Cont3stant Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Well, i downloaded Leopard and tried to install it, as it was suggeted in the other topic. But now i can't even install it (i'm using VMWare), this is what happens; http://upload.team-duck.com/users/Cont3stant/upload.bmp Now, could someone explain me, how the hell can i take read only off from it? Because when i checked the HDD file itself, it was correct and not read only as the mac install says. Specs; Intel P4 HT @ 3.00GHZ 1GB of ram Integrated sound nVidia GeForce 7600 GS mobo: http://www.ecs.com.tw/extra/865pe-a/ Thanks for your help.

neogen Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 hi which version are you using? iatkos etc.... Are you using the tutorials for installing in VMware? If not search around mate im sure there is some file editing you have to do to get it to work. Failing that if you really want to try it then install for real, you will get a much better feel for it, much better then any simulated enviroment, Hope this helps Regards Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/126336-fault-booting-the-install/#findComment-893251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cont3stant Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 I followed a guide in the Wiki.. i'm using a 10.5.2 via Kalyway.. i know a native install is better but my XP-s bootloader is ****ed up enough already, and if the mac is gonna fail badly then i can't boot up anymore basically.. but i don't know really, i might hook up a 120 GB Sata drive and format that if nothing is gonna help me got rid of my Disk being read only error. The text is a bit fussy, i'm getting sleepy i hope you understand me.
