famousginni Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Well, this is my second attempt at installing OSX86. My first attempt failed miserably, (My Hard Drive Died - Kalyway 10.5.2). I am installing iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 (No its not the Dual Layer Version) It would be nice if anyone can help me install it. These are the specs for my computer: Motherboard: ASUS P5N73-AM (nVidea GeForce 7050 / nForce 610i) CPU: Intel Dual Core CPU E2200 2.20 GHz. Memory: 2.00GB CD-ROM: LG DVD-ROM DRD8160B ATA Device HDD: Hitachi HDP725050GLA360 ATA Device (500 GB) * Partition 1: Windows 7 (78.13GB NTFS) * Partition 2: Empty Space for OSX86 (39.06GB Un-Formatted) * Partition 3: Documents, Multimedia (329.04GB NTFS) * Partition 4: Music (19.53GB NTFS) I have Windows 7 installed. I have the iPC 10.5.6 DVD Burned Ready-to-go. Can I have Windows 7 installed on a NTFS partition? What setting should I boot OSX86 with (-v?) What should I format the partition to? HFS? What things should I install? (Drivers, Kernels? ) How can I dual-boot it? (Windows 7, OSX) Any drivers (kexts) I need to install to have everything working?

famousginni Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Ok, I burned the DVD. (iPC 10.5.6) Booted it with the following settings in my BIOS. SATA = AHCI HDD S.M.A.R.T = ON and everything else set to normal. I booted with the -v flag After a 30 seconds The "Still Waiting For Root Device Error" pops up and nothing happens after that. I really want to get this working, so if you can help me please do. I know for a fact that others have also gotten this to working with the same Chipset as mine, but after googling i haven't had much luck.
