Or use a DVD. I remember using a DVD of SL and nawcoms mod cd when I first started. As for the emojis. You can put a space inbetween so they don't show... : P Was great times my friend!!

Max.1974 Posted January 18, 2025 Share Posted January 18, 2025 @Pwnz0rServer2009 I think you will need test in VM or something like that.

David Guy Posted January 18, 2025 Share Posted January 18, 2025 Just thought I'd tell you a couple.of months ago I put snow leopard on my dell d830 laptop very similar specs I think the only way I could get mine to do what you are wanting was with a dvd that I made from the file and then it worked perfectly Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/360486-hackintosh-distros-dont-work-on-my-laptop-d/page/2/#findComment-2829738 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenTheAppleKitty Posted January 20, 2025 Author Share Posted January 20, 2025 i finally got the isos and DMGs to work just by shoving them into a easy2boot USB (suprised i didn't try that faster), but there's still some problems ideneb 1.3 got error-icon-on-the-apple-leaf'd and e2b didn't like the way iATKOS ML was partitioned and refused to boot it 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/360486-hackintosh-distros-dont-work-on-my-laptop-d/page/2/#findComment-2829764 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max.1974 Posted January 21, 2025 Share Posted January 21, 2025 8 horas atrás, Pwnz0rServer2009 disse: atualização, o resultado do ideneb é o único adequado, todos os outros foram o resultado de isos corrompidos ...e agora? Como faço para consertar? (a última mensagem do console antes que o sistema desligue reclama que ele não consegue ver o modo de segurança firewire e que ele é padrão totalmente seguro) Sorry for not having all the knowledge in memory, as my old PCs are no longer available. I believe some here can go forward in memory and try to remember. Good luck anyway. Greetings.

SevenTheAppleKitty Posted March 16, 2025 Author Share Posted March 16, 2025 I guess I'll reuse this thread for my (hopefully working) burst of motivation to hackintosh My hard drive is currently split for 2 OSes. 186 GiB for Windows 7 and 46 GiB for Linux mint (I'm planning to replace Linux Mint with a hackintosh : P ) it's been a while, so I'm quite nooby again. What's the easiest way to hackintosh this ancient (and uncommonly problem attracting, apparently) laptop while keeping windows 7 completely intact? (I need it for a hobby) Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/360486-hackintosh-distros-dont-work-on-my-laptop-d/page/2/#findComment-2830940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
