mUsicXbEAt Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hello. I'm pretty new here and to Mac. I'm having great difficulties installing Leopard onto my PC. I've gotten the ToH image burned to a DVD. The disk loads up (i've tried using "-v" and "-v -x" at boot:) and after a while I get into the GUI installer. Now, the only way I could get the DVD to bypass the "Still waiting for root disk" message was to change my BIOS. I have a Dell XPS 410. In my BIOS, under SATA Operation I switched "RAID On" to "RAID Autodetect / ATA". I have followed this guide, yet nothing happens when I select "Onboard SATA Drive" from the Boot menu. In the guide I used I was only able to reach the part after terminal (I couldn't even load Darwin), and when I restarted it still hung. I plan on using BootCamp for Windows later and I also plan on having Mac take my ENTIRE drive. Please help me, I really am excited about being so close to having OSX! Thanks, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevy2410 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Like groume said, get Leo4all, but get version 2. Now since your drive doesn't show up you might want to format it to a fat32 partition first and then once you get to the gui installer go into disk utility and reformat it to Mac OS Extended(Journaled). Once done you should now see your drive and continue with the install. Don't forget to click the customize button and choose what you need for your system.
