Jaredish Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I downloaded the TPB "Zephyroth" AMD Leopard. I extracted all 71 .rar's and got the .iso. I burned it using PowerISO at x4 speed and popped the DVD in my pc. It wont boot. Help?

Tommy P Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 hi, i have a pretty similar problem. i have the iso, but cant get a burning program that will burn a bootable dvd over 2gb and zephyroth is 4.something GB, how did you manage it (if you did) thanks, Tom.

Tommy P Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 ok, im really lost here. (as im not a computer guy) heres my situation. i downloaded the zephyroth iso that is 4.37GB. now this is the part im stuck on. im guessing i have to burn it as a 'Bootable' dvd but i tried nero and that wont let me as 2gb is the biggest it will let me, and i have also tried magiciso and that is the same, on letting me do burn under 2gb. :S is there another way i could burn it but it still being bootable?

Tommy P Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Im sorry to be a pain but could someone give me a quick walkthrough on how you burn these large bootable files and which program used (nero etc) ??? this is what i get when i try and load it: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r254/pepper-1990/amd.jpg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87958-zephyroth-amd-burn/#findComment-784582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_max04 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hey try this just go to the ISo file and double click on it and see if that works.. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87958-zephyroth-amd-burn/#findComment-784610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy P Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 all it does is put the iso into magic-iso and its labelled as NON BOOTABLE. when you use nero, do you just burn it as a data DVD or a bootable DVD, because i can get it burn as a data dvd fine but it doesnt work when i try and boot it.

cgsheen Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 sigh... An ".iso" file is a disk image - it's used to take ALL of the thousands of files that make up the installation disk and pack them into ONE "easy to transfer" file. When YOU get it, you need to "unpack" that image and get all those files back onto a DVD. Nero will do that easily. Even if YOU don't know how, Nero does. That's why "ken_max04" said above "just double click the .iso file you have". If Nero is installed properly, doing that will start Nero AND have it in the proper "mode" to recreate and burn the original DVD. All you have to do is have a blank DVD in the drive and push the "Burn" button... BUT, it's easy to do yourself if you already have Nero OPEN. FORGET the "disc burning wizard"! PRESS CANCEL. At the main Nero Burning ROM screen, choose OPEN (not New)! Select your .iso file! It'll know how to burn the DVD - let it. ================== Your " but i tried nero and that wont let me as 2gb is the biggest it will let me, ... " is an entirely different discussion - that has little-to-nothing to do with your ".iso" disk image and EVERYTHING to do with the differences in the ISO and UDF formats for burning a DVD...

Tommy P Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 hi, i have a second problem now, when i burn the dvd it says its burning the full 4.37gb but when its all done i check whats actually on it and its only got about 5 files all called boot something (nothing like whats displayed in the downloaded iso). so when i try and boot off it it starts up saying 'loading darwin' (or something to that effect) but then retsarts and boots back into windows xp. All i guess is that the boot files that are burnt onto the dvd are right, but the burn software isnt backing it up with the actual leopard file. ive tried it in 2 burning programs, nero express and magiciso and both only burn the 5 or 6 "boot type programs. thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87958-zephyroth-amd-burn/#findComment-790363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_max04 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 exactly because all the files are osx files u wont be able to see it on Windows.. if you get to burn try to boot it now Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87958-zephyroth-amd-burn/#findComment-790403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy P Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 it wont boot, it says 'loading darwin' then the little spinning things goes for a bit then the whole thing restarts and boots back into windows. i tried pressing F8 when it asks and it gives me the option to start in Leopard.10.5.2.amd so i press enter and it just does the same, spinny thing, then restarts into xp. :/ what am i doin wrong?

DoiX Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 @Tommy P: First thing, Welcome to the forums second, post your specs...and try burning the iso image with imgburn it's free and powerful, burn it at x4 on a good DVD+R media.All my zephyroth iso's are burned on dvd+r, -r gives me boot errors Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87958-zephyroth-amd-burn/#findComment-790847 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that probably means you burned the DVD correctly - it's booting off the DVD AND trying to run the Darwin bootloader. It's more likely that OSx86 doesn't like your hardware. As DoiX said above: you're going to need to list all your hardware specs - the more info the better. And what installation DVD did you finally end up with? Zephyroth? Which version? (10.5.1, 10.5.2v1, 10.5.2v2?) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87958-zephyroth-amd-burn/#findComment-791120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy P Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 right im not that high up on computers but ill give it my best shot.AMD quad 95504gb ramAsrock NF7 motherboard250gb sataII hddnforce 7050 256mb graphicsthe version im using is 10.5.2 (i would assume its v1)if theres anything else i could mention please ask. if it is that zephyroth doesnt like my setup, would there be a version that does?also i forgot to mention, the burnt dvd (the one that does try to boot) only says it is 486kb in size when Zphy is 4.37gb. is that also because windows wont read the osx files or is that because the burning process didnt work right, even though ive used 2 different programs and 3 different attempts and got the same result.

DoiX Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 try booting with -v cpus=1 (press f8 at the darwin bootloader) sometimes leo doesn't like more than 1 cpu in AMD edit: also remove part of you ram, 2 gb should be fine Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87958-zephyroth-amd-burn/#findComment-792206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy P Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 ok, i removed 2gb ram and booted using -v cpus=1 and it still does the same, says loading darwin then 'hfs...' or something like that a few times, then restarts and boots xp.

cgsheen Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 You're using a PHENOM quad core? No wonder! I couldn't use any dist. that uses an EFI v8 bootloader. And, you NEED to get the Chameleon EFI for Phenom processors. That's the easiest way to make it all work. I had best results with Zephyroth 10.5.1 (which actually installed and ran on my Phenom 9550 setup - see specs below). After I installed the Chameleon EFI, I was able to update that install to 10.5.3, the 9.3 modbin kernel, and the latest smbios. I'm typing on it now... If your motherboard BIOS had the option, enable AHCI on your SATA drives. My phenom: Gigabyte GA-MA78GM S2H AM2+ 780G motherboard - onboard ATi Radeon HD 3200 graphics - onboard RTL8111C gigabit LAN - onboard RTL889a sound codec - onboard 1394a AMD Phenom 9550 Quad Core Processor @ 2.2GHz 2GB DDR2 PC6400 RAM Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87958-zephyroth-amd-burn/#findComment-792553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy P Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Right,that clears things up,thanks alot. so if i get 10.5.1 that should work on its own. then i could update to .3 afterwards? what are the benifits of 10.5.3?
