ijwcomp Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi everyone! This is my 1st time here so forgive me if I seem like inexperienced... After reading some topics in this awesome forum.. I decided I would like MacOSX on my new computer. First of all.. my computer specs: - Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz - Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3 - Video Card: nVidia Geforce 9800GT - North Bridge: Intel P45 Express Chipset - South Bridge: Intel ICH10 - Memory: 4GB - HDD: 640GB (blank) - Sound: Realtek ALC889A codec - LAN: 2 x Realtek 8111C chips (10/100/1000 Mbit) - WLAN: TP-Link TL-WN620G (Atheros Chipset) (USB) - DVD: LG SATA DVD-Writer What I want my computer to have: - Windows Vista x64 (200GB) - Windows XP x64 (200GB) - MacOSX Leopard (200GB) - Spare HDD (40GB) I got Kalyway 10.5.2 on a DVD and burnt it onto DVD. Can someone guide me how to do this? I have read the forums and the different ways how to do this but I don't know the best way to do this, anything to watch out for etc... Thanks in advance...

Donw35 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 you will find some good guides on in the forum, I would recommend using iDeneb or iAtkos 10.5.5 or 10.5.6 build to save time updating after that complex install. I am runing Windows Vista x64 with iAtkos 10.5.6, easy to do but havent done three.

ijwcomp Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Okay.. getting iDeneb.. it's going to take a week or two to finish... The one part that I don't really get is the dual (in my case.. triple) booting and to install Windows first, Mac first, has to be a primary partition etc... So, would someone please explain to me how to accomplish a triple-boot?

ijwcomp Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Okay.. found a few guides how to setup XP or Vista onto the machine. Is it possible for Leopard (iAtkos 10.5.5) to use the chain0, XP Bootloader method as mentioned here? http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=52954 (It says Tiger, not sure if it will work with Leopard) If it would, then I'll just install Vista afterwards and the boot.ini of XP would still remain. If it won't work, is there an alternative that would work when installing both XP and Vista?

ijwcomp Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yay! I got Mac OS X Leopard working... (iDeneb 10.5.5) Just a few last issues.. I got a USB wireless adapter which is a TP-LINK TL-WN620G which uses the Atheros AR5523 Chipset. It is recognized by Leopard as a 108M USB Adapter but I still can't see it in System Perferences > Network. Any help would be appricated.
