deejayy Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I would love to install Leopard on my new pc but i dont really know where to start, i did search before posting but i dont even know what i am looking for. I am very computer literate so i can manage simple to advanced tasks, but i just have no idea about OSX. My hardware is Asus P5QL Pro Motherboard Intel Dual Core ATI HD 3450 Graphics Onboard sound (but upgrading to M-Audio card, this is covered, i have working driver) 4GB Corsair TwinX pc6400 DDR2 Wireless Gigabyte PCI Card (this is not essential, i can get online other ways, but would be useful) 250GB SATA II HDD LG DVD r/w I did download APPLE.MAC.OSX.LEOPARD.V10.5.ISO-OSX which i believe is an untouched image. inside is osx-leopard105.dmg This is around 6GB so how would i burn this to DVD ?? My disks are 4Gb, i tried looking for higher capacity from computer shops but oouldnt see any? I do have a USB Hard Drive, so if i could install from this it would be easier. I also have Windows Vista installed, i would like to leave this and dual boot. I created a seperate partition for OSX, so now what? One other question i have is can i access files on the Vista partition from with OSX and vice versa. or will i need to copy files to the OSX partition. I will be using both OS to perform similar tasks thus using the same files. Thanks to anyone who can help me Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/163940-getting-started-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

hecker Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi there and welcome to the forum! You should start here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showforum=45 and here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showforum=136 You can choose to go either the retail way (easier to update and to maintain but the learning curve may be steeper for a newbie) or via one of the many pre-patched "releases". Good luck! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/163940-getting-started-help/#findComment-1143161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
