ne0star Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 A while back I installed Kalyway 10.5.1 of leopard on my Dell D820 laptop. It worked prefectly, but due to infrequent use I needed to reclaim the drive space. I now have an external USB 2.0 drive so thought I would install Leopard on that using the same Kalyway 10.5.1 disk. I followed the exact same procedure as before and installed fine, but when I boot it up with -V it simply hangs at the following line DirectoryService[49]: WARNING - dsTouch: file was asked to be opened : (File exists) If I let it boot up without the -v flag it just sits with the spinning apple logo indefinitley. Anybody help? Is there any tips I should follow with regards to booting from USB?

ne0star Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Yeah I came on here when it was first possible to install osx on a normal PC, and it worked but there were problems such as display driver issues so I couldn't do much with it. Once leopard got released the support was much better, so I have just recently returned to the fold. To be honest I'm thinking about just buying a Mac Owning an iPhone for 6 months has made me a convert Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/99262-kalyway-1051-boot-from-usb-problem/#findComment-709231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbmac Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 If Mac makes a configuration that meets your needs, then definitely buy a mac. I find their hardware designs not suited to what I want...
