pcmantinker Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 The HD that I'm installing it to is an IDE 200GB Seagate Barricuda. I have an SATA 320GB Seagate Barricuda where I boot Windows XP from. Mac doesn't see my windows partition becuase it's NTFS. I have formatted my 200GB hard drive with the FAT32 file system so that Mac setup can see the partition. I have burned the image in PowerISO and ImgBurn, but I haven't tried Nero 8 yet. I will try that now and let you know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a nother HD (IDE) I tried to install Leopard in but I can't see it when I try to install Leopard, and I have SATA (500GB) I can't format it with Leopard it will give me timeout error.

pcmantinker Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I formatted my HD with Windows Disk Utility. Leopard can see my disk fine. I just get an error when the installer is about 10% done. I have reburned the DVD at 12x with Nero Burning Rom 8 and verified the data. When the verification got to 95%, it came back with read errors at certain sector ranges. They were typically 10-20 sectors apart. I will try installing again, but if this doesn't work, I'll try burning at a slower speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcmantinker Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 It has downloaded 100%. I just realized that the image that I just burned and tried to verify was corrupt. I am burning the correct one now and having Nero verify after completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcmantinker Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Ok, the install was successful! Now I have to write the MBR boot record to make it bootable. I am going to follow this procedure: sudo -s fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX --->(X is the number of your HD, if you have only on its 0) update f X --->(X is the number of the partition where you installed Leopard) w q reboot EDIT: Boots fine. Now to install PS2 keyboard support. EDIT: Keyboard works. Now to add sound, video and network drivers. I noticed that the mach_kernel loads slowly. Is there a better kernel available that I can use with Zephiroth's Mac OsX86? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcmantinker Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Network was successfully installed. I still need to install sound and video though. I have these: nVidia 5200 FX Sound Blaster Audigy I have looked for drivers regarding these devices, but haven't found any yet. If anyone knows of how to install these, I would appreciate it.
