Thanks to JoshMs83 I have been fascinated by the Apple's Mac OS ever since I got to know about it. And when I came to know that I could install it on my laptop, I was delighted. I have been successfull in installing various versions from days of OS X 10.4 [Tiger]. Lately I thought of installing 10.5.6 and upgrading it to 10.5.7 on the same old XPS m1210 which I bought in November 2006. My previous posts. Leopard 10.5.1 [Kalyway] on my XPS1210 My Dell o MAC Mac OSX + XP dual boot Following is a log of what I did and what all errors I encounterd. I have not created any of the files I used. I have just collected information and resources from the web and the major source of information being these two links on www.insanelymac.com http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=41775 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=97966 My XPS's current config CPU - T5750 1.83 Ghz RAM - 1 x 512 MB & 1x 2048 MB HDD - Seagate 320 GB GPU - Nvidia 7400 go Wireless - Dell 1390 [salvaged from Dell latitude] Sigmatel 9221 audio What is working and what is not Dual Cores (No need for cpus=1) GeForce 7400 QE/QI Enabled, Hardware Acceleration, Internal + External (Dual) Display Sigmatel 9221 Audio Internal Microphone Full Bluetooth Support Full USB Support Full Firewire Support Full Airport Wireless Support Full Laptop/Battery Support Full Intel Speedstep Support 5-in-1 Card Reader Support System will properly Sleep / Wake.

[ the iso can be downloaded of well known places ] Get to the boot menu and -v and boot. You will get the initial screen. I already had 10.5.2 running on it so i decided to erase that same partition and install on it. Then customized the install by following selections : Patches Chipset ICHx Fixed Network / Ethernet AppleBC440x Fix cpus=1 fix BatterManager Video / NVidia NVKush Apps - ASU - BetterZip - OSx86 Tools - Transmission Then continue to install. I installation checks for the disk errors [ i skipped disk check ]. Wait for 15 minutes or so to finish installation. On reboot i got the following error Boot0:MBR Boot0:error I had grub as my boot loader so I followed the instruction over here to resolve the issue and add Mac Os to boot loader. Once its fixed I have the triple boot…. The above link can be used to add XP entry too in Grub.
