RedDrag0n Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm planning on getting an HP DV9700 laptop (DV9743CL to be exact) and i'm wondering, what obstacles will i run into? I plan on having two hard drives installed, one is XP, the other with OS X 10.5.2. here are the specs on the laptop. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated. If you have the same laptop or one similar with experience installing OS X, info regarding that would be helpful too. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memorial Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 You will not have wireless. Depending on your sound card, you may not have sound, or may not have headphones and or mic. Depending on the card reader, that may not work as well. I don't know about the webcam or video card (video should work). Check the OSx86 wiki for hardware compatibility and look in the forum for howtos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDrag0n Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Alright, i will do that. Before i made the post, i did a search on the forums for anyone else with the DV9700 series laptop and they said they couldn't get their webcam working. They didn't say anything about the sound or such. So hopefully it goes smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_ontario Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I tried to install it on a DV9731CA with the following results Display: Worked OK but choppy on video Web cam: Did not work Sleep/Hibernation: Crashed Computer Network Adapter: found but did not work Audio: Did not work Card Reader: Did not work Remote: Did not work USB: Had issues with memory keys Wireless Network: not even detected Results.. Pros - It Ran Cons - Nothing Worked..... Judgment: Waste of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying on and off for about a month and I can't get it to run on my dv9700. I have that version installed correctly on my Maxtor portable hard drive but it won't boot. HP's BIOS seems to lack the option to change settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
