benjalizana Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Mate, first of all thank you so much for your time and enthusiasm! You see I have an semi-old pc that is running XP but if overclocked has great potential. I am running XP on a 250 Sata2 HD and i just got a 40 GB IDE HD id like to install Leopard into. My PC hardware is CPU: Intel Pentium 4 511 Prescott LGA 775 2.8 Ghz Mainboard: Asus P5ND2 SLI Chipset nVidia nForce4 Sli Intel Edition RAM: 2 x 512mb Kingston DDR2 667 VGA: ATI Radeon X1600 Series 256mb HD: 40 GB IDE Maxtor HD + 250 GB Seagate Sata2 HD Id appreciate if you could help me out to find the best or a suitable version of Leopard to install into that HD since ive tried but havent had luck yet. It is important to let you know that my PC runs with an integrated sound card and ethernet card too, so basically if you look up the mainboard specs ull find all the info necessary. Thank you very much! Cheers Ben Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/143370-looking-for-leopard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo877 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 you've tried? what went wrong? kalyway is the one I use, there's a sticky in the leopard install forum. Google about for tutorials, did you format the drive with mac extended journal in disk utility?

benjalizana Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 well you see i tried to install into IDE hd but got an error "still waiting for root devices" so i though maybe i ought to disconnect my SATA2 HD and just work with the IDE one but it didnt work out either. Btw, how do i configure the darwin bootloader for the kalyway 10.5.2 version.. ive seen iatkos version has it under the utilities menu, but i cant seem to find it in this other version im using (i tried it on a friends pc and it couldnt get to boot without the dvd, and tried some Terminal commands but couldnt get to set them right) My friends pc has vista pre installed so i partitioned the HD and created an Extended Journaled partition for OSX but couldnt get to boot from it. I got errors and then had to reset vista partition for it to boot and make the machine work again( using Gparted i set the partition flag to "boot").Also if i booted with the dvd (i asume darwin bootloader is in the dvd for it to enter OSX) i couldnt get to configure the keyboard. Id appreciate some guidance to solve my issues.
