Naitogunjin Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hey guys I'm probably trying something impossible but here it is: I am trying to install Leopard on my Dell Inspiron 2650. I have searched my computer on this forum but with not much success. All the posts are at least 5 years old. My computer stats(what i know): HDD--------60GB Western Digital -------------DVD-RW Drive CPU--------Intel 02 (from a Compaq Evo Notebook N610c. Original CPU=Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor 400 MHz) VIDEO-----NVIDIA GeForce2 Go 100 I want to know if I can install Leopard on this machine or if i should go down to Tiger(if that will even work). I have tried to install leopard a half-dozen times already but the closest i get is it saying that the installation has completed and when it asks me to restart i do so and begin to load but i can never get pass the grey screen with the logo and the loading circle. So far the most successful versions are Ideneb v1.5 and Iatkos v7. But i do believe that I am not selecting the right things in the customize window before installing. Help on that would be great! If you have any tips for me or if you have accomplished such feat then let me know!
