Khan_Man Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Do you want to use Leopard or Snow Leopard? For your setup I would recommend Kakewalk (search the site) and retail snow leopard. I used the disc version and it was so easy it was scary. It does mean you have to have a retail copy of Snow Leopard though. If you want to use Leopard I would recommend a DFE.iso boot disk, retail install and Chameleon. In the bios you do need to set the SATA ports to AHCI. I would stay away from IDE as support is getting scarce. In any case you have a lot of reading and research to do. Khan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan_Man Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 When I say retail that means buying a copy of Snow Leopard from Apple. I'm sure you could download a retail copy of SL from the usual sites but... its nice to give Apple their due. The ISO you're suggesting is probably a hacked disc though you'd have to read the description to find that out. As to Kakewalk... I'd read the thread. Lots of good stuff there.
