Rhapsody Man Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hi, I have a Presario F700 laptop that I want to run Leopard on. I've tried Leo4all and it works up to where you tell it what drive to install it to. What I want to know is if the installer works does that mean it will work on my computer? I want to know if I should buy an external drive or not. Thanks in advance, Rhapsody Man Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/156069-presario-f700-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentwalker Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I assume you're having problems with your hard drive not beign recognized. I'm on a Presario F756 and have the same issue, tried several distros and no results. If you find something, please let me know.

Rhapsody Man Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 I've tried installing to a partition on my main drive and Disk Utility sees all three of my partitions, but it can't mount them to reformat them. I has an input/output error. So far I've used Leo4all v3 with stopped with a waiting for root device and Leo4all v4 which works except for the mounting of drives. The only thing I can think of to try is to copy the CD onto a spare partition and make a CD that would boot from that partition (the installer can install to the boot device ).

Rhapsody Man Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 I got Leo4All V4 to install on an external HD by using a Bytecc USB 2.0 to IDE Drive Mate, but I can't get it to boot from it. I'm currently patching it for AMD so I can see if that will work. Any suggestions?? I'm pretty new at this, so I don't know much.
