CooSee Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 hello, you should edit your BIOS settings and set SATA option to ' AHCI ' ! also disable all unneeded stuff like ' Serial ', ' Parallel ', ' FireWire' , etc. ! please read the OSX86 WiKi ! OSX86 WiKi ! no offence, but don't be so lazy, it took me just 5 sec. to find these for example: First ! Second ! search for ' dell 1764 osx86 ' and you'll find more, IMHO !!!

CooSee Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 you're welcome, i am getting the error in installation log of basepackage install fail maybe your DVD is corrupted, try to burn another one at the lowest speed ! but you can't expect that there's a one klick solution, because OSX isn't made for PCs and every PC or Notebook is different and the mainstream PCs or Notebooks are really useless piece of {censored}, IMHO ! it's also depending on the skills of the user ! i know you're excited to use this stuff, but please be patient and read, read, read ! without knowledge there's no success the internet is a huge library, so " TAKE IT " (as a memento of Dexter ) ! just my two cents CooSee ' Ya Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/238679-help/#findComment-1596235 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin gtx Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 well after much trial and error and lots of error i have cracked it at last i now have leopard 1.5.8 running with the anv kernel the only problem is that i followed the guide on how to dual boot it with windows 7 which works so that it come with windows boot loader and ask which i want osx or win 7 but it does boot straight to it the only way i can get it to work is having the iAtkos s3 v2 and selecting system reserved to go to the windows bootloader does any body know a way round this? cheers Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/238679-help/#findComment-1597100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
