My Journey to Leopard...

[aboveliquidice]

Hello All,

I am new to the forum, new to the OSx86 Project - but I am not new to Apple or any of its products. I have missed my OSX TIger, ever since I sold my iBook and switched to my current Tablet PC (which is necessary as a 1st yr Pharmacy student). I have decided to build a dual boot machine - with Vista and OSX Leopard.

 

The Tools:

 

Asus R1e Tablet with a T7700 Core2Duo and 4gb of Ram

Leo4all

Leo4allv1-PPF

Day 1: 4-3-08

 

Used already downloaded iATKOS - and followed online tutorials... I could never make it to Disk Utility to produce the HFS+ partition (using -v option in Darwin)

After spending multiple hours TS- I decided maybe this was not the best way for me... then I found this forum.

Located Leo4all - which looks like a good option for me - began downloading, along with the v1-PPF by eddie

 

I have used the diskpart command in vista command prompt with the id=af switch to produce a 54 gb primary patition - at the very end of my internal harddrive that currently has Vista loaded.

 

So this is where I sit now - waiting for my download to finish (with great anticipation)

 

Does anyone have any comments / pearls of wisdom they wish to impart upon me??? Or even any suggestions... all are welcome - I cannot wait for Leopard!!!

Day 2: 4-4-08

 

Leo4all does not boot... I get to the darwin loader screen - where i can push any key to continue - scrolls a couple lines - and then reboots...

 

That is all I get from Leo4all - I am now investigating other methods... I will report back anything I find. Has anyone here been given the shaft by more than one distribution??? had did you overcome it...
