Ferbsen Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 i would say its SATA. i did format my HDD with disk utilities ( i erased the partition...) but how do i format as HFS+?! do i have to choosse that setting?! if yes, how? Is your HDD SATA or IDE? (Those are the name of interfaces.) When you install OS X, did you format your HDD as HFS+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maconvert Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I just tried out OSX86, and I had a perfect install (just had to swap my DVD to a SATA version). Hello, Do I “have” to use a SATA DVD in order to get this to work, or can I use the IDE DVD that I currently have? Please let me know. Cheers.

Frodos Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I am trying to install Kalyway 10.5.2 on an HP dv6605us with AMD. I have no problem loading from the dvd into the installer. Once I get into the installer and disk utilities I can't see any of my partitions. I used Ubuntu to create a three partitions: 1 NFTS, 1 FAT32 and 1 Unformated partition. The only things that I see in the disk utility is the DVD. I notice during boot that there was a message about waiting for the root disk but that seems to resolve fairly quickly. Please help. I have looked everywhere and have no been able to find anything about dealing with my issue and have seen plenty of people with similar computers succeeding.

CalmEnvy Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hey everyone! I've been thinking of installing the iATKOS version on my Windows PC. I use my MacBook more then I use my Windows machine now and fell like doing something with it. The only thing is I've never done this before and am not sure if I need specific hardware. Here's my PC: CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E4300/1.80GHz Motherboard - ASRock ConRoe 1333-D667/945 GC Ram - OCZ 2GB Dual- Channel DDR2 @ 667MHz HDD - Seagate 320GB SATA Video Card - ATI Radeon X1650 Pro DVD Burner - LG SATA DVD Drive I just don't want there to be any problems and if your wondering ASRock is owned by ASUS. It's like there cheaper brand but they are great quality boards. So hopefully someone can tell me if I may have any problems with this and the iATKOS version. Thanks!

Ken Almazan Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 What is the difference between a GUID Partition Map and the MBR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stravaganza Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 What is the difference between a GUID Partition Map and the MBR? GPT (GUID Partition Table) is a partition scheme that allows up to 128 logical partitions on a physical hard disc. You can add, resize, and remove partitions while you are using the hard disc. In other words, you can boot from an operating system installed on a GPT partition and change the table. Both of Microsoft Windows Vista and Apple Mac OS X v10.5 are capable of understanding GPT partitioned hard discs. MBR (Master Boot Record) is a partition scheme that allows up to 4 logical partitions on a physical hard disc. Such a restriction led to ugly hacks, which allow more partitions within a MBR partition with particular type. You cannot change the record without unmounting the whole MBR partitioned hard disc first. In other words, you need to boot from an operating system which is not sitting on the MBR partitioned hard disc to change the record. This is an age-old technology which Microsoft Windows XP uses. Not recommended to use this partition scheme unless it is absolutely necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acer Aspire 5315 Intel Celeron 540M x64 Intel GMA X3100 Intel HDA (ALC268) Broadcom 4311 Wireless Broadcom NetLink LAN Installed Kalyway 10.5.2 after latest Bios update.
