurnCDCC (it’s free, Google it).
3) Burn at 2x or 4x speed! This is VERY important.
4) Now to install: I’ve found that things are easier if you install Leo on a secondary hard drive. Go out and buy an 80gig SATA or PATA hard drive (I had problems with IDE hard drives).
5) Do not format the hard drive in Windows yet! Pop in the Hackintosh disc and boot from it via the BIOS.
6) When the Darwin prompt appears, and the countdown begins, hit F8 and type in -v, then press Enter.
7) Select “English”, then proceed.
8) At the “Mac OS X Leopard Installation” screen, do not click “Continue” just yet! At the top of the screen, there should be “Utilities”. Click on that, then Disk Utility.
9) Right-click on the new hard disk and format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). For the name, type in anything that’s one-worded, or else future patching will not work. I typed in “Leopard”.
10) Formatting should take a few seconds. Once done, quit Disk Utility and click on Continue to begin installation.
11) Select the volume named Leopard (or whatever name you typed in while formatting). Proceed.
12) The installer will check the disc for consistency. Although this is not necessary, I recommend you wait for the check to finish. Or else, click on Skip.
13) Let the installation begin. Takes about 20minutes on my Pentium D computer.
14) Once done, restart the computer. Quickly enter the BIOS page.
15) Set the boot configuration so that the Leopard hard disk boots BEFORE the CD drive.
16) Save and exit. The Darwin prompt should appear now. Press F8 and type in -s (for single-user mode).
17) Some lines should scroll past the screen. After that, type in “/sbin/mount -uw /” (without the quotation marks) and press enter.
18) Then, type in “/movevideodrivers” and hit enter. This should fix any blank/blue screen errors.
19) Now type “exit” and let Leopard start. You should see a gray screen with the Apple logo. Wait for awhile.
20) A few prompts should appear. Follow the instructions.
21) After all that, you should be on the Leopard desktop. Wait, dont jump with joy just yet! You’ll need to patch Leopard to start without the DVD. Go here for the patch (download it on a Windows machine):
22) Unzip it. Rename the FAT32 thumbdrive as “USB”. Copy all the contents of the patch archive to the thumbdrive root folder.
23) Plug it into the Mac machine, and open Terminal (in the Utilities folder).
24) Type in (without the quotation marks) “cd /Volumes/USB”
25) Then, type in “./patch.sh Leopard” (replace “Leopard” with the name of your Mac volume)
26) Follow the instructions. Do not install the original Mac core kernals or whatsoever.
27) Now, remove the USB thumbdrive and the Leopard DVD, and restart the computer.
28) Enter the BIOS settings and have the CD drive boot first. Save and exit.
28) You should be looking at the Darwin boot prompt again. Let the countdown finish and you SHOULD be in Leopard.
WARNINGS:
-Do not install any bootloaders. To boot into either Windows/Mac, just switch the boot order of the two hard disks.
-Do not update to 10.5.5 (many failed Hackintoshs are due to this).
NOTES:
-Sound and networking might not work.
Happy experimenting!
For those who have problems with their Hackintosh, please go to forum.insanelymac.com and head over to the Tutorial section.
Find the How-To thread that bests fit your problem. I had problems with my network and sound, and now both are fixed and fine.
hi jc

Anyone got stuck on a loop? I get the Welcome Screen, i select United States, then Continue, then Select Keyboard, I select US and it goes back to the Welcome screen…
This is with Kalyway 10.5.2 an ideas?
@jordan: which hackintosh are you installing?
@papablopa: don’t alter the keyboard settings unless you’re a non-US keyboard user. also, what software did you use to burn Kalyway?
ok so i got to the apple sign and the wheel spinning but it just kept on spinning and spinning for about 2 hours
finally i able to install Leo. base on yauhui teach.
but im using onboard intel vga 64MB display (Intel GEV915 main board)
the display res only set to 1024 x 768. and the icon look big and blur with my 19″ LCD., how can i make it batter & higher res.? any driver for intel chipset to download? thx!
mine says no os found then boots into vista it is a think center if you know how to fix this email 214760@gmail.com
Have they still not made this AMD compatible? =/
Hi,
I have a question. Can I burn/unzip the ISO image to a USB Flash drive because my netbook doesn’t have DVD drive and I don’t want to buy a DVD drive just for this.
Thanks,
-Caten
@alacres: they have, but not with the iAtkos. go look in the insanelymac.com forums and you can find AMD versions.
ALSO: If you want to update your Hackintosh (10.5.1 or 2) to a newer version (10.5.4) you’ll have to patch the update file.
Go to the Apple website and search for Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 Combo Update and download it (500MB+). More details at the InsanelyMac forums.
I have version 4 of this. On a gateway, it installs ok, go to reboot and you get a grey screen, an apply logo and then a red cross…thats it.
Game over for me, failed on the first step!
Kalyway release got further, but left with a blue blank screen. Read howt- followed steps to load drivers, again no luck
Version 5is out, im gonna try it one last time, if not im going to linux (ubuntu, madriva2009 or mint)
I’d like to know if this can be installed in an external hard drive. I’ve got an external 80 Gb harddrive, that would be perfectly clean, no risk on my system, but I must be 105% sure this doesn’t touch the innternal hard drive.
“I have a question. Can I burn/unzip the ISO image to a USB Flash drive because my netbook doesn���t have DVD drive and I don���t want to buy a DVD drive just for this.”
In short, no.
Assuming you want to install OSX on your laptop, you need to borrow an external DVD drive for the install – or possibly network it to a computer that has one (haven’t tried this).
I got Leopard installed fine but I cannot set my startup disk. Does anyone know how to make it start to the Mac partition? My disk doesn’t show up under the Apple Startup Disk utility.
thanks.
hi ppl,
I just burned the image and it’s listed in properties as this:
Size: 183KB (188,386 bytes)
Size on disk 192KB (196,608bytes)
There are a couple of boot files n’ stuff, but how does a collection of files this small install Leopard – Thanks – Mark
I tried putting OS X on my pc before, but had problems with my SATA JMicron. Anyone know if Jmicron SATA will work on this release?
can i use a cd-rom?
@mark: re-download the installation ISO.
@chris: i’m not sure. check the insanelymac.com website for more details.
@chang: no, because the ISO is over 2GB so it wont fit on a CD.
hi i heard that it is impossible to install mac os x onto a pc because you need to have a mac bios.
is it possible i can install mac os X onto a 8gb sd card?
then run it from there?
and i tried mac os x on a emulator like VMware but it said “you already have VMWARE running please close it to continue”
i dont have it running

I tried the Download again from minova, but nero wouldn’t burn the image, so I downloaded a program called Infra Recorder, and burned the image from there. Only thing is, even though the disk looks to have been burned on, it is showing NO FILES ! when I try to open/examine the cd in my computer. Also, when I click properties it just says Used 0 bytes – Free No Bytes – Capacity No bytes, – Could anybody please tell me what the hell is going on here, coz I’m banging my head against the wall here……please help – Mark
hi ppl,
Just tried the iso d/l again from minova, before i got
iATKOSv1.01.iso.zip, but that didn’t seem to work as i only ended up with some boot files, (not very large), when I burned the image.
So I tried the d/l again and this time I got iATKOSv1.01.iso. But nero STILL wouldn’t recognise it as an image file, so I d/l a program called Infrarecorder, and that seemd to do it, or so I thought.
After the imaged had been burned I just wanted to check the cd in my computer, but when i opened it, the was nothing there. And when i clicked properties for the cd it told me – space used 0 bytes – space free 0 bytes – capacity – no bytes, it’s just showing a blue full circle, so it’s done something, but I dont know what. Can somebody please please help me, because I am banging my head against the wall here & I don’t know what to do – thanks – Mark
Mark,
Have you tried just booting to the disc? You may not be able to see the files in Windows. Just a thought.
thanks, Trying2BAMacUser, but I can’t risk it, as I’m usin’ the wife’s PC, untill i get one built after christmas, and this pc has a restore partition on it, so I couldn’t even think of trying to boot up with this, Also as it’s an AMD Sempron 3000+, and not an Intel Core 2 Duo, which I am getting After Christmas, it just wouldn’t be compatible, so no go there for me I’m afraid.
I just needed to know if what I was seeing with regards to the cd data, or lack thereof was normal.
Thanks Anyway – Mark

How to do you get into mac osx? Do you choose it from the boot up screen or switch it in the hard drive?
How to do you get into mac osx after you install it? Do you choose it from the boot up screen or switch it in the hard drive? do you have to dual boot it?
no, don’t download the mininova distributions. that would be pirating os x, which we don’t want to do. what you could do is buy the leopard retail dvd, and intall it on your pc with boot123. still wouldn’t be legal, but at least you can sleep at night knowing you paid for a license. (or you could shell out 500 more dollars and buy the real one)
I had downloaded iATKOS_5i and burned with nero but only showed iATKOS_4i. After pressing F8 and -v it hangs in the screen. I tried everything like changing cancel 2core, disable audio, network, ide, sata, usb settings etc… nothing come through. I am using DG33BU motherboard with build-in VGA G33/G31 and 1.5gb ram, 320gb hdd sata, sata LG dvd Core 2 Duo CPU E6550 2.33Ghz. Thank u in advance.
I had tried iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 too, same error made me sad.

