Scorpion2k7 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Okay here is what I need to know; How to burn a bootalbe OS X CD for the PC. Once I have a bootalbe CD, what do I need other than that to get OS X to install. Audio, Video, Wireless, and any other Drivers that the nc6400 may need to complete the installation process If someone can please help out and point me in the right direction that would be a huge help. I do not like Windows, and I have been using OS X since I bought my iBook about 2 years ago. I like the interface and everything else that OS X has to offer, but I am having one heck of time getting to port over to the HP Compaq nc6400 laptop that I have... If you know of any technics that I should and can try please let me know...

Scorpion2k7 Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 I know how to burn CD's/DVD's that is simple, I just can't seem to make one the is bootalbe. I have the JaS Tiger 10.4.8.iso and also have a uphuck dvd image 10.4.9i image, both of which, according to some people that I have talked to, should be bootable for this machine. What else do I need to have? And to let you know, I was asking if there was anything specail I needed to do to get the CD/DVD to be bootable. I am using Roxio Toast Titanium, and have basically wasted 3 dvd+r's on this project already.

I hope for sake. LOL... Well if you have any info that would be a help to me please feel free to let me know... I can use all the help that I can get...

Corey Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I own an NC6400 notebook, there are a few problems with mine and OSX86 First, mine has a 3945 wireless card which is not yet fully supported (and the guy who was developing it no longer has a system to work on the driver with) Second, mine has an ATi mobility x1300 graphics card which is stuck at 1024x768 res instead of the more comfortable 1280x800 that it should be. I don't remember if my audio worked or not. The lan didn't work either. The built in bluetooth worked perfectly out of the box though which was nice.

Scorpion2k7 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Okay Corey, do you remember how you managed to install OS X on that laptop, I have tried everything that I know. I knew that this was going to be a little on the hard side but not like this... I mean what exactly do I need to do. I have everything that I am suppose to and apparently I am suppose to be able to boot to the DVD that I burned and still nothing... Please let me know.
