Dom (us) Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi all, I am really excited to be able to find a way to load Leopard onto my PC. Problem is I tried downloading 2 ISO using bittorrent but both has IO Errors within the .zip file. I found the article where it mentioned that winrar had to be used for windows. Anyone got any help. I am new to bittorrent. At this point I would buy a copy of Leopard and hack it, but I read you had to do this within MAC OS. So any suggestions or help?? Thanks, Dominic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieN Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Winzip or winrar should both work, have you checked the file extension of the file you downloaded? it could be .iso already but just open up in winrar/zip because it set's it to by default (it should still open nontheless).

insomnimac Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Since you've got an Intel system I'd try either an iatkos or kalyway intel DVD. Look in the usual spots for them. Read some guides on installing them in the threads dedicated to those releases and see if anyone with your hardware has any problems and how they overcame them. For your mobo that would be this thread here... http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=69705 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohkahn Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi Insomnimac, do you mean to say, that the downloaded image must be unzipped / unrar-ed by me, before being burned to the physical disc? I downloaded kalyway, and burned it as an iso image withou unzipping. My system is set to boot from dvdrom, but my system does not pick it. Did I do something wrong. I still have the kalyway image on my desktop, please advise right way and right steps of burning it, so that it can be bootable. thank you.

insomnimac Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Depends which DVD you downloaded. If it's zipped up or rared then you must unrar, if it's an .iso file then just burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