Hey can someone give me instructions on how to burn it to dvd, because i tried burning it but it just wont work. When i boot my system i select boot from cd/dvd and it just boots up vista
@maverick: the reason why it’s so slow is because this is so damn old! Even iAtkos 6.0 has been released.
@chana: if you download for free something you’re supposed to buy, chances are it’s illegal and you could be fined some hundred thousand dollars and maybe even do jail.
@leo: i’ve written an extensively detailed installation guide in a recent comment above. Read it.
@atiyeh: make sure to burn a bootable image disc. use BurnCDCC and burn nothing but the ISO at 4x speed or less.

Hi,
that a interesting news, I’m a linux fan (ubuntu) but I’ll lie if I say that I’ld never think to try a mac os…and maybe it’ll be usefull for my brother…
Thans by the way I start the download 10min ago and I’ll seed hit every day at 01h to 09h ( portugal local time).
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E7300 3MB L2 Cache 2.66GHZ 1066Mhz

I have successfully installed iATKOS v1.0irs on my Core2Duo PC and it is running great, including Network and Sound. That is it runs great until I try to do the Software Update to Lepord 10.5.6 from Apple. I get the “You need to reboot” screen everytime after the Update is installed. Is there something special I need to do to install this Update?
This is very cool, but I have one question:
Do I need a Mac keyboard and mouse to use this software?
I just tried to install it, and the “Press Any Key” screen went off fine, but when the screen that says “click the button to continue” came up I couldn’t get anything to work.
(I am using a PS/2 mouse and keyboard; my only USB stuff was made by microsoft, so I’m assuming it won’t work here.)
Anyone know if a date has been announced for the AMD release? This is amazing work and I’m looking forward to being able to take advantage of it
If anything wrong happen, can i just format my computer back to factory sitting with windows Vista CD ??
i dont care to lose the date, i just want to be able to work with MAC for 7 days before i buy my new computer, because i might switch to mac.
thanks
When i’m on the bios start up it said it is missed a file called/library/preferences/systemconfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist did i do something wrong?
what is the exact link? because i am very confused about how to do all of this…
hey, can anybody tell me if I need to make a partition for this to work?
I’ve tried intalling leopard on my pc before but using some else instructions that told me to make e separate partition…
Do I need to do that here too?
After installation is completed, and PC restart, it does not boot from hard disk or load leopard. Then I tried booting from DVD again and select Startup Diskk utilities and it did not show any option except “Network Startup”.
What to do to boot from hard disk now?
thx!
I have downloaded the iaktos and it has been booting on the screen with an apple and a loading circle for about 4 hours does this meen im screwed or do I just have a slow computer .

Okay. I’m 15 and I have an Xtreme Notebook Nova906V, dual core desktop processor,Drives, Dual RAID SATA HDDs up to 120GB each,2 Gigs of 400MHz DDR RAM, & PCI-Express for GPU.
Will this work on my computer????
Reading all the messages people have put on here i dont think that anyone has been able to get this program to work on a pc. i thought it was one easy set???
@ brock, yes it will. try iDeneb 10.5.5 first perhaps… and what has your age got to do with the price of fish? :p
@STU : i have, on two PCs, though it’s not “easy”… you just learn by mistakes… largely, i think people who have got it working don’t have any questions to ask any more, so the forum is cluttered with those who do.
@Claude: download iDeneb 10.5.5, it’ll probably work more easily
@Nanao: change the boot device priority in the Setup to HDD first.
I don’t know what my name has to do with anything. Ha.
Thanks. Do i try iBeneb in Mininova????
Hi,
I am taking an I-Phone development class but unfortunately do not own a Mac. I have a few questions about installing Leopard on the PC.
Is this the most update to date version of Leopard and if not, can it be updated once installed on a PC? I believe the I-Phone SDK requires the most up to the minute version of the OS to be installed.
Also, I have a Core 2 Duo processor and a GeForce 7900 GTO video card with 2 GB of RAM, should that work with this hack?
Thanks for any help.
i have downloaded the file and burned it. but when i boot it, i got an error message saying that /com.apple.boot.plist not found. what is the problem? i am using pentium d 2.8, p965t-a mother board, 2 gb drr2, 80 gb ide hard disk and an ide dvd rom. any help?

Oh God ! Now it is working !! After installing, If some one have problem of “Error loading Operating system” then I have solution for it guys.. Insert you DVD in to drive and again boot from DVD and dont do anything.. It will run and ask automatically for selection of country. Follow the steps and if it ask same steps again and again then restart pc manually and keep DVD inside ROM and it will ask again for country selection. Follow the steps now it will defenetely go ahead and show you Mac Desktop… it’s works for me..
Once it gets to the lepoard screen showing all the diffrent lagnuages it comes at it dosent show my keyboard is connected?

hi do you need a dvd or can you use a cd
I have an HP pavilion DV5-1183cl that I am trying to install the iATKOS file on specs as follows:
4GB DDR-2
Intel Core 2 Duo (Centrino) @ 2Ghz
320GB SATA HDD
with Vista premium (64-bit)
I am not able to get OS-X Leopard working correctly on it. It installs just fine after I format the hdd to Mac Extended with or without logging, however, on boot up it will sit at the main boot screen with the wheel going for about an hour or 2 and then a grayed out restricted symbol and no mouse pointer on the screen. any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I got everything working, it took a while but I got leopard to boot, however, I have no Air port (i know how i messed that one up.. I think) Same with direct ethernet connection, but my problem is, that I do not have sound, or USB, or multi-core support. I have a dell inspiron 6400.. I was wondering if anyone has the same computer and/or knows what the setting I need to pick are,
thank you.
please, any help would be greatly appreciated

hey guys i’m doing this because i wanted to try it but i was wandering how i could do a dual boot with my windows xp and mac osx i really dont want to lose anything. Thanks for the software hope to see a better version in the future again Thanks.
Hey guys, its great! I have no enough money to buy macbook
so we can use pc like mac 
(a kind of 
)
will I loose my files at my PC when I install iATKOS to my PC? is there any step which formats HDD or something like that?!
Thanks a lot for answers…
when I look at lots of builds specifically for this(osx on a pc) most people use asus motherboards. but as long as your using an intel board and processor this should work fine right? I ask because Im planning to build a pc with a gigabyte motherboard and want osx as an option.
so any intel board will work right?
>>burn the ISO at very slow speeds to the DVD.
I want to boot through a USB disk. I simply copied that .iso file to the USB disk but that failed to boot. Do i need to do something more than simply copying the .iso file to the USB?
Any help will be really appreciated.
i try to instal leopard 10.5.2 with AMD EFI Rev.2,but it can’t read the hard disk (Sata)
Hello.
I’m trying to install this. But when i try to boot the dvd it just reboots.
Motherboard: Asus P5Q-E (Intel P45 chipset)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
GFX: Asus nVidia GeForce GTX260
WD 500gb SATA disk.
Anyone know what to do?
will this work on my new VAIO P series sony netbook?
This tutorial is great and finally, in around five tries, it worked. Looking great.
Some tips that may help someone else.
- burn .iso to dvd on 1x speed. I have used imgburn.
- use an intel based pc with only one hard drive (the IDE). With sata it did not succeeded for me. May be because of some BIOS config. problem.
- Do Not select PC-EFI
- Tick ‘Remvove kext patch’ (forgot the exact label), in customize screen.
I hope it will work.
Hello, I need a little help from someone a bit more experienced than I am.
I have this mini-notebook:
Asus EeePC 901
I need the computer to remain quick.
Will installing Leopard slow it down too much?
Is it wise to install it on a computer like this?
I will appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance,

Hey all, just wondering about a few things here. I’ve been interested in the Mac OS’s for a long time, but I’ve never had enough to actually buy one of the Mac PC’s (FUCKIN’ OVERPRICED). First of all, dual boot config with Leopard and Vista is confirmed? Secondly, are the codec’s and plugins included and installed? And last, if I’m running iTunes on Vista, and I install iTunes on Leopard, will it open my library file from Vista, saving me the time of going through well over 4000 songs editing the names and artists and such?
By the way for everyone else, I don’t know what’s wrong with your computers, internet, firewall, etc. The seeds, are fantastic. I’m downloading at over 600kbps right now.
please seeds!!!!! we need seeds to spread up!!! there is no seeds
Quick Question. Now if i want to install this, and have two seperate hard drives. One will be formatted for Mac and contain Leopard and another hard drive will contain my Windows XP S2 C:drive.
Since they are SATA drives each i can open the case quickly and just switch cables to go from PC to Mac.
Is this a quick very clean solution or will i have problems in the bios doing this?
i have visa on my laptop right now, i hate it and i want to put leopard on, so i was wondering if i need to take visa off before i do this? and if so how do i do that? and also what will happen to all the files i have on my hard drive right now? will i be able to access them in leopard once its installed or do i need to buy an external hard drive, put all my files on that, install leopard, and than transfer them back to my internal hard drive.
thanks alot
(and yes im am noub)
when i install it i try to boot up and it says operating system missing
How important is the Ram? I have 2 2gb ram sticks. would that be the same as 4 1gb sticks? Or is the 1gb crucial?
I have windows xp and im wondering if i have to take that of and install lepord?
Nobody is going to seed. I Know, I hate seeding!
I we got a PC with a CD-ROM Drive. How i should install it?Do i have to burn it or just install from a second hard drive. In the BIOS i got a option to boot from USB HDD can i? Will it work? Any sugestions? PLZ.
If it is not posible PLZ tell me.
Then i have to buy a DVD drive
THX
Can someone SEED the AIKTOS thingy. Im loading 5 K. Normaly i load 400 K using transmisson

help?
thanks
hi.

