thanx for the link, but u should not have posted in public...

also you messed up the process as well, bcoz people will have to redownload everything, bcoz nothing will match to the original torrent either (people who were downloading the original torrrent which is cut off will be gone forever....) only people who downloaded and finished can join the seed wagon...

all this trouble to avoid investing 4,50 Euro for a machine that costs around 100 times more...

The torrent got taken down because archives with passwords are not permitted on demonoid.
"No passworded archives."-http://www.demonoid.com/faq.php"
I believe this is the best way to seed the file though.

If you like, I can seed in public as well, give me a minute, I will upload it there.
After some consideration, I have decided not to upload it to a public trakcer. Demonoid is very easy to get into. I believe people are more likely to seed back on demonoid then on THP or some other publi tracker. This is not something with a very high demand so I believe it is important people keep seeding. If someone disagrees with me feel free to upload the file to a public tracker if you want too.

I have a high upload rate, but am currently seeding around 600 transfers, so i will be uploading only at around ~70kb/s

Well I dont know if demonoid is a good idea either. I have the iso and would wanna upload, but at demonoid it sais "The registrations are closed" so I cant get to your side and probably also other people without an account on demonoid yet can get to the new torrent. This torrent is just for the selected group that is already member of demonoid and didnt download the torrent already when it was up before.

Good point. I assumed any tech-savvy person would have a demonoid account.
There's pros and cons.
Though I will invite anyone who wants to help seed to demonoid.

Here are 4 invitation codes, if you need more, please request.
I CAN NO LONGER GENERATE INVITATION CODES AT THE MOMENT

If you use this invite, please state what code you used so i may remove it/add a new one
Please, only use these invitations to help seed this torrent!
If you would like a demonoid account to download the torrent or just to have an account, PM me, I will be glad to hook you up with one.
Again, these invites are only for those who want to help seed.

There are currently about 25 people leeching it and I am the only seeder. If you have the ISO, please help me seed it.

[Marijnr]

Seems all codes are used already... I'd like to seed it, I'm on a fast 100Mbit connection...

/edit: Thanks freQk, happily seeding now

[palomu]

can you send me a pm witha an invitation code? thanks

I really messed up my system. I installed windows 7 over my system with xp and osx, 7 and xp ran fine, but I couldnt run osx anymore. When i choose the osx option there was a problem, it couldnt find the data. I figured that i better reinstall osx. However after formatting the osx partitions (in the osx installation) I realized that my partition with data was not in the list (I have one more NTFS partition with my movies etc), last time I installed osx this partition also had disappeared. I thought that I could maybe still save something and stopped the install. And thats the end. My NC10 does not load because the operating system is missing. I made a usb bootdisk, but all drives are invalid.

Should I reinstall everything? I can make a usb disk with xp and start that process. But I hoped that maybe somebody could help. If I can make a bootdisk usb that just starts the installation of osx again then I should be fine again (without my data partition), right?

If this already came up, I am really sorry. I read through the last 15 pages and some of the beginning pages also a while ago. Maybe my problem is already kinda off topic, but if anyone can help he will be on this forum. And at least it can be a warning for all N00bs like me to not stop the installation.

I used the latest jas from shraggle. Did everything for the reinstall following the guide upto the "licence agreement" except for some minor changes in partitioning settings.

Maybe this helps: I had a similar problem with an external harddrive, after installing W7 i couldn't locate it anymore. For some strange reason my drive letter was gone. With a partition manager i could see the partition, so i reassigned a drive letter. After that everything was ok.
But i have another problem, i downloaded the image (NC10_JaS.OSx86.10.5.6.Intel.SSE2.SSE3_Mysticus.iso) from 2 different locations and i checked the MD5 checksum. Both images appear to be the same but the checksum is wrong:
It should be:
766E0A44E0E55CCCCB4942DBD3FC3D87
but my images gave me this:
8DF704D7A51E812CE1B27857D63831CD
So is it possible there's a corrupted image floating around... ?

