elmercin Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hello people! I post because i'm not able to install leopard/tiger because the installers doesn't detect my HD. My notebook is an acer aspire 5520-5670, my specs are in my signature. But... today i've been so close to boot from my HD(well i think that so close ) I've installed the uphuck v1.4a DVD for AMD using VMware. So, when the installation finished, i started the virtual machine and i installed the newest AppleNForceATA.kext by medevil with my HD id inside. Also i installed the NForce5.pkg that is on the osx86 wiki. So, when all the process finished, i turn off the virtual machine, i activated the tiger partition from diskpart utility of windows vista, and reboot the notebook. So, the first try it give me a com.apple.boot.plist not found, then i restart the notebook again but i enter to the boot of my notebook. I wait 10 seconds and then i try to boot again the tiger, but with the -f -v flags. This time, it worked, for a while My 2 processors were detected and i saw all the kexts loading in the screen, it was good because i think that tiger will boot. Buuuuuuut then this screen appear I dont know what happened :S Im thinking make all the whole process again, but without install the NForce5.pkg What do you think? Can somebody help me? Plx I am so close to get tiger booting, then i think i will be able to install leopard Also, there are some users with notebooks like mine, so if i can make it works, they also will be able. Well, by now thats all guys Waiting for your help Cya!

geiman Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Yeah I would love to get OS X on my acer aspire 5520. I can get a few of the newest 10.5.5 discs to boot up, and a few even recognize my hard drive, but when I go to erase a partition, the screen turns white and the computer hangs; after a forced hard-shutdown/reboot, no changes have been made to the disk. I would erase the partition with another boot disc, but I'm afraid after I get it erased that OS X will not be able to install to that hard drive either, and the erase will have been for nothing.