I Installed Os X on a separate hard drive and this is the only so in this hd. but for some reason installation goes all well but if i restart and take the dvd out it wont start someone help please!!!!. how can i make it a bootable partition????
Has anyone been successful with installing this os on a compaq cq 50 because mine gets getting stuck at the apple logo boot screen with a no symbol above it can;t seem to find anyone that has had any success with leopard with this laptop
Hi, it took me 2 days to read this, but I made sure to read and not ask stupid questions, I got the ISO burned it to a DVD, I boot using the DVD, it will show a Apple logo on screen same as Mac wants to boot, but then it will say hold down the power button to shutdown?
can anyone let me know what im doing wrong, I have a Core2duo 2.0 with 4gb mem, its a laptop.
This sounds very good!! But I see you talked about Vista… what about WinXP? I have a free partition, can I keep both XP and Leopard in my PC?
I’d like to enjoy OSX, but I scare at thinking to format my XP partition…
thanks a lot!!
bye!

I’m not just saying this because it didn’t work on my computer, I’m saying this because no one BUT the creator got it to work.
“One-Step easy install that almost anyone in the world can follow”- What bullshit
Que : i installed it correctly

but when i restart my computer it shows me the msg that :-

and when i restart it shows me that msg again nd again plz help me

what can possibly be the problem? could I have made a bad burn?
Hello, I have successfully installed leopard but, I have one problem. The problem is that when I boot my computer all it says to me is the following
Boot_
What should I do? Could it of been a bad burn or where did i go wrong?
ok I got Leopard 10.5.5 installed on my P4 3.6GHZ w/2GB of Ram and Radeon 3850HD 512MB. I used iAtkos v5i used non-efi, and used the built in ATI installer for the 3850HD. voila, no issues so far..been using for 3 months now…b4 this, i had installed tiger 10.4.8 for like 3 years…pretty stable!…not bad for an old system! i got say, it even runs Call of Duty 4 pretty damn good!…i even have 10.4.11 running on an old IBM T30 with 1.8GHZ P4 and 2gb of ram. runs pretty good! even tho i cannot get the ati 7500 to run qe/ci
is this illeagal???????????
I’ve downloaded it at ave. speed of 116.4kb/s
And when extracted the .iso from .rar it was exact 2.44 GB (2,621,407,232 bytes) but when I mount it with daemnon tools it is only around 542KB….. So please help, I’m not going to use daemon tools but I just wanted to check if it’ll work….
AND OWNER: Please don’t provide torrent links again.. they are slow and useless….
There was a waste of 7.42MB and 1 hashfail.
The size of .RAR is 2.08GB
Hey,

Gosh you people are so fucking stupid..
You can download this iATKOS 1.0i
Mount it with Daemon Tools Lite
Install it to another partition (if you don’t know what a partition is then how the hell do you know how to breathe let alone torrent)?
VIOLA! You. Are. DONE.
Seriously you don’t even need to burn this to a disc. So get real already. Quit your winging about piracy its everywhere I pay $100 a month for internet I should be entitled to everything else for free. One day EVERYTHING on the internet will be free just you watch.
But thanks for the guide bro you’re a darn legend, downloaded at 800KB/s finished in 35 minutes and it works like a charm I’m posting from it.
So my regards to the OP and to everyone else that is having problems for gawds sake use google or stick with your current Operating system don’t just try leopard because its new and looks KOOOOLL! You need a genuine reason before you screw around with your OS.
skeet up in yo faces!
How am I supposed to install Mac OS X if my computer can’t burn at all? Might as well stay with windows.
First, seeding shouldn’t be an issue anymore, i downloaded this .iso with 30 peers going at 800kbps
.
Secondly, and more importantly. I’m trying to install this for a friend on his dell pentium 4 HT intel chipset. Is this chipset able to handle an os like Leopard? As well, any specific hard drive partition types needed to install? One final thing, going into terminal to install that kernal is not seeming to be all that successful for me. Anyone got any troubleshooting? I am entering the HD and partition information correctly.
I have a sony vgn-fw21l with intel centrino, 3gb ram will this work on my computer?
Hey Guys,
This sounds so mad.
A couple of questions, does the Pentium M processor count as one of the compatable processors? Also, would this work with the actual OS X dvd that you can buy?
Cheers
Bob
Im building a new box. I’m planing to have XP and Leopard.I think Im going to go with this solution for Leopard.
The question that I have is what will be the best Hardware configuration that I can use, so i do not have to deal with drivers, plug in and all that crap. Please suggest what is the best configuration, so it can be play and play like XP. IE: motherboard /brand and type? memory ? processors?
Thanks for suggesting.

a) Google. Your questions will probably have been solved.
b) Ask somewhere else. Like a forum. Not a comment page — it’s not like everybody follow this stupid comment page.
c) If you want to install Leopard because “It’s so KOOL! I’m hip!” then don’t. Buy a Mac instead. Pay Apple for their work.
nice tut but i have some questions :
- how do i come in the BIOS-setup screen of my PC (windows xp)
- when i install OS x does it delete my Windows XP or does it create a dual boot ?
i hope i can get some answers.

I would love to see one of these machines show up at a Genius Bar. The look on the Genii’s faces would be hilarious. Now to the point. What you are doing is a crime and is punishable by fines and jail time. Before making a hackintosh think about what it would feel like having a cock crammed into your asshole everyday for the next few years. I don’t know about you but that doesn’t seem worth it to have a shitty computer with an awesome OS running on it. I would rather pay $1400 for a portable computer thank you very much.
The Dell Mini 9 is an awesome machine to install this on. Did it with NO problems at all. The sound is great and the Airport works amazingly well. $400 Mac/Dell sweeeeeet!
Successfully installed Leopard 10.5.1 (from older webpage) on Celeron 3.2GHz with 2GB DDR ram. Works fine as long as the DVD stays in the drive. Need to tweak to enable booting and running from the hard drive….
once you finish can you easily switch back to windows?
can you switch back to windows easily??

@ Jason
Should like you already do that well on your own.
Hi, all,
Quick question tried running the installation earlier and i got as far as “select a location to install leopard” but it was not showing any hard drives.
i’ve purposely partioned a 15GB Drive Called MAC as NTSF or is that wrong? as i want to be able to do a dual boot when i start my laptop either choose Vista or Leopard.
@ DANIEL:
Howzit man, your post about mounting with daemon tools… brilliant. All these f*cktards here whining and complaining. Ive been tinkering with hacked/cooked version of software for my PC and cellphone forever. I’ve come to learn that the guys from M2D do some incredible work.
Thanks for the upload guys, and well done for making this available! If the leechers are too retarded to get it to work, thats their problem. They cant expect you to have fixes for every mobo, cpu, nic and graphics card on the planet… geez! get real.
Looking forward to installing this.
My PC for those who are interested:
Core2Duo 2.67GHz
Gigabyte S35 Media series mobo
4GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM
1.5TB HDD
Radeon 2600HD Pro graphics card
Hoping I wont have any install issues.
can i install this on virtual machine like vmware, virtual pc/server, sun virtualbox
thanks in advance.
Hi all, just want to say it worked! yipee! Got it to work on my laptop.
I must admit i am very proud of myself as i got it to triple booth with vista and ubuntu (linux) thanx to Acronis Os selector, I am even using it right now…only pain i have is that the wifi does not seem to work for me, would really like that cuz i hate cables.
Anyway i had to reboot like 3 times
1. on the dot prompt screen (i just did the diagnostic thingy it suggested)
2. on the apple loading screen(hard restart thats all i.e holding down the power button)
3.On the registration window (hard restart again)
& then it just worked
If u plan to double, triple or quad booth, install windows vista first, partition your hard disc (i have only one, 320g), i used acronis os selector & installed the booth manager (the last item) then logged out used the acronis to create more partitions, & had to reinstall windows vista again cuz i guess shrinking its size(when windows wasnt looking) caused a problem,(if u can create the partitions b4 installing an os first then no need for my long process as this is from a fairly noobish prespective lol), now i just logged into the new windows acct installed acronis & the boot selector again, logged out popped the mac dvd in & ran the process (a lot of youtubing knowledge u really have to know the install customization fairly well otherwise there will be a problem as its the most important part) when that worked, i used the mac boot loader to log into windows, repaired my acronis boot selector (cuz that goes with every new install or major file structure/partition change) and then i logged out & installed linux from a cd then used grub (its own boot loader to log back into windows & repair acronis yet again.(both linux & osx boot loader can only find windows nothing more well at least from what i did)..brrrrr i hate that part) but in the end it was all done/sorted yipee
so now i triple boot in style & the good part is i dont have to duplicate files cuz both linux & mac can mount my vista file system(which has the largest partition of the 3) so all my music/comic collection(both over 50g) are never a few clicks away on any os, SWEET
so heres my partition summary:
vista- about 260g
mac- about 30g
linux- about 10g
swap(for linux)- about 500mb
my laptop is an advent 8115 its configuration is
intel pentium4 dualcore T2080 1.73GHz
2gig ram
Intel GMa950 graphics card
sata 320g hard disc
booting with acronis boot selector
Windows vista home premium
Mac OS X
Linux Ubuntu 8.10
Good luck with yours!
Is there any kind of configuration???

