Paintball24 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Alright, I used the tiger-x86.tar guide for trying to install OSx86, but it didn't seem to work. --------------------- Intel P4 2.8Ghz 1GB RAM 70GB HD (C:\) 120GB HD (D:\) --------------------- Alright, I followed the guide exactly to the "try to boot with Darwin" part. (By the way, What the hell is Darwin?) So, I (have a Dell) tried to boot from the D:\ drive, but it nothing would happen. No Darwin stuff, nothing. And to make matters worse (lol, like they could...) Windows doesn't recognize that my D:\ drive even exists. (After the failed boot) I never did anything physically to my PC, like switch the HDs or anything, only tried to boot from D:\. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'll try formatting the D Drive, (It had some files on it before I tried to install OSx86 to it) Maybe that was the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UPDATE: I was just searching around in the wiki when I came across a guy with my same PC, Dell Deminsion 4600. I said he physically switched the hard drives. (Not just tried to boot from D) So, I took his advice. Lo and behold, it works. w00t! The boot up is low and the operating system seems so and I can't connect to the Internet, but I'm working on those things now. Thanks. :censored2: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13686-paintball24s-boot-to-os-x/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paintball24 Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 Thanks, man. BTW, did you get your sound or Internet connection to work? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13686-paintball24s-boot-to-os-x/#findComment-87297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EriCKY Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Heh, I REALLY suggest you download a newer version... 10.4.1 is supposedly the worst with barely any features, but newer releases such as 10.4.3 and 10.4.4/5 are much better Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13686-paintball24s-boot-to-os-x/#findComment-87313 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeDz Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I wouldnt trust the OS X software updates, the last "security update" made my os unable to boot up... I think its best to get an update from an os x86 install dvd, or download a patch recommended by this forum.
