toyotascionxd Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I have a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 mobo and a core I5-750 processor. I did not overclock this. I went to this website. http://www.infoomatic.com/guide-install-ma...ow-leopard.html. Unfortunately I was not successful in installing the mac os on my pc. Just to let you know. I don't have a retail copy of mac osx. I downloaded a copy from demonoid.com. Tony mac informed me that I should get a retail version. So I bought one from ebay and it would arrive early next week. I have several questions before I proceed again with the installation 1. On the bios setup. I should select cd rom as the first boot option. In the integrated peripherals menu I should set PCH SAtA control mode and ESATA control mode to AHCI instead of IDE. Under power management I should select put HPET mode into 64bit. These are the correct settings right? 2. I don't know which loader should I use. Should I use Iatkos 7, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] ATI, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Supported (Vanilla install), Empire EFI. Which among the four is easy to use? 3. I have a 1.5 TB Seagate Hard drive. When I get to the part that I have to partition my hard drive. Can I just make two partitions one for MAC OSX and the other partition would be just an empty space? Do I need to install win7 on the second partition. Do I really need to partition? I prefer using only one hard drive. 4. MAC OSX 10.6.3 comes with imovie and iphoto right? Thanks. I'll be waiting for your replies.

minoli Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I have a similar board, the UP4A and been trying to install Snow Leopard on it. So far I could only get to the 'Select language' screen. My mouse and keyboard won't work. So I couldn't do much. Anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance.
