jabaman Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I have successfully installed Kalyway 10.5.1 a couple times and I have searched and found the "Retail' installs tend to go to a separate hard drive. I want to go Retail. Can a retail OSx be installed to another partition on the same hard drive and booted and remove the HACK version? No other OS will be run- no multibooting. ( The answer may be obvious, just not to me starting out ) Specs: GA-P35-DS3L, Q6600, Geforce 7300 LE, 2 x 1GB adata DDR 800, 80GB WD SATA hard drive, SATA DVD burner, PCI LAN card On the second install at F8 I entered ' vanilla', created two GUID partions- 'Leopard' ( diskOs2) 20 GB, 'Retail' ( diskOs3) 54.1 GB, 'Customized' with vanilla kernels, NVInject and BOOT_efi_guid, skipped registration with "Windows" key + Q and all is well... When the desktop came up it asked if I wanted "Retail" for Time Machine backups- said No, the Geforce 7300LE is seen and at correct 1280x1024 resolution, PC seen as MacPro @ 3.29GHz (correct overclock) w/ 2 GB memory... Shut down works, restart works, all 4 cores are seen, machine is snappy, Safari works etc. I have not had to do any terminal work to this point, just point and click so the experience has been very positive so far.

iSkylla Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I have a similar setup, I have two partitions, one Leo4all and one Retail. Sleep only works on my retail, I'm not sure what is changed in Leo4all or in Kalway because sleep never works on the mass distros, only retail install.

jabaman Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 If I can use the same hard drive but different partition to install retail OSx how do I go about it? Is there a guide I can follow given I am not starting from scratch and have Kaly working- jump the line on the install so to speak and start further along a proven posted install method? Thanks again Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104205-retail-install-to-2nd-partition-same-hd/#findComment-742214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
