urahoho Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hello all, I am interested in installing mac os 10.5.2 on my dell 700m I have the retail mac install disc 10.5.2 that I got from my fiance's macbook. I have been looking over the forums, but can figure out how to install from this disk. Windows is already installed on the machine , but I want to make it dual boot. xp on one partition and mac on the other. I already downloaded EFI_v8 but I don't know where to go from here? Can someone help or direct me to a link that will help? Thanks!

urahoho Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 I am following this installation process. http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...DualBoot_10.5.2 Is there I can modify a way so I can use my 10.5.2 discs that came with my macbook then to download the Kalyway 10.5.2 dvd? If i just used my macbook discs directly would I have problems?

urahoho Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 ok I am installing the 10.5.2 on my 700m. On the 5th try, trying different customizations. all of them freeze with 36-40 mins left to go. I have 512 of memory think this is playing a factor? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/127128-super-newbieplease-help-installing-1052-on-700m/#findComment-901505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcampisi14 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Alright I can see you having a ton of issues using just the dvd that came with the macbook. Spend the time to download a proper release of OS X that will work on your Dell. There are a ton of all in one dvd's kicking around, go for a more recent release if possible.

urahoho Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 opps. I meant to say I was using the kalyway 10.5.2 dvd not the originals anymore.

pcampisi14 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Does the DVD boot? Have you backed up your data? I would'nt be installing OS X on this laptop if you need to use it everyday.
