Ronaldinio Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 So basically i've been downloading this iso of an AMD Leopard from Pirates Bay for 2 weeks now, and I've been so excited for it, and when the time finally comes, and i unzip, and burn the ISO to a dvd, something goes wrong So here are my system specs: HP Pavilion dv9500 Series (It's a 9623ca) Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 ~2.00 GHz Chipset & Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 7150m / nForce 630m (I Hate shared graphics cards...) 1982 MB Ram 32 Bit Vista Ultimate (patched, no activation DELL) I boot from the dvd, and when I use disk utility, I don't see my hard drives I only see my dvd drive with the disc inside. Can anyone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie11c Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 You are up the creek unless you have an external USB drive as the SATA disks will most likely not be supported straight off the DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie11c Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Edit: sorry didn't realize you said 4gig. You need at least 6 to install Leopard i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyper Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 You have got only one option and that is to buy an external HD to install Leopard and boot from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Huang Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I don't know that my laptop is similar to yours, but it's an HP Pavilion dv2416us. It has a Turion Processor as well... what I did was I reformatted the HD to FAT32 and when I try to install, it sees my laptop, only thing is, I still can't have it boot. I've successfully installed iAtkos v4a but still can't boot it up. I think it has to do with the partitions and because my HD always makes an MBR Partition regardless of whether I repartition it to GUID via Apple's Disk Util.

Dont Set it to GUID LEAVE IT AT mbr in disk utility.
