Hey guys I have been trying to get OSX running on my laptop all night and have not had any success. I have a copy of Mac OS X Leopard OSx86 v10.5.1 *KALYWAY* and running a P4-M at 1.86Ghz single core, 512MB RAM, Intel 910GM card, 80gig HDD all on a Compaq Presario 4000.

 

I have deleted all partitions on the drive using Windows' FDISK as when I first tried installing OSX it made it past the loading section where it loads all the files with text only mode, but when it came to the GUI to actually begin the install it said it could not install on the drive. Now that I have formatted the drive it does all the loading which takes around 30 minutes and before the GUI loads a light blue screen shows up and nothing happens, it just hangs there.

 

What can I do to get it working? That's all the information I could find online about the laptop.

 

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

even i tried to do it on laptop but the sata hdd leo / leo disk utilities it doesn't identify once it identifies it even when it formats it can't mount and if i try to do with parted magic it show the whole hdd without any partitions or file system

 

what to do?

Alright I just ran some software on the laptop to find more information on the hardware. Hopefully it is enough info.

Thanks guys. Did I choose the wrong OSX to run?

 

Any help is appreciated.

try this

 

somewhere on the keyboard you should have a way to use an external monitor. On my IBM its Fn+F7, yours might be the same. Or it could be Shift+F7 usually it is a function key that has a little pic of a monitor on it.

 

So when you get to the grey screen, hit Fn+F7 or whatever your key combination would be. See if that gets you to the login screen.