I downloaded the iso and burned it to a dvd. But when i booted it up it loads and starts the gray screen with the apple. But then after one or two seconds my computer restarts. im on a toshiba satillite A105 with ubuntu. please help.
is that working on virtual box? thnx
Attempting this like the rest – following yauhui’s guide. I have his suggested ISO and when I get about 5 mins into bootup to install OSX I get
“ATA: Device wake up failed: …… terminating device
panic … kernal trap
Debugger called ”
Any ideas? I am running AMD Phenom (though I scaled down to one core)
My system:
AMD Phenom 9950
Asus M3A78-T
4GB Ram
PNY GeForce 9800 GTX
Toshiba SATA 120GB HD (Full dedicated to OSX)
Thanks in advance!
And to clarify I mean I get the message between steps 6 & 7
^_^ thanks!
Yauhui or anyone,
using the iDeneb v1.4 OSx86 ISO
i have reached the selecting language and utilities part but the major problem is that i cant use my intex PS2 mouse. it wont move .i only use my USB keyboard but i cant use it to enter the utilities.
please help.
thanks so much
@Leo, i don’t think there’s any way around that without getting a PS/2-to-USB connector, or a USB mouse. once installed you can get a driver – from the iPC 10.5.6 dvd i believe…
Hi,
I am reading this almost 2 years since posting. I aim to get a new high end PC about $1500 will do, and do this.
Questions:
I have the original 10.5 installer. Is this fine or I must have the one from mininova?
I can boot Mac OS X natively? No need for any PC ware?
Will the mic jack work? Mac inherently only have line-in, with no mic support, but this is soft/firmware issue. Will it now work on PC?
Cheers.
@malouf
when you say you have the original 10.5 installer do you mean a retail dvd of osx? if so then its not possible to install that on a pc like the one at mininova cuz that requires some complicated tweaking in command prompt (i think)..
I recommend the mininova one as i can confirm it works 100%
(well maybe not 100% but top tier for me) even faster than vista but slightly slower than ubuntu 9.04(linux) with a 4ext file extension (that thing scares me a little with the speed & maybe my open window animation too but thats besides the point)
no mic with it though haven’t really gone all out for a solution (if any exists) even headphones don’t seem to work on my install…but these are things i don’t plan to use anyway…
yep the chameleon booth loader allows you to select either the osx or vista os by default provided the vista install was installed 1st.(but i wanted an easy triple boot setup which ) you might have to press F8 to see the vista os though
so about the new pc, try to get a pentium based one with the dual core (as this works best), have an integrated wireless card that isn’t an intel pro 3495 abg as the wifi is not supported yet …there are also other ones too, but i cant remember now just google “the best internal wifi cards for iatkos” or similar & that should sort u out.
Then buy your pc in line with the specs that would support all your findings.
it’s really really slow!!!

@tony is ur torrent alife???
i stuck on 95.4% with bittorrent help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and seed!!!
well you could google search the file name with the word torrent behind it & i am sure you’d see it on other sites just confirm its the same thing with the same file size..I did this some time last week & i got the file under 2.5hrs but then there were like 30 seeders.
What are the basic running requirements for this version of Leopard??
With this, am I going to be able to keep Vista as well on my Computer or by installing Mac OS X, am I deleting Vista?
Please reply because if I can keep both, I’m going to install OS X tonight.
Thanks,
Ali Haghani
@yauhui and now you say it?!
@ all i have download the file and try to install it on virtualbox. it show the apple icon and close with error.
at logs it say a fatal error in recompiler cpu: triple fault plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help
Hi
Dont you guys have ANY respect for the developers?? They work night and day to bring OS X releases that you pirate overnight and try instaling on Intel PC
im not flaming anyone but its unethical and stupid since you WILL have problems,you WONT get updates once apple gets to know you have pirated the os.What will you do then??
The best thing would be to stick to shitty windows or get linux.Ubuntu is quite usable if you want simplicity
I get the iATKOS 5i 10.5.5 DVD for Intel installed. But, when I reboot. I get a dark grey box telling me that need to restart the computer in like 4 languages. Am I doing something wrong?
I also have the retail version 10.5.6. Can you tell me or give me the link to install this in VMware 6.5 and on a seperate drive.
Thanx
Dean
I tried to install it, at very start when i press enter the booting process starts but after a secend the loading goes stop and my system will restart. ill try this process many times but no use. plz help me as early as possible.

Hey guyz I’m running a Toshiba M700, tablet PC, currently I have split my 120GB hard drive into 2 partitions of 55 GB. I have one for XP and one for Vista and now I hope to replace my vista with this Mac OS x86. My computer’s stats should be alright but just for confirmation:
2.2GHz Core 2 Duo Centrino VPro processor
2GB RAM
120GB HDD
A screwed up Vista…
Ok, here’s my problem. I got myself the torrent for this, 2.09GB all right. Now its always inactive and there’s no evident problem with my bittorrent. Do you think I made a mistake half way? I’ve been acquainted with booting– I reformat my vista every now and then because of occasional blue screens due to my need for speed undercover. I just wanna confirm why the torrent is staying inactive– this is the first time EVER, since I have even successfully torrented a whole 6 GB NFS Undercover….
Need a little assistance.
Thanks.
Any other links that are downloadable?
Ok I succeeded in finding a better one now its running average 20kb/s. Thanks, but I solved that problem.
Anyway, do you think my computer would be able to run this?
I used Toshiba DVD Writing assistant and copied and pasted the contents of the .iso iAKTOs file inside.
However, I do not know how to
1. Burn at ‘slow speed’ (no such option in my DVD writer, I understand I may have to download a better burning software. I’m looking for one now. Nero 7?)
2. How to Boot to Disk? (I have dual XP and Vista, and also have a HDD password. There was no ‘system options press F8′ or anything like that, jumped straight into the windows boot manager after it says ‘press control P to something something’ and then like a whole page of words, I saw something like ‘new table fingerprint set’ and some other booting stuff and I’m in the boot manager ALREADY. What must I do???
Please someone reply me!
Is there some way out there to install Leopard OS X on my AMD 9500 Quad Core 4GB RAM 9500 GT 256MB PC?
I know it says AMD isn’t supported, but I have read around that it has been done and there are some extremely non user friendly guides out there for modifying the file. I have Vista 32 on my machine and I have created a boot/restore disc for it to do this all with. I even have a bought copy of the latest Leopard, unsure of whether I can use it or not, unopened so I can take it back.
If somebody can please guide me through this I will be forever grateful. I’m a graphic arts major at ITT Tech and I do independent study for Flash and Flex. I’d really like a mac can’t can’t afford the bastards. Please help. I’d appreciate your time.

i just successfully installed it on a satellite m105, 1.66ghz core duo, 1gb ram, intel graphics intel pro wireless, but used PLENTY of help.
the basic os ran great, but the sound, wifi, ethernet, sleep, etc., didn’t work. i expected as such, but thought it would be corrected with an update to 10.5.3.
however, when i ran the kalyway 10.5.3 combo update, it wouldn’t reboot. i know i missed a few patches, and thus screwed up the sequence. so now i’m downloading leo4allv3final, as recommended per toshibatricks, and will try it all again.
this has been a reeeeeealy fun project, and i’m glad i’m learning how to be a “real” computer geek, not just relying on my g4 powerbook and “evil steve’s” agenda.
fyi, the satellite has 100gig hd, and i partitioned 50 gig for osx86, 30 gig for “other”, and 10 gig for linux puppy.
at startup, i hold f8, and can choose which partition to boot. not quite a true dual-boot or simultaneous os scenario, but good enough for me.
btw, puppy works the best out of ANYTHING so far; all usb, optical drive, players, wifi, ethernet, etc run w/o hitch.
peace. -sg
RE: Hunter Modisett
I downloaded the iso and burned it to a dvd. But when i booted it up it loads and starts the gray screen with the apple. But then after one or two seconds my computer restarts. im on a toshiba satillite A105 with ubuntu. please help
Sweet! The tutorial has worked so far, and i think its going to work all the way… but i do have some questions… (A:) Will this not allow me to run Vista anymore? (B:) Will all my documents, programs, etc; be preserved? (C:) Can I run them both at the same time; and simply switch between them with a command key; (ex. CTRL+ALT+TAB)
thanks, and awesome tutorial,

