TNOArchon Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi. I have been trying to do this since i knew about this project. Finally, this week i got the image downloaded: Kellyway MacOSX 10.5 Intel/AMD DVD Kinda cool, it includes a pre-patched copy of Leopard. So, i got a 40GB hard drive, i didnt wanted to waste my time by getting the hard drive on... so i just took my USB to IDE adapter, and installed it there. The installation goes just fine... and it finishes. It tells me that i need to reebot... i do that... and nothing. Im not a noob, i maked sure the BIOS was set-up to run with the USB, and it does... the problem is that according to my BIOS, there is not OS in there. I double-checked with my windows, with MacDrive 7, and the OS was there, it was installed. I think there is no BOOT file in the drive. I spent two days now trying to get it to work... but i cant. I tryied to get some tool to get that fixed, but i cant find it. Please help me! lol... im tryred of windows. Just to make sure... here are my specs: - Pentium 4 - 3.00 GHZ, HT Enabled - 1.5 GB of RAM (DDR2) - ECS Motherboard. with AMIBIOS - LITE-ON DVD Combo - DIAMMOND ATI X1550 (512MB) The USB to IDE adapter: - USB 2.0 - IDE/SATA - Disk used: 40GB SAMSUNG SP0411N Please help!

KiTzBiTz Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Did you flag your Leopard? via Terminal before you start the installation check it.. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111227-my-leopard-is-not-booting/#findComment-787806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j+j+j Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 did you get kalyway 10.5.2? i have vista on sata and leoard(mbr) on ide (gigabyte p35 ds3r + c2d + ati hd3850) my installation went through smooth and fine but i had problem bootin leopard... so by i setting the IDE HDD as master drive (by using a jumper(s)) solved the problem.

KiTzBiTz Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Follow this guide Enter Terminal on your Leopard DVD installation..choose disk utility..then type this on terminal fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (remember!!..if your OS is installed in different HD..then ensure you know which HD is it) p <--to list the partition on HD 0 f x <--- x refer to your partition where you installed your OS..example 1 for Vista, 2 for Leopard so it could be like this (f 1) u <-- Update the value w <--write the value y <--Yes to confirm the write value into system q <--quit with save function reboot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111227-my-leopard-is-not-booting/#findComment-792591 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got them uploaded in my 1TB server in the States. But i dont want to risk my identity providing this downloads. I dont want apple to start around with me. So, im making a little program that will hide my IPs to the world! Lol. I will let you know if it happens.
