ndtechie05 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I'm thinking of purchasing this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1134702110773 today and putting OS X on it. Does anyone have any success or stories of it being installed on this machine? Thanks.

Metrogirl Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I have no idea if it will work or not - but interestingly Apple were trying to get Sony designers to help them in the Intel transition last year: http://www.maconintel.com/news.php?article=36 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8533-os-x-install-on-new-sony-vaio-core-duo/#findComment-53176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndtechie05 Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 I know it has been awhile but i would like to update. I bought this machine and unfortunetly the HDD is not recognized by the OS X installer. Its pretty weird.

Metrogirl Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Is there no drive shown in the install screen, or is it shown but not available? You may have to use Disk Utility (in the top menu bar) to prepare the disk. Let us know what you see when you try to install it. Note that Sony use a hidden partition to store their recovery information. Bump this topic if it's a while before you get back as it will drop off the radar...
