Hey all if it wouldnt be too hard, id like some assistance.

 

I've spent a good couple weeks trying to install uphuck's 10.4.9 v 1.3 dvd on to my Acer (OEM), and i get issue after issue. wont go into it (here) though.

 

now ive tried to install tiger on a separate partition through vmware. as far as i know [ill check tonite] iv enabled the persistant changes, but it ain't right

 

see, im trying to install it to a primary partition sized around 63 Gigs, but in the disk utility, it says the disk is 128 gigs, and partitioned as such:

 

first- around 9.8 gigs

second- around 118 gigs

 

i cant install tiger, cause i cant format either partition or drive

how can i get vmware to properly use that partition?

 

im using vmware ace workstation version 6.0.2

 

any input?

 

and if its any help, heres how my drive is partitioned:

 

1. 10 gig Acer OEM recovery partition
   
2. 185 gig Primary Vista partition (ntfs)
   
3. 39 gig Logical partition for Ubuntu (36 ext[2 or 3]), (3 for swap)
   
4. 63 gig empty Primary partition. (current format fat32, able to format differently using GParted)
   
   

 

if I missed anything please point it out.

Hi I'm trying to install Kalyway's OSX 10.4.10 throught VMware. I can boot to installer, but when I go to Disk Utility and try to format/partition my hard drive I get a VMware error. What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks

Got stuck in dmos: starting... line. Any idea?

 

I tried installing natively at first, but it gave me the /com.apple.boot.plist not found error. I thought using VMware could be the solution. But no. Somebody please help Thanks!

In the VMware darwin loader i get the same com.apple not found error.. what to do?

Well I finally got uphucks version working 100% natively. Toshiba satellite p205. What I did was make the partition in windows, burn the DVD, boot off of it, format the partition using macs disk utility, and Install!!!! MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT PATCHES!!!!!!!! Went very easy after getting rid of vmware. Just install it native without using vmware. Makes life a lot easier. Using Uphuck 10.4.9 v1.4i R2. Worked exellent! Just make sure your system is 100% compatible

When ever I try to install, I gets past the black sreen where I used to get the "still waiting for root device" error, then it goes to a blank grey screen with a black cursor and just hangs there forever. What should I do?

Hi,

 

I am using VMWare and trying to install Jas Leopard.v10.5.4.

 

Edit: I think I had a problem with the hard disk.When I set up the hard disk I can choose between PhysicalDrive0 and PhysicalDrive1. What is the right one to choose?

I connected the external harddrive over usb

I don't want to crash my computer

[BapeLoe]

Thanks man, this guide may really help me out, cuz i've encountering so many problems, my computer has been recovered for several times due to the failed boot and blue screen. And i'm so bothered, i gon try your clean install way to install leopard, hope it could really work. Thank you!

[BapeLoe]

I don't know why when i was trying to erase the harddrive into the MacOSX extended(Journared) format, a msg pop up said PhysicalDrive Fail and only thing i could do is to abort. Any solution? I can't format the HD...
