Installing to netbook

[geoffpalmeruk]

Ok, new install time...

I understand people have had osx installed on asus netbooks before.

For some reason my computer boots up as far as the grey screen with the apple on it and then re-boots... i've tried pressing F8 and entering various commands i found online:

-cpus=1,

-legacy,

-vanilla,

-v,

but none of these work, it still gets that far (-legacy made it go a little further but ended up with kernal panic?)

 

i'm trying to install iAtkos from usb memory stick onto a partition on my internal HDD.

I followed this guide to mount iAtkos to the usb drive...

Windows via USB Drive (tested in Windows XP)

1. Hook up your external Hard-Drive to your computer. Go to Start and right click on My Computer. Click Manage. On the left side, go to Disk Management.

2. Click on your External Hard-Drive. Then click 'Delete'.THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING ON THE EXTERNAL HARD-DRIVE!. Once that is complete, go to Start and right click on My Computer. Click Manage. On the left side, go to Disk Management. Once again, click on your External Hard-Drive.

3. Click on 'Format'. Click next, and make sure you set the partition size to about 6GB.

4. Let it finish, then download the file linked 5 lines below. It is a handy utility for Windows that will help you put iATKOS v7 on an external Hard-Drive. Open the file and click 'ddmac' and English_GUI. On 'ddmac', don't be alarmed if it looks strange (this is why you need the English_GUI).

5. Follow the instructions in the English_GUI on the ddmac. It is pretty straightforward. Click the start button, and let it do its thing. DO NOT CLICK THE DDMAC! I have found that if you click it, it messes up.

6. After that, reboot your mini, and press f9. Select your External Hard-Drive, and hit enter. Mac OSX installer should start.
