I`v downloaded leo flat image and I want to install it on single partition. I separated partition for it (22GB) but when I run write leopard-x86-flat-img to disk0 (because i have only one HDD) shall the instalation of leopard delete the existing one of XP and where is the place where I chose on witch partition to be installed Leopard ? Does it installs on the partition that is placed the image or I choose manual on witch one to be ... and is it 100% sure that it won`t delete (or crash) my XP installation ?

I Want A Trans Am Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I've followed the steps and it worked, until the reboot. the mac symbol flashes just for a slit second and the computer reboots, does this mean my hardware isn't compatible?

DigitalK Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 got that taken care of with macdrive software... now I have this issue upon boot it is similar to issues i have w/ the uphuck version as well.... this is lame. anyone? bueller? bueller? core duo 2.2, msi neo 965 motherboard nvidia 7600gs graphics motherboard specs 965 chipset ICH8R chipset High Definition link controller integrated in Intel ICH8R chip (azalia) Realtek RTL8111B PCI-Express Gb LAN Controller I read this elsewhere, could it possibly help those with 965 chipsets? Apple MacBook Gets Major Refresh With Intel 965 Chipset This week Apple's MacBook line got an Intel "Santa Rosa" 965 chipset refresh. Though described by some publications as a "minor" upgrade, it's more than minor. Replacing the ancient mobile 945 chipset with the new 965 gets you GMA X3100 graphics, a faster front-side bus, integrated 802.11n wireless (though Apple supplies AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi), and Intel Matrix Storage Manager 7.0, among other features. That's more new features than you get with a processor upgrade. And speaking of processor upgrades, the fastest Core 2 Duo processors offered with the MacBook now run at 2.2 GHz, bettering the previous 2.16 GHz. The stealth angle to the update (that is, it was done unannounced) is a bit perplexing. Let's put it this way: consumers considering a MacBook may have more than a passing interest in the fact that the lineup has been refreshed with completely new silicon.

onradar Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Using dd to copy the image creates a partition of 15 GB for Leopard. How can I increase the size?Thanks I'm having the exact same problem. In Windows with the Disk Manager you can initialize the remaining space as a blank partition, as in no file system, so that OS X will see it. At least that was the easiest way I could figure out. OS X will then see the remaining space and you can format it using the OS X disk utility as a HFS disk which you can use. However, when I reboot the bootloader doesn't want to load OS X when the addition partition on the drive is initialized. So I have to delete the parition in Windows for OS X to load again. Though this could be because I'm just using the XP bootloader with the chain0 file in my C:\ drive. I'm going to look more into this when I get home tonight.

patchr Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hello, i have problems with this leopard installation, too. When i boot from the new leopard harddisk, my system reboots after a short start of darwin. @cee: i don´t see the apple logo. with the -v when darwin boots, I see something like "match.kernel". The last thing i see is that it loads the "Extensions.mkext" or something like that. And this is only line 8 or so from the booting process. And then it reboots! I have a: Epox nforce 4 ultra sockel 939 board AMD X2 3800 2 Gigs G.skill RAM MSI 7800 GT Could anyone help me please? and a very big sorry about my poor english!!!!

ToGr82B4Gotn Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 This flat image method is awesome. Got it up on my Latitude D820 in less than 20 minutes. Only caveat is I have to figure out the AUdio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patchr Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I seem to recall seeing something about that here, do a search on "match.kernel" or something similar. sorry, but I think I don´t understand you the right way. What do you mean with search? Should this be on the new HFS+ harddisk, where leopard is installed? But why it shouldn´t be there? Would be a picture of the first few lines of the darwin startup useful? Thank you a lot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus05uk Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I got the same problem as the above. I am on windows XP, any help ? Thank you I had the same problem. My fix was really weird and flukey. Try booting onto the Disk you made for Leopard now, even though nothing seemed to have happend, it'll probably give you a bunch of errors and stall somewhere. And which point, return to windows and then run that Batch file, if you're as lucky as me, it'll all go fine from then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatnik Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hi, I would like to know if this Flat image work on my: Dell Inspiron 5150 Notebook, 2.66 Ghz processor pentium II, 256Mb RAM, 60Gb internal HARD DRIVE with windows XP. This pc was bought around 2003-2004. I ALREADY downloaded it, but I am not sure if my pc is SSE3 or SSE2, I will update that Ram to 768Mb, and buy an external hard drive of 60Gb to try this Leopard flat image. This would be the first time I try the OSX86, or do you think is better to get the ToH Leopard Release that supports better SSE2? I would like to know, if my pc doesnt work with SSE2, I could use virtualization software to try it like VMware or VirtualBox?. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
