pprez Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hello to everyone, this is my first post and I need help and guide as a newbie in everything about MAC.. I'm trying to install the MAC OSX Leopard on a Dell Vostro notebook but I have problems. I downloaded the ToH DVD version and, as what I read from a webpage, I downloaded a patch to active it (from a pendrive)... When I try to install it, after the installer loads many files, I see many errors and then the screen turns blue for a second, and then black and I can't do anything... I searched in the internet and read about the problems with the X3100 card but I'm not sure where to start... I need your orientation... This is my hardware: - CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 (I read that it has SSE3 support)... multi core support is set off from the BIOS - chipset: Intel GM965 - videocard: Intel X3100 GMA - HDD: 120GB SATA (in the BIOS the SATA Operation is set to AHCI) - wireless card: Intel 3945ABG - audio: Sigmatel 9228 I would like to have only the Leopard in my HDD and have virtual OS's if I need them... I saw some sites where they talk about formatting in different partitions to have various OS's... in some site, somebody tells to format the Leopard partition with FAT32... in other page, I read that it doesn't need to have any format... I have my HDD without format These are some errors I see before the screen turns black (this is with the installer without any option): ERROR: Firewire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure localhost com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.SystemStarter): Failed to count the number of files in "/System/Library/StartupItems": no such file or directory localhost diskarbitrationd[44]: CoreRAIDServer [43]: 16387 not responding mDNSResponder: Mach communication failed (ipc/send) Please help me, I really want to have MAC OSX and have a different experience... I left windows some months ago but linux doesn't compares to MAC. greetings pprez Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/177742-install-problem-on-dell-vostro-please-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
