rlith Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Ok... I have an hp dv9287cl laptop. Specs: Dual core centrino 2 gig ram 2 125 gig SATA drives Geforce go 7800 w/256 megs ram (dedicated, not shared) usual suspects of internal peripherals. Now I know I'm probably going to have to use an external USB drive to load osx on, my question is what image should I use?

Mr. Bond Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I'm assuming you mean a DVD image. First of all, why an external drive? If you have the time, it might be wise to partition of one of those two 125gig drives, and follow one of the Genious Bar's guides on multi-booting Windows/OS X. Not only is it easier then lugging around an external drive for OS X, but will be faster as well. Then again, if you're simply looking to try out OS X, an external drive is a good place to start. You might want to try getting one of JaS's 10.4.8 bootable install DVD's, and giving that a try.

rlith Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 My understanding was that most of the images have problems recognizing SATA drives and that the CD and primary hd must me on the same controller for the install... Am I wrong in this assumption? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47169-which-image-for-my-hpdv9287cl/#findComment-338308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