Hi
I’m having problem running the iATKOS v1.0 DVD.
If I let the DVD run automatically, a gray screen with Apple logo in the centre appears, and after a while a symbol of a circle with a cross line shows up, and it just stays there forever.
If I press F8 when the DVD boots, and type -v, there will be a lot of scrolling text, and after a while the phrase “waiting for root…” shows up and keeps showing up line after line forever.
I don’t know if I did any wrong.
My PC has:
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8200 @ 2.66GHz
4GB of RAM
Motherboard Asus P5KC
Graphics Card Asus EN8600GT (512MB)
Windows XP SP3
I’m running a hard drive with 3 partitions on it, and just formatted the first partition for installation of Leopard.
Please help.
Thanks a lot.
Hi
I got an error message after installing iATKOS 1i:
“You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button.”
What should I do now?
Please help.
@K.Ha, you should maybe consider downloading a more recent version… iDeneb 10.5.6 works very well for me – and they’ve just released a 10.5.7 combo update. With the configuration you have, you really should have no problem. also, use a bare minimum – that is don’t bother with fixes for this, that and the other. if you keep XP, format the drive for Mac as GUID, not MBR. and in the Bios, configure SATA as AHCI.
@Chris – use the link above. it’s “AMD-friendly”

Please someone reply me!
@ CHUNG
I am not sure thats the right way to burn the iso file, might i suggest using a re-writable dvd so you can always erase the dvd if you make a mistake.
download a free iso burner, i recommend infrarecorder, you will see the option for burn speed (although i always use the max without problems)
when you are in the bios, you have to select the save & edit option once you change the computers boot order. Not sure of your setup, but the options are always at the bottom of the screen for you to choose.
Dont be deceived by some posters on here, it does work cuz i am a living testimony. Have not updated to 10.6 yet and have no intension of doing so yet cuz its working a-ok….(save the headphones jack and the wifi, but i got a usb wireless dongle real cheap). So I am content with with my triple boot setup as it is
Windows 7
mac osx
Linux ubuntu 9.04
@ CHUNG
sorry, I meant to say the “save and exit” option and not “save and edit”
Thanks for the tip. Still, just a little question, if I inserted the DVD BEFORE i turn on my com its gonna boot from the DVD right? Or is it manual?
In my boot manager I see my ‘older version of windows’ and ‘vista’ and the bottom, as you have said, is some troubleshooting. I don’t think I see a save&exit button…
Can u use it on Acer Aspire 1 A150
@jubei: Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) isn’t out yet… but the latest is OSX 10.5.7 if that’s what you meant.
@chung: It’s best to boot from different hard disks, partitions are RISKY! and don’t download iAtkos 1.0, its OLD… get iDeneb v1.4 OSx86 10.5.6 and use Pacifist to update to 10.5.7.
Any problems please ask the creators of the Hackintosh releases
@chung: you need to make sure the CD-ROM boots first in your BIOS. Also, the Windows boot manager only detects Windows OSes so you’ll want to install OSX on a separate hard disk, and boot via the BIOS.
ok i download it burned the ISO into a dvd boot it from bios then says press anykey to intall osx blah blah i hit anykey and says starting darwin/86 then it resets does this over and over then i did it on VM ware and it load the grey apple screen then i get this from VMware
*** 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.
any ideas???
don’t use mininova
Hey, look, I go to select a destination. But nothing appears to chosen! HELP!
Hey so i installed this today no problems at all and its running ok, only problem now following install is how do i get my wireless internet to work, i forgot to run the darwin thingy. i have a wireless card inside the laptop that runs fine on XP and VISTA i just assumed it would work normally now, do i need to install again or is there some form of driver i need to download…
Thanks
Nathan
I downloaded the iso and burned to a disk, but when I put it in my dvd/cd drive while my computer is booting up nothing happens. I’ve changed my boot/bios settings every which way like the other commenters said, but it’s like windows does not recognize the disk or something and just tells me to choose whether to boot Windows 7 or Vista.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Intel core extreme i7

8 gb ram ddr2 with speed of 1666mhz

this cannot be run on a dual boot machine since it overwrites the MBR
(there is a chance that easyBCD will allow you to create a bidirectional mbr)
any install is reversible since u can just wipe ur hard drive
hey i downloaded this and when i boot to the cd, it asks me to press any key if i want to install it, then the apple logo flashes and then my computer restarts. i have 2 hard drives in my computer, one has windows 7, and the other has xp. im trying to put it on the one that has xp. please help?
To all those having a problem with the hard drives, go into Utilities on the top menu bar and select Disk Utility from there. Now select the partition or drive that you wish to install OSX to and format with Mac Extended (Journal) or something like that. Then close the Disk Utility window and you will be able to see your hard-drive.
Karthik I strongly advise you to put this information within the tutorial as this seems to be a problem many are facing.
Thanks.
will this work for the snow leopard beta?
I HAVE A QUESTION!!!!
When i finished the installation of leopard and reboot the system
(from harddrive), there is a blinking underline character all time!!!
What should i do?????????
blink back at it
Does this hack have all fully working sound wifi etc? If the pc has wifi will it work in leopard? What are the disadvantages? Can I install additional osx software with this? Thank you sooooo much for the help!
Hi everybody..
I am now downloading the file (iATKOS v1.0i) but i have a slow internet speed.. so just tell me does it works on my laptop (ASUS) having a dual core cpu??
Thanx for who did this whatever it worked or not!
rather than partitioning the hard drive to dual-boot, can you just use boot camp on the mac os? if so do you use the recovery disc to reinstall vista?
@ Baravan, it will almost CERTAINLY work on your laptop.
@ Austin, no i don’t think so. but i’m running Parallels Desktop on Mac OSX – you can put any operating system on, i have Windows Vista, 7 Beta and Ubuntu. also possible with VMWare. games are crap though, coz the graphics memory is shared between the running OSes. gonna try installing a second one dedicated to virtual machine only, see if that works. in theory it should.
the iso is readily available on usenet for those that are having issues with torrents.
can you install it without the cd burned???
Hey Guys,
This sounds so mad.
A couple of questions, does the Pentium M processor count as one of the compatable processors? Also, would this work with the actual OS X dvd that you can buy?
Cheers
Bob
im running a winXP desktop, and my mom is having me try this out.. the drive is a SATA drive, and im going to be getting more info as to what the insides are, but until then, is it still even feasible to attempt the install?
Thank you bingaling for the reply..
By the way i am still downloading it!! 50% has bees downloaded and i hope it will work..

I' have a question
THX to all !
Search iATKOS on mininova as there are much newer version than the one this article tells you to search for. They are now on V7 whilst you guys are still getting V1
That;s superb. I m running Mac OS X on a pc. I cant believe it. Many Thanks.
My keyboard isnt being reconginzed. WHat do i need to do
Update your drivers, It may not work considering your manufacturer did not make your drivers with OS X in mind
i am running windows 7 right now.. how can i dual boot windows 7 and mac osx on my new dell studioXPS 2.4 ghz dual core 2 1066mhz FSB 4gb ram at 1066mhz nvidia 256mb video processor and etc.
ok, so i finally got it to work…it says press any key to start, i do that and in a few seconds it restarts…so then, i wait a little bit, and then it gives me the option of booting the Mac osx file and says type -v and enter to boot with the text telling me what's happening, type ? and enter to get advanced settings, and just enter to boot, so i boot, and then it restarts again. what do i do??? thanx for your support!
Is there any reason to use v1.0i as opposed to v7 or vice-versa? Just curious as to what would be best to try to install.
thanks,
Chase
Seemed to install fine, no error messages but when I go to boot it just hangs on a grey start screen with the apple logo in the middle. No error messages, just hangs. Any ideas? Installed ver 7 running on a dell optiplex 745

