raybond25 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Anyone? Download this .rar archive and follow the instructions below, they worked for making my bootable usb. http://www.mediafire.com/file/t1422wjm3zj/Leopard Bootable USB.zip 1) Extract Downloaded Archive 2) Install hp usb disk storage format tool (SP27608.exe) 3) Plug in USB drive and open hp usb disk storage format tool 4) Select Device, FAT32 File System, Check Create a DOS Startup Disk, Select the bubble for "using DOS system files located at:", browse to and select win98boot folder and hit start 5) Once the disk has formatted open up Leopard HD Install Helper v0.3 by running ddmac.exe 6) Familirise yourself with the interface by viewing English_GUI.png which is included in the folder. 7) Select ISO image, uncheck write box, select USB drive (ignore any errors generated), recheck write box, click start. 8) DONT DO ANYTHING! Don't even move your cursor untill finished (about 10-15mins) or the program will freeze. If this happens go back to step 3 and start again. 9) Restart your computer and boot from the USB drive.

verdant Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 yeah, i did notice that it did not play well with seven, try running it in compatibility mode with XP settings, since it does work with XP. With temporary access to a Intel Mac (real or hack) or AMD Mac Hack, you can A. Use OSx86Tools to install PC_EFI v8, or Chameleon 2.0 bootloader installer, or other bootloader of your choice, onto the 4GB MBR/HFS+ formatted USB stick, and the use Disk Utility restore to load the OS X .iso file onto the stick BUT NOT checking "Erase destination".......if you need to add additional kexts to help boot the installer on your system, I would simply plug the stick into a working Intel OS X or OSx86 machine and use KextUtility v2.2 to extract the files from the iPC 10.5.6 mkext file into an Extensions folder that I would place inside System/Library and add any additional kexts inside the Extensions (and/or /Extra) folder..... B. If you are using Retail OS X DVD, then if you show hidden/system files using TinkerTool, you will see that the OS X Retail Install DVD has a System/Library/Extensions folder already......and again .......if you need to add additional kexts to help boot the installer on your system, I would simply plug the stick into a working Intel OS X or OSx86 machine and use KextUtility v2.2 to extract the files from the iPC 10.5.6 mkext file into an Extensions folder that I would place inside System/Library and add any additional kexts inside the Extensions (and/or /Extra) folder.....

AeroWV Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Hi guys, I tried the app posted by raybond25 and the ddmac on my 4gb usb before i tried other methods but it didnt work, when trying to boot i was getting a msg that said disk error or not system disk something like that, but now after i used that app, it seems like it actually booted something from the usb because now the msg said error loading operating system or failed to load operating system.. i'm using iatkos v7 and i dont know why i get this msg if i followed every single step and it seems like it worked for bloodbust... so any help is appreciated thank you guys in advance btw im new to this forum but i really like it, i think i'll be around for a while Nevermind guys i could make it boot and im happy now (= =P Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180259-installing-iatkos-from-a-4gb-usb-drive/#findComment-1240046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzy707 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 i would like to know what the name is of that app since it expired on mediafire pls and thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180259-installing-iatkos-from-a-4gb-usb-drive/#findComment-1403237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDoubles Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 yeah, i did notice that it did not play well with seven, try running it in compatibility mode with XP settings, since it does work with XP. I also get the boot.ini Faild message. Do I need boot.ini to be on the usb if I'm going to be using the USB to install iAtkos? Or can I just ignore that error? Sorry for the noob question. However, when rebooting my netbook with the USB that has iAtkos on it, I see a message that something is loading but it just hangs there...
