Cartman02AU Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Hi, I have just purchased a Compaq Presario C700 notebook to replace my tired old G3 iBook which I was running OS X 10.3 on. I am interested in dual-booting OS X and Vista on it and wasn't too sure whether to try for Leopard via EFI, JAS' tiger or something else. The specs of machine are: Intel Penitum Dual core T2310 1GB DDR II 120 GB SATA HDD (in AHCI mode, doesn't seem to be a setting in BIOS to change it ) PATA DVD-RW Intel 925 Chipset and video Realtek RTL8139 NIC Broadcom wireless LAN Thanks, C02.

Cartman02AU Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 Well I jumped in the deep end and went ahead and gave it ago. I tried ToH RC2 (which installed but wouldn't boot) and ended up using the leopard-x86-flat-img release. It works well apart from my video which only displays on an external monitor. I have deleted the AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext to get it to display on my in-built screen. Unfortunately it means I can't run the widescreen resolution and am stuck at 1024x768. The only other annoyance is that to use the inbuilt ALPS trackpad I have to turn it off while booting and activate it once Leopard has loaded. EDIT: I should also mention that I have no battery meter Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/74878-osx86-noob-some-questions/#findComment-530861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
