Samsung NC10 UK revision, Updates / Installation / Modding etc, stuff will be here Options

[jdenbrok]

I have tried all the obvious fixes, even if they're actually meant to fix other problems. Recovery with F4 does nothing, wiping the partition and reinstalling does nothing. If I set the VISTA (not XP, guys) partition back to active, it boots with no problems. Also I think (but am not sure) that Vista doesn't have a boot.ini anymore.

I'm kinda stumped here. Anyone multibooting OSx86 with Vista or W7 around here? Cause I don't know if it's an NC10 issue, or something general.

You do need the vista (if you dont have xp) as active, or you can put the osx as active. At least you need an active partition and that is probably the reason for your boot1 problem. If you have vista and you do not get the bootoption for osx automatically use easybdf 2.0, it sets up a mac osx bootoption under vista very easily. I have one multiboot with w7, osx and xp.

@ beyondthetech: Yes the time is off, in my case only by one hour (do you have your time zones set right). It is already discussed and Mysticus explained that it is due to how osx and xp read the computer time in a different way. The syncing is the only fix this far.

Hey, I've been reading most of these post (not all of them, 71 pages are somewhat of a big read) and U guys have really made some cool progress. I'll be grabbing me a NC10 this summer (after high school graduation, before I go to college) and am planning on using OSx86 on it, the Mysticus C* version ofcourse.(I'm downloading from Shragle as I write. On usenet I ran into the next program, or driver more to say: NTFS for Mac. Would such a program be useful and most importantly usable on OSx86? I can upload the .DMG to shragle or rapidshare if u want.

Great job so far, keep it up!

Hi, I have just received a DELL 1490 wireless card. I took the machine apart, installed it exactly as existing card was and... nothing. Windows doesnt find any new hardware and the little 'fn-F9' icon blue light is never on the front of the machine. I have tried moving the 2 (aerial?) cable, but nothing. Windows thinks I have no wireless card at all. Is it dead?

you have to install it manually!

by selecting location/driver yourself!

another way would be, right clicking on the inf (driver info) and clicking INSTALL on right click menu...

Hello everyone!

First i'd like to thanx every members for this thread.
I'm a brand new owner of a NC10 and i'd love to install osx on it, unfortunatly i don't find anywhere where to get the 10.5.6 version mysticus did. I even looked at usenet and impossible to find it. If anybody could help me that would be great.

Thanx again.

I installed it on my NC10...
- NTFS-3G for MacOSX: http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
- MacFUSE for MacOSX: http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/
It's working fine so far.

Good luck, but it's very likely that in the meantime there will be a better OSX86 netbook available ;-)

I also have a Broadcom Wireless Mini PCI-E Card DELL DW 1490.
In MacOSX it's automatically detected, while Win XP has been able to find and download the right driver in the list of Windows driver compatibility list: I didn't have to select the driver by myself, but just launch the 'Hardware' control panel (or whatever Windows calls it...).
Bye!

I have a standard Mysticus NC10 notebook with Mac0s and XP. I want to try the new Windows 7 beta. I am going to back up my XP with Acronis so I can restore it later. Would reformating the XP partition and installing Win 7 mess up the ability to boot into Mac? Or what should I do to keep it working?

Does anyone know of a backup utility that can make a complete image of the NC10 with all the partitions, including the Mac ones? It would be nice to be able to do bare metal restore if something goes wrong.

I'm pretty sure that it would mess up your booting, since xp and windows 7/vista use different bootloaders.

try "hirens boot cd", run it from a usb stick, choose "mini xp version", and thereafter "ghost32", it can create images of disks, partitons etc.

What if I want to throw Ubuntu into the mix, how would I do that?
(I'm finally getting my NC10 tomorrow! )

Mysticus, you should really ad my demonoid link to your first post.

Has anyone with the Dell 1505 wifi card tried to connect to a Time Capsule (which I think uses the same wireless N as any newer airport router) on a N network (i.e. not G connection to the time capsule)? I recently tried the wireless N on a MSI Wind (via Windows) and it could not connect to my time capsule so I guess N is very much still a draft...

Just a FYI - iLife09 (retail) was installed successfully to my NC10 10.5.6. No obvious issues, looks great!

Mysticus, you should really ad my demonoid link to your first post.

I do agree...

Only 6 seeders and 6 leechers at this time...

Thanks anyway for all this work and for the demonoid torrent file.

I'm waiting for my 1390 wifi card to begin with the install...

Any news about full sound support?
What about the webcam? is it fully working?

Hello to all,

Does anybody know if the laptop goes to sleep if I close the lid? It goes to sleep if I press "fn ESC" but not when I close the lid.

I hope somebody can help me.

I would like to thank  Mysticus C* for thios fantastic version of OSX.

All the best
