Rammjet Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Depends upon what options are available. Click on the little arrow next to the patches category. Select Intel or AMD packages, not both. Select SSE2 or SSE3, not both, depending upon the capability of your processor. Select the Combo Update to get the latest version of OSX. Select other packages only if you are sure your computer can use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Do you think I would have typed all this out if the answer is, "Oh, well it doesn't really matter, go ahead and choose all of them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macuser9214 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 Hey, don't be rude. I'm just asking for help. Do I have to repartition? I heard partitioning in the 10.4.5 DVD doesnt work. so i used the 10.4.1. DVD to partition. Do i have to start over FROM THE BEGINNING? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Just repeat the installation. Go to the Utilities menu and use Disk Utility to erase your partition. Select the partition and then go and Customize and then Install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Just like you should have done in the initial installation. Fire up Disk Utility. On the left, select the OSX partition. On the right, click the Erase tab. Change the name to what you want the name of the partition to be Make sure it is set to format as MacOS Extended Journaled Click the Erase button Quit Disk Utility.

macuser9214 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 And I can do this in the 10.4.5 disk? because i know u cant partition using this disk. ALSO: I think the 533w is a SSE2 but how do I make sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 You really shouldn't partition with any of the installer DVD's. You are running on a PC with BIOS that expects the partitions to conform to the PC partition scheme of MBR. None of the Disk Utility's on the installer DVD's can do that. Once you install, the installed Disk Utility can do it if you click the Option button in Partition, but it is a little late then. You should partition your drive using a Windows/Linux disk/partition utility. You should create the partition for OSX as primary and, if possible, set its type to AF. Also set the OSX partition as "active". It doesn't hurt to format the partition as FAT32. Then you are ready to install. There are an assortment of installation guides found on the board and here: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...allation_Guides In Windows, download CPU-Z and run it to determine if SSE2 or SSE3.

macuser9214 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 oh well. too late. i hope it still works. FUC* i got the B0 error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 b0 error means you need to set the OSX partition "active". You can use any Windows/Linux disk/partition utility or use Fdisk built into OSX: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=22844 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
