it gave me a list of options after I clicked that commend, should I have chosen any of those?

What options? Something like this:

usage: fdisk [-ieu] [-f mbrboot] [-c cyl -h head -s sect] [-S size] [-r] [-a style] disk
	-i: initialize disk with new MBR
	-u: update MBR code, preserve partition table
	-e: edit MBRs on disk interactively
	-f: specify non-standard MBR template
	-chs: specify disk geometry
	-S: specify disk size
	-r: read partition specs from stdin (implies -i)
	-a: auto-partition with the given style
	-d: dump partition table
	-y: don't ask any questions
	-t: test if disk is partitioned
`disk' is of the form /dev/rdisk0.
auto-partition styles:
 boothfs	 8Mb boot plus HFS+ root partition (default)
 bootufs	 8Mb boot plus UFS root partition
 hfs		 Entire disk as one HFS+ partition
 ufs		 Entire disk as one UFS partition
 dos		 Entire disk as one DOS partition
 raid		Entire disk as one 0xAC partition

 

If you got that kind of response, then the command didn't happen.

 

And there is no "clicking" in the Terminal.

Hey guys,

 

thanx for this great and easy Tutorial. The only thing I had to fight a bit was with "Acronis..." but the rest is pretty clear!

 

I used

 

MacOSX_10.4.6DVDPATCHED_Myz

 

on

 

"Asus A6JC pro60"

2x 1,66 Centrino Duo

1024MB ram (2 slots)

120GB

HL-DT dvd-burner

 

 

now i´ve got an question and problem. Is there an Driver for the: "Intel 3945ABG wireless network adapter" and I need someone for my "Realtek AC97" soundcard, too. Maybe somebody of you can help me.

OMG! Thatll be one more Dual Boot user added to the ranks!!! :D Thanks dilnalomo! (How would that be pronounced, by tha way? lol) Youve got an awsome guide my friend, and without it I probably would not have been able to do this!

 

 

OSX 10.4.6 running natively on;

 

post-55022-1157991062_thumb.jpg

Sony Vaio VGC-RB38G

XP MCE SP2

P4 3.4 GHz

128MB ATI Radeon x300

1G RAM

250GB SATA

80GB SATA

 

Its running very VERY nicely! HD Sound Driver working from the get go, as well as, firewire, usb, keyboard and mouse, DVD\CD Burn Combo drive, and even recognizes my eHome infrared receiver that came with the vaio for MC! Ive yet to test if i can control anything with it through...

 

The only problems im having are... getting the internet working... my conect is wireles, using Airlink MIMO XR 302.11 PCI Adapter... im also having a bit of trouble with a video card glitch i guess. when i click anywhere or anything on the screen it leave an artifact of some sort, that looks like a chunck of the wallpaper or something else thats open somewhere on screen... Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it? :whistle:

 

Well, once again thanks to dilnalomo, and everyone else actively helping eachother out! Thats what makes this {censored} great! Im off to get iLife and Final Cut... :P

 

Oh yeah and the Myz install that i originaly tried didnt work for me so I tried the Jas and everything went perfectly!

ok, little update, I tried it with the space after the -u and it gave me an error message saying something like thefile didnt exist. Im gonna wipe the computer and try again. if nothing else works, its in dire need of a bigger HD, so Ill just buy a new HD (even though I know the HD isnt screwed up.)

Step 5. Convert your partition for OSX.

Now you should see the screen "Select a destination", and it's empty (last picture above). Now on top of the screen, go to Utilities->Disk Utility.

On the left select the partition you made in step 2.

You may have to start the disk utility from the DVD-ROM Menu. Then select the partition / disk you want to install OSX inside and Erase it by selecting The Journalled file system. After that close the disk utility and continue with the installation process. There should have been a green arrow showing the newly formatted partition where you will be able to install the OSX. :blink:

 

Let me know if you managed to do it successfully.:)

through this screen you must select the DISK UTILITY so that you format your drive with the journalled file system.

I can not select any of them..no hdd's appairs on the screen! " no hdd to selsect"

THEN you will be able to select the drive to install OSX.

when i boot up into osx, at the login screen, a warning pops up telling me that the usb device is using too much energy, and that it will be disconnected fromt the hub. I have an external harddrive, and it shows up in the sytem profiler, but it wont show up anywhere else, and i cant access it. i support sse2, and i am on a intel machine, 1.8 celeron. any help would be greatly appreciated.

can you please read my comment in that pic?!

thanks a lot for paying attentinon.

It's obvious that you cannot install the OSX on the installation DVD! :)

I guess that the above white square on the picture identifies some hard disk you don't want to ruin, is that right? I'd advise you to connect a PATA drive (not Serial ATA) on your PC and try the procedure from scratch. It worked for me, I don't see the reason it won't for you!

Keep trying! It worths it! ;)

No. What samerali2 has been trying to say from the beginning is that when he goes to Disk Utility, he only sees his DVD drive and install DVD and no other. He hasn't taken his own pictures, he's using other pictures he has found. With his original post, he references a procedure saying to go to Disk Utility. Then he posts two pictures of Disk Utility. And then he says he can't get his HDD to appear there. The white block in his recent picture is to make it look like what he sees when he goes to Disk Utility.

 

But the exchange has been entertaining...

I got the computer to boot up by reinstalling windows. Sadly, that means that I lost all my music, and everything else, but . . . I cant really complain, since it wouldnt even boot before.

 

one thing Ive learned from this?
