Scully Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Somebody gave me their HP Pavilion a6010e after I convinced them to get a Mac, and rather than disposing of it, I'd like to see if I can install OS X 10.5 or 10.6 on it. I haven't seen any posts describing that being done here, so I'm wondering if it's easily doable, and if so, how. I know the HP has a 2.2 Ghz Athlon processor and an ASUS motherboard, but that's it. So if anybody has done this and made it work, I'd like to hear about it, and exactly how to do it on this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Sorry about that. I fixed the link. Okay, I got the ModCD image and burned it to a CD, but after looking at it, inside one of the folders on the image (and now the CD, too) is a .dmg file. Is that supposed to be decompressed at some point, and if not, why is it there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that supposed to be decompressed at some point, and if not, why is it there? That dmg file is interpreted by the ModCD during bootup. Do not worry about any of the files on the disc. The dmg contains the patcher and extra packages for OSx86 installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
