sendmarksmail Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hey everyone, hopefully I put this topic in the right place. Sorry if I didn't. I just got an HP dv6500t and just wanted to know if I could install the OS X Leopard natively. Not the hacked version. Here are my specs: 15.4" Widescreen 1280x800 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz Intel GM965 Chipset Nvidia 128MB 8400M GS Videocard Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN and Bluetooth LightScribe 8x DVD+/-RW So I was wondering if anyone has the same setup and was able to install the original OS X Leopard DVD purchased from the store. That would be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sendmarksmail Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 _:_M-F-D-K_:_, the notebook has almost the same components as the mac no? Also, it has an Intel mobo and processor. Any reason why not? Please let me know. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selayan Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 You can buy a leo dvd original from Apple, and then extract it to ur pc and patch it. Or you can download any of the leo dvd's that are already patched and that should work. But if you buy the Dvd from Apple, it will have to be extracted on a Mac and patched there as well.

OrochiEX Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I managed to get it working on a samsung Q70 with very similar specs, the wifi and ethernet dont work for me though, and i am not too bothered to look for any fixes just yet. Rest works fine though. EDIT: with the hacked version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to be rude, but what would be the point of this forum (and macs) if you could just install OS X on a pc right from the apple store.

Korrupted Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 If by the "hacked" version you mean back in the days of 10.4.8 and below, where we had to wait ages for new kernels, you don't have to do that anymore if you use a modern core duo or core 2 duo PC. You can run Apple's stock driver and kernel without hacks now. The only "hacks" being used are PC_EFI, dsmos.kext, and any other system specific patches you may need, if you can even call those hacks, as well as the patches needed to boot the DVD.

sendmarksmail Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 So DaxTsuguri, are you saying that I could install the original retail OS X Leopard software on my Intel Core 2 Duo Santa Rosa and GM965 chipset? It does use the same as the macbook pro's doesn't it? So I figure the drivers will work on this HP notebook? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