Hi, just one question. Will this run smoothly on a Pentium IV 1.8GHz and 512Mb RAM?
Thanks
Nope, not smoothly..
hey man i have amd x4 phenomena
asus m2n-mx se mother board
2 gb ram
250 hd
and os windows 7
can i run mac os x
Yes, but you have to download the iatkos with AMD Patch
hey man after i install iatkos v1 it restart it self but when it start to boot it only blink the underscore thing and thats all it does
i installed it and i think it installed correctly
but when it restarts after that it just keeps on restarting i dont know wht to do
Reinstall it.
If after reinstallation it keeps doing this, your PC is not compatible.
listen everyone… this version does NOT support AMD processors, that's why u're stuck on the gray screen! u have to download the iATKOS_v7, which u can find on mininova… that one supports all processors and everything, that is the main difference between these two version… i'm now running this one and I have an AMD Quad Core 9550… It works PERFECTLY! I hope I was helpful!
When I attempt to burn the ISO image to a DVD it is only like 300 KB. I checked the file I downloaded and it says it is 2.4GB. I'm not sure where the error is, or if there is an error but I need Help.
Thanks
no your good, its not supposed to be the full 2.4 gbs
Had the same problem myself last weekend with Roxio/Nero. I downloaded and installed InfraRecorder and used it to burn the ISO to disc. Amazingly, it burned all 2GB without a problem. Roxio didn't work. Who knew.
can i put this on my computer i have a
cpu: amd athlon x2
videocard: asus pcie rad eah4850 top 512 m bte
harddrive: 320gb
ram: ddr2 4 gb
Yes, seems to be good
Try it!
hi, well first thanks for a great option to all the persons that wants to change OS to leopard, now my question is if i can install leopard in my laptop HP pavilion dv4 is intel core 2 duo 2.0 ghz, 3 gb of ram, and the other question is if when leopard is already installed can we use “Boot Camp” to instal windows xp or windows vista on leopard, because even that we know that leopard is a lot better then windows, some programs can only be used on windows, ill be thankful if u clear the doubts that thanks
AMD Patch Released!
Just search for iATKOS and here will be the patched one
Downloaded the ISO, it only wrote 314K of the 2GB to the DVD, I have looked at the bottom of the DVD and it looks like barely anything is written to it. Using Roxio/Nero… Is there some other program I should use to write the ISO to the DVD?
You need a DVD with a bigger capacity…
Wow, that makes me feel like an idiot… 15 years in IT and I was a big, dumb idiot and bought 314K DVD discs. Didn't realize they made anything bigger than that. Wow… (/end sarcasm)
I wrote the ISO image to a blank 4.7GB DVD with Roxio, and just to make sure I didn't do something wrong I did it again. The Roxio SW only wrote 314K of the 2GB both times. Not sure why. Found my problem though, about 1 hour after my post. I downloaded and installed InfraRecorder and used it to burn the ISO to disc. Amazingly, it burned all 2GB without a problem. Roxio didn't work. Who knew.
wat a good option for PC user…hahhaha

Do you think it would be possible to run an older version of this hack in a netbook Atom 1.6GHZ with 2GB ram?

If i download this, will i have a choice between windows and leopard every time i boot or does it delete windows?
@Bobity Bob
You have to partition your HD.
Hey!! Can I install this on my PC and then install Snow Leopard normally or do I have to do all the things that they put on the other postsss!
hi
thanks for ur post
i instaleed mac OS but not able to boot from it
it gives me an error messge asking to insert cd again
but of no use
hey
if your laptop has a webcam (build in) it's going to work with things like photobooth?
can you please post direct links to downloads? i cant seen to find the exact files =P
will this work on a Intel Atom processor N270???
My issue is that when the screen to select the drive where OS will be installed
appears, the list is empty and there isn't any drive to select.
I have a FujitsuSiemens laptop xi 2428 with two partitions (C for the Vista OS and D
for data storage).
Any help o. This error? How to make my diskdrive visible at the installation of leopard?
Thank you in advance
GUUUUYS !!!!!
1) it DOES NOOOT work on AMD !!!!
2) STOOP using old hardware !!! i.e. P IV etc !!!
leopard is the counterpart to Vista so it stands to reason it needs gear on same level of development, same era, not something from pre-history i.e. PIV
and an ATOM is waay to weak to support something as complx and powerful as Leopard
linux yes, leopard deffinately no
sorry for the harsh tone, but some people just cant seem to pay attention and read properly
Can i run This On my Pc I have a:
Dell Inspiron 1525
Cpu: Pentium Dual Core CPU 2.00GHz
Ram: 3Gb
Video: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family 1Gb
hello ….
i have the following rig:
– processor: Intel Quad Core 6600 @ 2.40 Ghz ( 4 CPUs)
– mother-board: Assus Black Pearl Edition P5K Premium
– ram: 2GB DDR
– HDD: 1 TB
– graphics: ATI Radeon 3870 HD with 512 DDR3
———————————
1) would Leopard run smooth on this ? will it also be compatible with this rig ?
2) no offense for the article author…..i kinda find it hard to believe all i have to do is just burn an image then just boot off it !!!!!
i mean: C MON ! this is how xp itself is basicly installed !!!!!
reading other sites, i see one must also fiddle with BIOS, then start off 10.5.2, and then manually work his way upwards
and the procedures for upgrading off 10.5.2, arent exactly ,,one step''
( more like 4 – 5 difficult steps for each upgrade stage )
————————————————————-
can someone, who used the procedure in the article, tell me if it worked like it said ?
and please….other than just booting off image….what other settings you guys did ?
i get this error installing ,”you cannot install Mac osx on this Volume,the contents of this Volume cannot be chaged” it refers to my 2 HDD SATA ,why is this?
Hi, My screen freezes just after i hit -v and enter, after the MAC Framework successfully initialized message it is followed by
this other message ” Extension “com.apple.driver.APCI_SMC_PlatformPlugin” has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style ” and it freezes there. this same message appears more than once in the whole dialog screen. can you please help?

Hi just installed it but it don't have boot camp or ilife, where can i get them? And can you update the os and vill it work afterwards?
everybody is very stupid!!! fuck all!
Oh sorry i diden't mean boot camp i was thinking of parallel desktops and why it dosen't work on my Acer TravelMate 5310
I can only get to the part where it says SELECT DESTINATION, but no Harddrive appears, can anyone help? Thank you very much. I have a laptop btw.
did you even use disk utility? go to utility->disk utility and format into MAC OSX Journaled Extended
yea, i went into the disk utility, but no hard drive shows up there either,thx for the quick reply though, and plz answer back
I changed my BIOS setting for SATA from AHCI to Compatibility and then I could see the HardDrives.
looks like a good idea buu how would i go about doing that? I pressed f10 from boot, it took me into a not so full-featured bios, with no option to change from sata to ahci.
Go to utility, then disk utility. Select Drive to format, I think its extended Jounel or something like that. Format drive when complete exit- the little red dot in top left and you will see the drive. Click drive then go to continue- A customize tab appears go in there nd select your drivers. Then continue..Good hunting.
I have a different version havent tried this one yet. I loaded mine in a Gateway E-4500s. Pen 4 3.2mhz, 2gig Ram….
Okay, i have got through all the steps – agreed to the licence agreement, done all the stuff, clicked the hard drive i want it installed on, and then it varified or did somthing and now i have the apple logo and a frozen loading wheel on the screen… its been an hr, now what? a quick respond would help me and many others.. thankyou
This was very helpful!
do i need the mac osx 10.5 dvd or just the iso burn image dvd

Has there been an update for AMD processors yet?
Umm… I don't pretend to know the second thing about computers but i have an IBM thinkpad t41 and there's supposed to be a bunch of stuff the computer needs to have before it can work, what are those things?
Sorry for asking, but does this work on XP computers?
This is another operating system. for example XP is an operating system made my Microsoft. Macintosh leopard just happens to be a different one. You just need to see if your computer runs with a intell processor.
I installed very nicely but the issue is after restarting it, it still needs a bootable media. Can some one help with this. Thank you
Hey I've tried to install but it doesn't go further than the apple logo with the loading circle sceen. it just keeps loading ( i've let it run for about 2 hours but nothing happend) I'm shure my computer is fast enough. ( is it a problem if you have a quad core?) Could anyone please help me ?

It doesn't make it clear in the description whether you need the actual Leopard disk, if so do you need both the 10.5 disk and the 10.5.1 update or just the update?

I am trying to install it on my PC, but I keep getting a “Waiting on Root Device” message. And if I bypass the -v and go straight to the install, I see the loading screen but it has a No-go symbol above the apple. I mean like the No smoking smybol. Any ideas? Im gonna try to change the HDD settings and see if that works.
agreed this cant get any simpler
hey greetings to everyone, ive seen some problems here that i might have the answers: for example one of the hardware conditions to install the mac os on a pc is simple, it has to be a core 2 duo, some will say why? is just logical, is a mac os so is for macs computers, jus go to the apple web page and see the hardware configurations that the macs had and if u have a pc with those configurations u r good to go, this is so the mac os will install with no problem, the most important is the processor, if u r using, an intel atom or dual core or quad it might not work, i already install the mac os on my laptop hp dv4 with core 2 duo, 3 gb of ram, 320 gb of hd, intel graphics and works great, tomorrow will install on a desktop pc with core 2 duo 2.8ghz, 4 gb of ram, 500 gb of hd and intel graphics, some times just read all the article above and find the answers or check the comments and will find the answers, good luck to everyone

I have osx86 hardware compatible list harware dual core sse2 processor I will give it a try I have a new copy of 10.5.6 Mac OS will that work with IATKOS_5i? I hope you can tell me before I get started
Thanks
This just borked everything. OS X didn't completely install and now Windows 7 won't boot either. I'm off to reinstall now. :/
in regards to windows 7 not working anymore, i had a similar issue with vista, to fix this i simply put in my vista install disc, went to repair computer and opened my command prompt. after which i typed diskpart, list disk, select disk 0, list part, select part 2(in your case, whichever partition you have vista/7 installed on), active. that should set your primary partition back to the one with your vista/7 bootloader on it. as i used a different tutorial in the first place, i cannot garantee this solution will work for you, but as your pc may have gone to crap, its worth a try
haha

Please help me.
I downloaded the torrent at mininova and when it finished it showed up as: a website, something else, and 22 winrar files. so i put them onto a DVD-R and reboot my computer but i dont know how to boot from BIOS. I've looked at many websites but they all are doing something that it seems mine cant do! I am so confused. Every time i boot up my computer and i hit F2, it comes up with some kind of setup page, NOT BIOS setup. If someone can please help me, I will be eternally grateful. I didnt find a BIOS thingy, but i did boot my computer from my CD drive and still nothing. Idk what im doing wrong.
Select all that 22 files and Un rar that 22 files into a folder then it becomes one ISO image file then burn that file into a DVD and boot thats all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hv nice day !!!!!!!! enjoy
If you don't know what to do with rar files, your a newb and shouldn't be allowed to to touch anyones pc.
Your joking right?
your right ryan
this is the funnyest thing i have heard in ages!!
I downloaded the iso, got it booted up on my desktop properly, it had finished checking everything and was installing, and then my screen went black. like, i'm not really good with technical jargon, but when the computer is turned off and the monitor is still on, the power light goes from green to yellow. and it's doing that. the computer is still running, the disk is still whirring, and i can only assume it's still installing, but i don't know what happened with my monitor. it was going fine and everything, and then all of a sudden black… please help ASAP!!!
never mind it came back on
After the install all I get is a white blinking cursor in the top left corner of the screen, the computer won't boot. Any idea how to fix this?

