Problem with the disk ? the external HDD ? The ISO (I tryed with 3 différent download of MSIwindosx86.iso) ? The S10 MBR ? Anything to do with Fedora ? If anyone have a solution...

doSeee Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 If i got problems i only got an USB stick with a live Ubuntu. There´s a partition manager and if you use this you can manage the partition flags. Only set the osx partition to "boot" if you installed chameleon bootloader. This must help i think.

This must help i think. hi bro, hope you solve your problem already, my personal experience, is to change the HD to keep the original XP safe, any way is not that expensive, then get an external DVDRom, some one you might know probably have it, so boot from external DVDRom and install OSX to the New HD you got, then follow instructions from http://www.eba420.com/downloads.html and finally to update to 10.5.7 get the patch from http://code.google.com/p/cybergreghost/dow...mp;can=2&q= every thingworks, even the microphone works with USB headset, the only thing that doesnt work is the LAN, i got an apple sticker and i got my apple netbook for less than US$ 600 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/164804-help-unable-to-install-osx-or-restore-xp-on-lenovo-s10/#findComment-1171656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
