gooh Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 i have a 30 gb. ipod 5g(video) and I was wondering if I could install Zephy/Kaly AMD on it and use it as a bootable x86 install. I had zeph on my pc but things went wrong and i went through hell to put windows back on it, and i dont have an external HD but i do have my beloved ipod and since i use it as storage and an ipod (also youtube vids on istalling leo setup on ipod) I figured there must be a way to install an os on it. so my main questions are: Is is possable to install x86 on my ipod and use as a bootable disk If the above is possable can i use it as an ipod, AND a boot disk?

David Leonard Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 If you can boot from a USB Drive, You "Should" Be able to. but no promises, expicially with the fact that drivers are different between machines, you would have to load kexts for all the systems that you plan to run it on, but more than anything it should work if you have you iPod formatted for mac.

My ipod Is formated for windows. I figured I could Format it in disk util. nd then run from there Drivers wont matter because im only going to use it on my computer and not any other. Has anyone tried this before?? oh and If I partition my HD instead of totaly reformating it, can I keep it as an ipod and a boot disk?, like leopard on 20gb. and ipod and other stuff on the remaining?

gooh Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 i cant believe there's no one that can help. If you can install xp and the leopard install disk on an ipod then installing the real think shouldn't be too much diffrent!
