fuzzywasaduck2 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I haven't installed on a laptop - I understand there are a few other things to worry about but./.... You should explain to the forum what install you are talking about? Retail? Kalyway? iAtkos? an AMD install? At the darwin bootloader press F8 - then at the prompt type -v If that doesn't work try -s then report back any findings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jskandhari_ULV_User Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 you mean to say b4 the grey screen comes up i should press f8 will surely do that my instal folder had a dd.exe dd-list.bat and the bat file which directs it to the harddisk and write to leopard img file my processor is centrino core 2 duo 1.5ghz nvidia geo force 8400gs 2gb ram 80gb is the hard disk external on which it is installed sorry for poor quality of pic via mob cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ka911 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 1. extract leopard-x86.rar to the folder 2. open compmgmt.msc and select Disk Management 3. remember what disk (Disk 0, Disk 1 etc) you want to install to 4. remove any existing partitions on that disk by right clicking and selecting 'Delete Volume' and 'Delete Partition' 5. copy the .bat file for the selected disk to the folder WARNING!! selecting the wrong file may result in a wiped disk!! 6. execute the .bat file and wait.. 7. reboot into the created disk [by pressing Esc, F12 or whatever your mainbord wants] and boot into a fresh osX 10.5 install, you can now select your login info, location and so on. 8. if you wanna dualboot from vista, download EasyBCD... 9. if you're having trouble to boot into os x ,press F8 when booting and type -v at the boot screen to see whats wrong and then consult over here. here is extra info Copy leopard-x86-flat-img and the write leopard-x86-flat-img to diskX batch file along with dd.exe and dd --list.bat to System32 folder. also remember: while copying the write leopard batch file, copy the correspondent batch file that you want to install leopard on. It can only be installed to a seperate, unpartitioned physical drive. For eg; write leopard-x86-flat-img to disk0 - if your destination drive is HDD0 write leopard-x86-flat-img to disk1 - if your destination drive is HDD1 and so on... It is possible to install leopard flat-image on Partition2 of HDD0, however my efforts to do so has not been successful. When you install Leopard this way, the partition created is 15GB, and I haven't figured out a way to increase the size...you can use the remaining disk space as NTFS or HFS+. I've also come across some articles that allow you to increase the partition size after install... With all the necessary files in place run the write Leopard batch file as administrator (in Vista) and wait till the copying process finishes. When the copying is done, I use easyBSD to manage the booting process. Open EasyBCD and create a new entry with what ever name you prefer, and set the drive as BOOT. Save and reboot! Choose Leopard from the boot menu and boot into a fresh OS X Leopard 10.5.0 installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
