what tools do i need to install os x 10.5 (or .6) retail on my samsung r510 laptop?

[fiona]

hi all,

 

i want to install os x retail on my r510 but i am a noob and extremely right-brained, and after reading and reading for days i still don`t understand the basics of what i need to use/do to get this working.

 

i have the following:

 

boot 132 cd

kabyl bumby boot cd

boot dfe

 

apple 10.4 retail for macbook

copy of 10.5 retail leopard

copy of 10.5.6 retail

copy of 10.6 retail snow leopard (all copies are functioning on macs)

 

samsung r510 pkg

 

virgin wd scorpio blue 320gb sata 5400rpm hdd

 

what tools am i missing? do i need to slipstream the bootloader with something? any bios settings i need to change? do i need an os x disc specifically for macbook, or will any type work? i appreciate copies are not great.

 

i have tried all combinations of bootloaders/osx`s listed above. after booting from bootloader disc, pressing enter, i put in os x dvd and press enter, the white apple logo screen flashes for a second, then the machine restarts.

 

when i put in os x 10.4 for macbook, some info runs on the screen, then it`s all greyed out with the message `you need to restart your computer`. which i cant do as i`m on a pc. tried plugging apple keyboard in, performing restart with shortcuts, powering off to a dead machine, nothing works.

 

please note i don`t expect anyone to do the legwork, but i would so appreciate someone simply telling me what tools they used to get it working.

 

fiona.

tonight i am going to restore os to usb stick, install the r510 .pkg to it, and try boot from that with boot132.

wow

 

what overwhelming responses in our exclusive `new users lounge`. help for those who need it most!

 

well, i managed to get os x up and running, with two problems:

 

ethernet not working

wireless not working

 

i tried replacing kexts specifically said to solve this problem, and now my ethernet and wireless have completely disappeared from the network config sidebar.

 

i will post what i had to do to get os x installed (mainly bios settings) and if i get internet working ill also post how.

 

off to macgeeks to see if i can get any info there.

 

 

followed installation guide: Hackintosh Tutorial: Install a Mac Leopard OS X Retail DVD on a PC http://menoob.com/hackintosh/hackintosh-in.../#ixzz13I25iYHd

 

and got laptop drivers installed via this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1106223

 

have a samsung r510 laptop. this method worked for me with 10.5.6 retail, downloaded combo update to 10.5.8, and r560_system_drivers_10.5.8. all i had to do was change my bios settings to:

 

intel speedstep: enabled

legacy os boot: disabled

legacy usb support:enabled

large disk access mode: other

achi mode control: manual

native ahci mode: enabled

edb: enabledusb s3wake-up: enabled

boot device priority: 1. dvdrom, 2. hard disk

brightness control: manual (still doesnt work in os x but does before i load into os)

 

prior to installation i received the error image telling me to replace batteries in my wireless mouse (tho i only had a trackpad connected) so i plugged in my usb wireless mouse en voila- i could install. i also attached a usb apple keyboard and wl mouse as the installer wouldn't recognise my keyboard and mouse until the update and r560 driver pkg.

 

straight away i went to system preferences>energy saver>computer&display sleep: never, disable hard disk sleep. the reason being it went to sleep after the installation before i could update to 10.5.8 so i had to start again.

 

after update to 10.5.8 i didn't restart, but installed r560_system_drivers_10.5.8 from some russian site, then restarted.

 

also the update hanged for a while at 2 mins remaining, just wait it out, for me it eventually finished installing.

 

now i just have to get internet working on it..........
