silent99 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi, I have the 4520 whith atlhon X2 processor, the way for install OSx86 Leopard (Zephyro version) is: 1. Bios Setup change value for HDD disk for OHCI 2. Conect the HDD disk in usb port (whith usb adapter) 3. Insert OSX86 Leopard disk, and install in the usb disk 4. Reinsert the HDD disk in the laptop and its working (except Wifi, Sound, touchpad and Video) needs the installation disk for boot I hope working for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpranojo Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I suggest you guys use either Kalyway 10.5.2 Intel/AMD or iDeneb v1.6 Lite Edition. You might want to choose iDeneb because it boots faster that Kalyway. Right now I am still on the look for a solution to my audio and graphics..

KTownEgghead Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 iDeneb 1.6 Lite? I honestly have no clue which version I'm using... let me find the file... oh wait, it's on my other computer that isn't working ATM because of a boot issue Anywho, I'm using an Acer 4520... hoping to be a full on Hackintosh user soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