Ya, if it works at all then it should work on a dual core. If anything, it may only work on one core, but that shouldn't be a problem

Hi,
Does this work with Virtualbox?
Best regards – Jon
i do everything and i boot from dvd-rom and im at a black screen where it asks me how i would like to boot the dvd. i select to boot with no options, just the dvd. and my pc restarts. i then select to boot with “v-” and my pc restarts again. is there anything to do to get past this?
can u boot back to vista after ur done installing?
i sometimes need to use vista
and when u boot to mac is it virus protected?
ANY tips will help thank you
install osx on a seperate disk and choose the disk u want to boot in the bios, thats the best and safest way
So you have to manually enter BIOS and choose your boot drive each time you need to use the other OS?
I mean, it doesn't show an option to select which operating system you want to load?
no, you would have to install a custom boot loader for that, the way i suggested is the simplest way with the least hassle.
Ok, to start, i am most deff not a newb when it comes to tech, of all kinds.
though, im completely new to the OS X scene, and am looking to experience something new.
now first i would like to know if this is possible with my current setup, before i make another unseccessful attempt.
I'm currently running an Emachine, w5243 to be exact.
- NVIDIA nForce 405 motherboard/Integrated 6100 NVIDIA graphics
- AMD Athlon 64 3800+ processor, 2.41
- An ATI Radeon 4870 HD graphics card, Dual fans and all that.
-250 GB HDD
- UltraMulti Format DVD-R/W Drive.
Currently installed OS is Vista:Home Premium sp2.
basically im looking for someone to first, confirm this is compatible, and second perhaps troubleshoot with me, as i have already partly entered the install process once, and was met with a blank light blue screen with nothin but a spinning wheel for a mouse pointer.
i'll be checking back quite frequently for answers, so all help is greatly appreciated

i want to run the Mac OSX snow leopard on my pc, and what is the snow leopard patched iso called? could you detail on spec of the pc in which compatible to install it?
When I try to install from BIOS it starts loading then my PC restarts and the process happens over and over
If anyone can please help me, i have installed everything and mac osx works well, everything seems to work. ONE PROBLEM- internet will not connect. my wireles will not work and even when i plug an etherent cable in, it just wont recognize it. ive gone into network diognostics multiple times and followed the steps. when i open network diagnostics, you have 4 options, ETHERENT, EXTERNAL MODEM, AIRPORT, OTHER. the only option it will let me choose is other…. any suggestions?
buy a lan/wireless card that is recognised by the mac software. Not all pc cards are identified, or maybe try getting drivers for the ones you already have.
This Really doesnt seem to work on a pc, I downloaded the cd and installed it successfully on a 3rd hardrive of its own and followed your directions exacly but it will not boot to Leopard all it wants to do is go straight to the boot cd and start all over again, F8 doesnt make any difference, neither does -s in command window, Im running windows 7 on dual core 2 but Im installing leopard to a harddrive of its own and it still doesnt work? even setting bios to the harddrive leopard is on doesnt achieve anything, it only looks for the Dawin boot cd or iATKOS and even though successfuly installed will not oot to OS X, seems a waist of time after 4 attemps.
I've burned iAtkos to the disc and when i try to boot from bios it does not work it just keeps saying retry and doesn't boot up. I'm running Windows 7 ultimate with with an intel duo core 2 duo processor. Any help?
Will this work if I try to install it on a PC that currently has NO other OS?
(ps. Yes, I am a complete newb)
I have a problem,i start the install and all,but i it can't find any hard drives or partitions.
When it asks where to install Leopard,i don't have anything.
Thats because you need to go to the utilities menu and format a partition with the mac system before you install
No,you don't understand me.I tried to go to the disk utility,and it didn't find anything there.Then I went to the system specs utility,and under Serial-ATA devices,it said:No Serial-ATA devices found.
in your bios set your sata to ide mode if its not in that mode already, more than likely that the osx isnt picking up your sata card.
you have to set your SATA as configured to AHCI
what are the system requirements for this to work?

i tried to burn it with nero and magic iso and i got an error
I am getting kernel panic. any suggestions?
ok so i have tried to burn the iso a few times and now finally, no more kernel panics.
the second dilemma i have now is that my HDD is not found in disk utilities or anywhere as i try to install osx. i partitioned my second HDD using xp as FAT32 primary partition and still no success. please help me out.
How good does this os x work?
Hi,
every time I try to install (I press -v), it stops at the following lines:
MAC Framework successfully initialized
using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers
Extension “com.apple.driver.ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin” has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style.
What shall I do? Any way to get past this?
Thanks for your help in advance
Can you put a little bit more detail on what your CPU needs to install, meaning put what you mean????

i hope this help
When I went to install this it wanted me clear a partition. Whats the best way to set a new partition without deleting the existing windows partition? And does it need to be formated differently than a windows partition?
My desktop CPU is just intel pentium 4 (2.8), can I install mac os? and which version would be compatible for my desktop?
I tried to boot it from the bios but the screen just went black and blank and then after around 30-45 seconds it started windows. help would be apreciated.
in order to boot from a cd you have to get into your bios try esc, f2, f5, f8, and f12. you have to find out which one it is and hit it as soon as the computer gets turned on.
you can email me at zsgittins@earthlink.net
How do you know if you computer has these?:
* Non Core Intel Processors, no PC-EFI for you.
* Core Based Processors, for PC-EFI to work.
* AMD processors are not supported at this time.
Go to your bios and see the processor info.
When i boot from the Disk i get an error saying something like this
System config file “/com.Apple.boot.plist” not found
hi, i did everything up there and the install went fine, no problem there. After the instal it reboots, normal, and then it starts up and i take the dvd away to let it boot off of the partition. BUT it starts the apple logo w/ rotating wheel, then stops and tells me i need to reboot, ive done this a couple times already and i would really aprreciate help
same advice for you, do not let it boot by itself, while booting press F8, type -v then ENTER, similarly when installation completes and yr system reboots, press F8, select the hard drive you created for yr mac, type -s then ENTER…….
I can't find the iATKOS v1.0i on mininova. Would you send me another mirror to download it? The search results I found on Google weren't useful.
Write a mail to yjaekle@gmail.com
i gonna uplaod it to rapidshare
Google is your friend!!!
ok, i'm doing this on a toshiba laptop with dual intel processors…
i got the install all done, it starts up, no problem just like when you first get a mac out of the box…
so i get all those welcome messages when it first starts for the first 2 times i turned it on
but, after those it said there was no keyboard attached and mouse pad wouldn't respond either
i got an old usb mouse and keyboard and now i don't get the video to display anymore.. dosn't matter if i have the new keyboard and mouse plugged in or not.. same problem either way
it will display video all the way up until the welcome words would flash on.. i get the startup screen with the lizard, i get the white screen with apple symbol, then nothing now all i get is sound from there on
I'm not surprised that this wont work with laptops as they usually need some sort of driver which has probably been erased(i think it was something like that), you'd be best trying this with a box and a plug-in and play keyboard+mouse. I suppose you could get a apple monitor and apple peripherals so that that you've got the whole charade, cover up the box and say you've got a mac pro.
Hello I have made the disk i boot it and it starts loading the kernel an aplle logo flashes and then my pc restarts. Any help would be appreciated!
do not let it boot by itself, while booting press F8, type -v then ENTER, similarly when installation completes and yr system reboots, press F8, select the hard drive you created for yr mac, type -s then ENTER…….

