mroarsome Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Hey Guys, I have been looking into turning my old laptop into a hackintosh. Its a compaq presario v5000. I was just wondering if it were possible to use the leapord DVD that came with my shiney new iMac to patch? I live in NZ -a land of slow internet, and I don't want to wait 5-7 days for something to download and find it doesnt work as well as I had hoped. All I really want to know, is if I use this CD will it affect my iMac? Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSXtotheZ Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 the short answer is no u can not use an original Leopard disk to install on a hackintosh. You must use a modified installer like ToH or Brazilmac. (unless you know how to do your own extraction and patching of an original install disk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyKL Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Download BrazilMac patch (~14MB) and apply it to the original Leopard DVD and then install from the patched image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
