TempleOne Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hi! Sorry for my english. So I have an AMD processor. I just wanted to make sure, that this Kalyway AMD version 10.5.2 that I have will work with my PC? Actually, I want to dual boot it, I know how all the process goes, just need some confirmation, you know. Actually I thought that I will shrink about 20GB from my current C: with windows 7 and create a new volume or partition for mac. Will it work that way? So, here are my PC details: [got them from Lavalys Everest] *eMachines EL1300 *NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 (256 MB) *AMD Athlon 64 LE-1620, 2400 MHz (12 x 200) *nVIDIA nForce 6100-430 (MCP61P) a.k.a. Realtek ALC888/1200 - High Definition Audio Controller *Hitachi HDT721032SLA SCSI Disk Device Drive (298 GB) *1792 MB (DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM) *Optical Drive HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH40F SCSI CdRom Device *nVIDIA nForce 6100-430 (MCP61P) - LAN Controller (PHY: Marvell 88E1116R) PCI Network Adapter NVIDIA nForce Ethernet *Motherboard Name eMachines WMCP61M So please help me. And my question is: can I bother myself with installing Mac OS X leopard 10.5.2 kalyway version? Ty for your time. Edit: I also wanted to add that, I could not get further from erasing and formatting and partitioning. Every time I try to erase a partition, it just freezes to "Preparing to erase".

TheRealPorkchop Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I don't know about your hardware and I don't even know about the version you got. But I do know you better be prepared to do some reading, a lot of reading. And most likely, you won't get a working install on your first few tries. And you'll probably have to download other versions, like iDeneb 10.5.6 or iPC PPF5 Final 10.5.6 until you get one that will boot, install and reboot again. Read. Look for others with a setup like yours and see what they got working and what wouldn't. I can tell you that I went through 9 version until I found one that would "act right" on my HP AMD laptop. It's a lot of trial and error until you figure out the right combination. And it's a lot of reading until you find someone that has the knowledge to truly help you with their experience. I'd try one of the version I listed above if I were you. Read about PPF patching and all that good {censored}, cause you probably gonna have to do some patching to get your version to work right.

I have a HP Amd laptop too (pavilion dv6610en), but it didn't recognize any partitions or volume, and the hd itself in the mac os x installation in disk utility. My desktop problem: my problem is that, I don't know if it will work in my pc. I shrinked my windows C partition in Windows 7. Anyway, my problem is that I can't pass the format thing in installation. It freezez everytime, when I try to do hd formatting, and by the way, when I selected the language (then pressed continue, all my hard drives showed a red "!" on them. I tested to format them in ntfs, fat-32, or non-formatted - nothing worked. ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/206086-need-some-confirmation-not-how-to-install-mac-on-pc-actually-im-in-touble/#findComment-1378838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TempleOne Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 I don't know what I did, but now I get stuck booting dvd: Still waiting for root device. I have tried all possible options (F8 + command). Not working. Well, I guess, mac os x isn't ment for my pc. OH well.
