dang yu Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I have been following directions on how to create a USB bootloader to DVD, and I'm at the step where I need to use the Disk Utility to restore the OSx86DeFacto.dmg file to the USB stick. Forgive me for being a NOOB, but how or where do I get the file?

There is no link to download OSx86DeFacto.dmg. Just one for OSx86Tools. I looked in the OSxTools zip but found no such file.. Can anyone help?

Owners of nForce chipset + Intel CPU MOBOs who post in my nForce chipset + Intel CPU MOBO topics, who I believe have exhausted all other options for solving their DVD and/or HDD OSx86 booting problems will be invited by myself to PM me to get the download link for OSx86DeFacto, which they must agree not to (i) post in the public domain, e.g. in this forum or in other fora and/or (ii) pass on to another person or persons without my agreement.

dang yu Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 See here...... Whoops overlooked that tid-bit. Does that mean the USB Bootloader method will only work with Intel & NVID chipsets? Or those are the only people that qualify to PM him? I have an AMD Turion 64. Sorry to be a pest. If I'm in the wrong section of this forum feel free to point me in the right area..

It was produced for and tested on nForce chipset + Intel CPU MOBOs.......to deal with the "still waiting for root device" error....... What is your full system spec?

dang yu Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Thanks for the quick response Compaq Presario v2000 notebook (please don't laugh. Ha. Runs great since I up't HDD/RAM.)

I can boot (very slowly) into OSX, but I have to use extenal USB keyboard/mouse. ALso, I think OSX thinks I have a SATA drive causing it to operate really really [lag] slow. (i may be wrong) Is there a kext I need to get and inject so it knows its an IDE? I swear I've been googling! Leo4allv2 is the only realease I have found that will install and boot. (Not reliably, and slow) I read somewhere else that Kalyway supported touchpad/keyboard... which leads to the reason I wanted to create that USB bootloader..to try and install one of the other 5 images of OSx86 I have in my possesion (that have waiting on 'root errors' & other misc issues..) Vista is flying on my third partition (hardware hungry bloatware! ) I'd really like get this Potential Mac running quickly and with everything enabled! Any Suggestions?

Well your HDD is a 5400rpm drive......slower than 7200rpm desktop HDDs Using an external USB keyboard/mouse is often required with laptops You need to check if the HDD vendor and device IDs are in the Info.plist of the ATA kexts..... Suggest you look in this thread for some pointers...... EDIT: See here......may have video limitations.....