If you are trying to do this in VMWare and getting the Virtual Machine Failure heres what ya need to do/check…
Boot into your PC's BIOS and look for an option that will be something like “Enable Virtual Machine”. You net to enable this in your BIOS for VMWare to run the supplied install.
Hope that helps

Help! I don't see any hard drive to select to install Mac in
Is it possible to install it using VMWare?
Hellooo….
Does anyone know if it can be installed in VMWare?
And also I searched thepiratebay for iATKOS, and found a lot of versions of the patched MacOS DVD.
So which one is best?
Is iATKOS_v7 the most recent version?
Does anyone know if it can be installed on Laptop with intel core duo, and sata drive with AHCI enabled?
thanks in advnace
No it won't work on the laptop because it has a core based processor
Is there and AMD patch??
This might help a lot of your guys. There are updated releases and AMD patches available.
Hi,
First, thanks for you post, is there a newer one about it?
Second, you said “Non Core Intel Processors”, I have a double core intel processor, will it work for me?
Thanks
nope it won't work
Does Anyone Know If It Will Work With Windows 7?
It doesn't matter what OS you have, you're installing another OS so it'll work…
when i boot it theres no destination for me to install to. any way i can fix this?
Click on Utilities, then click on Disk Utilities, then select your hard drive, click erase, then in the drop down menu select MacOS X format (extended), click Erase and wait for it to complete, then close it and your hdd should be displayed in the destination step of the installation.

So im assuming this erases all of the data on your computer? This will be such a fun day of backing up all of my files.
The link for leopard on mininova does not have the download. Please fix the link or give the exact name for the file and how many gb's so we can download the right one because some don't work. Thank you
iATKOS v1.0i – it says it in the steps. I agree it was dumb to put it after, but you should still read the whole page.

Installs MacOS X perfectly, then it just keeps asking ou to reboot the computer and don't even boot into MacOS X.
When I run BIOS it asks me if I want to install Mac OS but then I loads quickly and the screen is white with the Apple logo and the computer shut down 2-3 seconds after. This happens everytime I try to do it. Can someone please help me?
hardware is not supported with the install
Hi Guys,
I do not have an optical drive. is there any way to boot the ISO without using a DVD???
Cheers
Yeah, search for unetbootin-eeeubuntu-windows-276. It's a free utility that lets you turn your pen drive into a bootable install dvd with just one click. All you need is the iso
Don't bother with doing this, it don't work, honestly…
To everyone having problems, it doesn't work if your processor has any cores (single, duo, or quad) .
This is really only for older machines with older intel chips it seems

This worked on my laptop with iATKOS v7. In the comments people are saying it wont work with core processors, but I gave it a go. I have a Vaio VGN-FE41s 1.6ghz core2duo. When it installed and rebooted, I removed the DVD. Then it froze on the apple logo, and I just saw the progress indicator. After resetting and trying it again a few times it worked.
It picked up the sound card, but I had to use external keyboard and mouse. I still need to configure graphics card and wireless, but Im sure the forums have the answer.
will this work on a machine woth intel pentium 4 processor please reply thanks
i also have a pentium 4 processor and i would like to know, and also if you can dual boot windows 7+mac os after installing this

where to get download
Try searching for iatkos v1.0i (or how it is called) in google
It seems that it doesn't work for me:(
i have a asus with a pentium dual core cpu t4400 at 2.2ghz will this work for me? just wanted to ask before i try and mess up my pc
It should work with that ,but i don't know your RAM and Graphics card
can i install mac os in windows 7 using this mathod
Is it possible to mount on virtual drive and installl it?
Don't know if you can install it ,but you can definality open it ,because its an ISO file type ,what the main point of virtual drive's is
After booting from DVD, I hit enter. It then asks me to reboot the pc by pressing and holding the restart button. And then nothing! Just boots back into my ubuntu
You probably need to install a boot loader for the two of them. I think there are multiple dual-boot Ubuntu/OSX guides out there, and even if they're written for the Mac side of things, they should work okay.
i think he said earlier there was a different method for dual-boot. follow that link. otherwise, you can always just scrap the leopard install and reinstall windows if its not working for you.
all i get is an apple screen with a loading wheel for days if anything is touched the computer doesnt do anything ever again
I get the same as well. It's about 5 minutes now.
The same thing too !
I have read almost all of the comments (whew!) and the question I have had been asked, but I didn't see an answer. So, I will give it a shot:
Can you run this on a blank HDD that has no O/S on it at all? So that I have a Windows based PC (without any O/S), but it would be running OSX?
If there is no OS on the Hard Drive and your attemt to load the OS X fails what have you lost? Just wipe and reformat the drive. Download and save a copy of the current bios for the hardware setup of your computer so if the OS X fails you can easily get back to the appropriate bios version and use the system as intended, if you want. I'm about to do the same thing. Because my computer hardware configuration is almost certaily different than yours, my results are likely not going to be meaningful; for your setup. It seems you have nothing to lose by making the attempt.
yes, there is a separate tutorial to dual boot with windows. so obviously this tutorial is made to make this your only OS
i think so ,if you think 'bout it. There is no point having another OS ,since its a fully functioning Operating System on itself.
i seriously gotta know man.! is this workinn ??? i have a vaio vgn vr353 core2duo 2046 mb ram 2.1 ghz!
please reply as soon as possible!
Can I install this to a blank external HDD where I can set BIOS to boot from external HDD. If so how?
I don't think so, as it won't read your USB external HDD it will only read the internal hard drives. But you could add the iso to your blank external, and then with the external unlplugged, open it up and unplug the HDD inside (first though you will need to change your BIOS to read HDD, because your new HDD obviously won't have Windows on it to boot past or even to get you to the BIOS) then turn off your pc and unplug the HDD inside and switch them out, remembering which one is which. Then reboot your computer and hope that your computer is able to read it. If not, all you have to do is switch the HDDs back out and change your BIOS back to what it was at first. Otherwise you'll just need to find a computer where you burn the file to if you don't have a DVD Burner.
HI i can`t find the iso image ??
Open the RAR file ,or whatever it was ,then extract it to your hard-drive. Then use Nero ,or other burning program..
U need additional software to open RAR files ,try Winrar.
what do i have to type in BIOS??
For booting the DVD? IF your Computer logo appears before windows startup ,there is mostly some line with something like this:
F(1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12) For boot options (or something like that ,make sure ''boot'' is called in it ,or something likely to that
u need A restore dvd

I expect your answers with great interest and thank you very much!
Good luck and days full of achievements!
Why we're not getting any answers from you?
Hi. This is the first time I do this so I'm a little afraid about it because is our main computer in my house so before try to change the OS I'd like to know if this is possible to run in a VAIO PCV-RS50M (yes, I know is an old one). In the front has a Intel pentium 4 stick and another says is designer for Windows XP.
My PC is VAIO PCV-RS50M Windows XP SP2, 80 GB in HD, 760 MB RAM, 3.00 GHz
Upgrade your ram
…I guess you mean 760 gb hard drive, right?…
Nice but on miniova have not iATKOS
Don't waste your time with trying to cram any mac os on a working pc. If you're tired of windows try an easier to install version of a linux based os. I suggest ubuntu. You'll be happier in the end.
just install leohazard mac os x 10.6, but can't boot that os from hdd
tired of windows, use vmware to mmake your pc works with snow leopard
Noyhing happen in Asus P%KPL-AM Motherboard And Dual core PC

There is a separate tutorial to dual boot with windows. so obviously this tutorial is made to make this your only OS
everything works ok , except when i get to the where would you like to install screen there are no choices and the options and continue buttons are grayed out
has this worked for ANYONE ? and where can i download iATKOS v1.0i that's SAFE !! i can't afford to get a virus…
I did not install it yet but if it is not working, what will happen to our pc? can it back to normal or….?
nope
its best if you use another hard drive for the installation
I could say do it on your own risk. Just always create backup if you are not sure on a file that you want to install.
Will it work on netbook ? Dell Mini 10v ?
He said something about a AMD??? i have a hp g42 Laptop and has AMD
first sorry for my english, because i'm from Portugal.
i have a hp pavilion dv7, with a intel i7.

yes this will work because and i7 is a core based intel processor
I would like to recommend to everyone. Registry cleaner for fix registry errors in windows operating system. This registry cleaner would really be helpful for those who are using a windows operating system.
I have 1TB HDD Core 2 Processor and 4GB of 1066DDR3 can I install this?
i have a single core pentium will this work?
yes it is still core based
I really appreciate your step by step guide.
hp pavillion dv7 windows 7 64-bit….nothing happens….please help me ,i spent my whole weekend
what processor are you using? it has to be atleast single core pentium and be your ONLY OS means you cant dual boot with this method
Thank you so very much for taking the time to share…very useful, indeed!

I think that it will help me for protecting my pc.
Thanks for this blog.
try tpb .. and don’t be so lazy…
Tried installing alongside Windows 7, did a partition and everything. However, screen gets stuck after using -v. Says there is an invalid frame pointer 0. It stops after showing the Kernel version. Using an HP Envy 17, i7 QQ, 8GB DDR3 RAM.
All of you with the installation problems—-word of advise for you—-DO NOT waste your time if you don’t have the hardware that is required for the installation. Now, one of you may ask “what is the required hardware configurations for the installation” —well, it varies—
If you guys really want to experience the snow leopard, go with the VMWARE…or buy a new Mac
I know this thread is old but is it possible to do this with OSX Lion?
Also if it is, can my laptop’s (Dell Inspiron 15R) trackpad support multitouch?
Lastly if all those other things are possible, would my computer essentially be a Macbook and be able to receive updates from apple as such?
it gives me error in the beginning of the setup and ask me to restart the pc
��
��@shassam��You need a second partition on your hard drive that’s big enough for the OS. Well, that’s what appeared to be my problem, at least…
