Jaffa Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Format the disk you want to install Leopard to I have formatted it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullOut Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Exact. I think this should look like this, right? Yeap, but your second partition it is not an afs or hfs+ partition, frei partition need to be on left painel, under macintosh hd partition. When I try to erase the HD on this screen I get the message that the data on the whole HD (including data on Volume 1 Macintosh HD) will be lost. Because your 2nd partition its not recognized, to tiger u have only one partition. With linux fdisk u can change type "AF", apples partition type. Maybe I just try it tomorrow. I have recent updates of my home dir, so there would be no big loss. Would take a while to recover all apps and my music, which is not located in my user directory. But I would prefer a solution without screwing up my HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofo-X Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Greetings, No the problem is that most of your external or internal drivers are set to the Mac partition types. In DiskUtility hit options and set it to GTK so you can boot on an intel mac and then partition. Regards, mx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerror Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I have the same issue as Jaffa had. Formatted my external hard drive Mac OS Extended (journaled) but it won't let me install it because it says that I can't boot from it. Jaffa or anyone else, do you know what the problem can be?

KnicKnack Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hey there. If you're having problems with the no-DVD install where none of your disks can be installed to (it says OS/X can't boot off this device, or something like that), it means that your external drive is on USB. That won't work. Only external firewire drives can be installed to. Good Luck, Knick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodniece Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 I tried at least 3 times, but I get allways stucked in the Post-Treatment phase of the BSD installation... Is it Ok, does it take this long (it says 2 minutes left before the end of process, but the bar doesn't progress...) or do I have a real problem ? I try to install on a second hard disk, without any system on it... I also tried in safe mode, I still get blocked in the final phase of the installation. Any comment? Go to Terminal Type: sudo killall temacs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neko no yume Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I had the same problem simonthor, but using screenshots of installation of tiger and tabbing in the menus I installed without a lot of problems. Its not a great solution but it worked for me. It happened on my USB Drive Leopard installation (maybe this helps) But i have a problem, Leopard cannot detect the airport hardware nor the sound hardware on my macbook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfrancox Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I tried this and was able to get through the installation process no problem, but when I restart into the Leopard partition I get stuck at the Apple logo with the rotating circle. Never actually boots into Lepard. Ive tried a few times, letting it sit there for a while as well as holding Shift while booting. I cant get past the start up screen. This is getting annoying, nothing I try works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stryder Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I installed this way, and can boot into safe mode (I am in safe mode now) but can't boot up unless I am in safe mode. macbook pro 15" 200mb efi 60GB Tiger 14GB Leopard please please help I can't get it to boot on mine, either, without safe mode. I thought maybe Apple dropped support for my G4 with Leopard, but I guess not. I was seriously looking for another Mac to replace my G4 until I saw your post. Then I just decided to get a PC Laptop and wait for a better Mac to come out later (linux is a fine replacement for OS X if you really need it to be). I'm guessing there's some flaw with the Leopard install DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfolder001 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 My install froze when installing the BSD subsystem. When am I supposed to type in sudo killall temacs to terminal. I can't access terminal when it freezes. I tried before I installed but the problem still exists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bikedude880 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 This method will no longer work for 9a321 unless you use the new installer. The reason? Apple has compressed the packages using "xar" and created "flat" packages. The DVD seems to be the easiest way now (besides iPod installation that is).
