ImTheOne Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Okay, first of all I'm new to the whole hackintosh scene so im learning as I go. I have found this guide http://suprbay.org/showthread.php?p=74513 and it had a link for a torrent on it, so I read the guide and realized it was what I was looking for. So I started the download and started reading around the web and have found various types or have heard of them I have not once seen download links for anything. Anyways my torrent is at like 52% and decided I should probably post on this forum and see if I had the right version and if my computer would be able to run Leopard, or if I should step down and run Tiger first. So my first question is, is this a valid version and is that a correct guide that would work and not mess my computer all up. Second question is my computer able to run ANY version of OSx86 I posted a link to my results of running CPU-Z. And I would just like to say thank you if you can or can't help me. Thanks for your effort.

3vilution Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Um, i would try tiger first but its up to you. You probably will be able to run it. Not sure yet until you download it and burn it and try it. Then let us know what happens. Ok?

Cause i have a separate HDD im putting it on so i just swap my HDDs and pop it in my drive and let it boot right?

3vilution Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I would suggest using imgburn you can download it free. and burn it at slowest speed. And then boot from it. Good Luck!

timdsmith Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Right...In WinBloze and Linux both, the DVD will appear to only have 3 or 4 files totaling just a few Kb...This is normal. It will still work. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/74080-help-with-leopard/#findComment-524234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImTheOne Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 Ok it didnt work here is the screen im getting. I have tryed it booting with my normal comp and i get the same thing so i did it in VMware so i could take a screenshot of it. Im not sure whats going on. Hope you can help me. Looks like i may end up having to go with Tiger instead or i there something im doing wrong or is there anything i can do to fix my problem. Oo and thanx for the answer about that earlier question we figured that out after a while and figured windows just could read the files so it was only showing the boot files of the DvD. heres the screen shot: http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa252/J...One/dgnsdgn.jpg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/74080-help-with-leopard/#findComment-524241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
3vilution Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Ok in the screenshot it says "SAM MULTIMEDIA: READ OR WRITE FAILED", that means your dvd not working. Either its burned incorectly or its having problems reading it. Try Using slowest burn speed. Restoring it to a partition is also the best way too if you cant get the dvd to work.

ImTheOne Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 Well when i was using VMware i was using the straight ISO off my computer. But with the DvD it was doing the same thing.. please dont tell me my Leopard is corrupt..
