xicarusx Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I am working on installing SL on my laptop with a dual boot to Windows 7 Ultimate. My specs are here Specifications Processor Intel Core 2 Duo P7470 2.13GHz Hard Drive 320GB (7200RPM) in Bay 1 and Bay 2 80GB 5400 RPM HDD Screen Size 15.6" HD (1366x768) RAM 4GB DDR2 667Mhz Optical Drive DVD SuperMulti with Light Scribe Direct Disc Labeling Yes Graphics Card NVIDIA 9800M GS with 512MB GDDR3 VRAM Built in Wireless Networking Intel 5100 802.11 a/g/n Webcam/Microphone 1.3MP Webcam / Built-in Microphone Notebook Weight 7.2lbs Battery 6-Cell Other Features Altec Lansing Speakers, secondary OLED Screen, numeric keypad Inputs/Outputs 1 x Express Card, 4 x USB 2.0, 1 x IEEE 1394, 1 x VGA, 1 x HDMI So far I know that my wireless card isn't supported, so I have an express card wireless. Second, how should I configure IDE in BIOS, Enhanced, RAID, or Compatible. I need to know what to do first install SL or Win 7. Will SL support my video card and audio out of the box? I want to get a thread going for my fellow G50VT owners. I know I can't be the only person to try this. Let me know if you have tried, and I will update with things I try and fail on.

Rhinosal Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 any success with this? thinking about trying to install on my own machine... OK So here is what you do- Download, print the guide and use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (NVIDIA) flavor to install snow Leopard= I had no issues with install, and in fact typing this message in OSX... So the only things that do not work are the camera and the wireless, and no loss on the camera I don't use it anyway,and I hear you can swap the intel mini pci out for an older supported card. Only issue I had was restarts cause KP's from time to time...