I've reinstalled the 10.5.6 installer (did not wipe first) updated the patches and find that brightness is still freezing ... ahh!! Also Keychain won't launch which is where I was hoping to kill any reference to the brightness password being saved from a previous round.

That should work. I have a ubuntu live usb stick and use gparted with that. Everything seems to still be there exactly as it was. But I dont see an option to reassign a drive letter. I can only format the drives. Could you tell me how to assign the drive letters without formatting?

I did it with a partition manager running in XP, but it seems you can't access any of the OS'es The only way i can figure out is to remove the drive and attach it to another pc. But that means you have to remove the cover of the NC10...
Or just install XP again on the same partition it's sitting now, don't know for sure which way is quicker...

Pressing F4 at boot worked for me. Could start my system again. Kinda sad I didnt try this before. My data partition is still gone though. Will use partitionmanager then, but I wonder if this will work. The space is "unallocated". I dont know what is the reason, but that also happened when I installed osx first time. Maybe worth a warning. It was a primary umts partition of about 80gb at the end of the disk with just data.

Just for clarification, so I dont look retarded. I deleted the samsung recovery software, but F4 still helped for this part.

[iXXn]

@jdenbrok:

If the partition(s) used to work and for some reason some of them now show up as unallocated space, your partition table might be messed up. You might wanna check this, there are numerous freeware programs which you can put on a stick or burn to disk and boot, to examine and to repair your partition table. Maybe that helps.

Cheers,

Ok this is the third image i downloaded and they all have the same (wrong!) md5 checksum:
if i'm correct it should be this:
766E0A44E0E55CCCCB4942DBD3FC3D87
but the checksum from the green devil image is this:
8DF704D7A51E812CE1B27857D63831CD
edit: the checksum is correct, so now i have 3 images

what program do you use to check md5?

in windows i suggest "AccuHash" bcoz many md5 calculators using old algorithms hence calculating wrong md5!

jdenbrok: i mentioned the f4 boot, in the pdf guide, and first post as well! noone seems to read things throughly...

A full Zero format reinstall later and this is all working! Kind of a pain clearly as there was no resolution without such a drastic option, but at least things re-install pretty quickly.

Once more - great work on this iso / patch process Mysticus C! My NC10 is rocking the hackintosh!

[NSCXP2005]

Does anybody know if OSX Retail can be installed on the Samsung NC10 with everything working?

I would like to know, Would I be best buying this or the Advent 4211?

[freQk]

I will not post any more demonoid invitation codes here. I have none left but thankfully my girlfriend was so kind as to give me some of hers.
Please PM me for invites and tell me if you intend on seeding or leeching. If you don't, the PM will be ignored.

I am sorry, you are right. Didnt realize my problem is the same as it sais "after installation". Sorry, will try to read even more carefull further. Do you also have an explanation for my data ntfs partition being lost when installing osx? Happened twice. Will try to fix my partitiontable tonight. Couldnt do it yesterday as my girlfriend thought I was already messing up enough.

FreQk, thanks for the invite.

partition table should not be effected! if you didnt use a partion manager program to finger around! I did this on my system several times with so many partitions, and didnt see any of them being effected! The only possible explanation is your partion manager screwed it up for you...

atmasphere: i told you, you screwed up things yourself somehow, clean install was the only solution and as you see it worked!

nscx: yes retail install is possible, and you will need to make either a efi partition for boot and extensions, or somehow create a partition with a special efi folder in it with extensions in order to install retail. Either one requires your own manual process and care, in my current process I dont support it, but in the future release i m planning to implement that solutin, for safer updates and etc... Previously i didnt use the method due to many people had so different mixed systems, and lack of knowledge and experience on the process both on my side and on newbies. It is pretty easy process, but there are still some small glitches to overcome, and once done, i will incorporate the full retail install process (with efi folder or partion)
