Hi All,

Great News;


I have Just Installed Leopard 10.5 ( from Stock Image 7.5 GB without any Patch other than for GIUD partition )


System 1 : Intel Quadcore - DG33FB MB - 8 GB Ram - 250 GB SATA - Nvidia 8800 GTS - NO IDE Working

System 2 : Intel Xeon 5405 x 2 Dual Processors ; Intel 5299 WS Cabinet ; Intel 6 SATA Hot Swappable Bay ;
8 GB Ram ; Nvidia 8800 GTS ; Dual 22' LCD Monitors


1. Already have running 10.5.4 on System 1

2. Removed the HDD ( having Leopard ) and placed as primary in System 2

3. System 2 Boots to OS x without any Errors

4. Mount stock Leopard 10.5 only 7.5 GB Image on System 2 ( running on 10.5.4 as of now )

5. Install it into second HDD ( Open OSInstall.mpkg method )

6. Shutdown the Systm2 make HDD2 as Primary ( startupdisk)

7. Restart the System 2 -


WOW

System Boots up and Intro Video comes up without any patch -

Enjoy :
