Here is my specs:

Do you think it would be possible to run an older version of this hack in a netbook Atom 1.6GHZ with 2GB ram?
does anybody have an answer????? pleeeeezzze
does it matter if the hardrive is formated or not?
thanks
Thanks in advance.
But it's damn slow isn't it?
greetings from austria
Hey, I am in the process of downloading this. However, from previous experiences with other releases, it is possible. I don't see why not with this version.
What are these WLAN and sound issues?? Can they be fixed?
I'm an abseloute newbie and am wondering if this will work on my system (Dell D830 laptop) especially cause we use LanDesk at school for software distribution and I am using the Wave security suite for the fingerprint reader.
But I guess I'll find out
With the torrent i got it will take a long time. (1 kb/s at this moment)
@Everyone: Yes you can multiboot leopard with other OS'es.. For more details on this lookup the OSX86 wiki..
Does anyone successfully installed this on their PC already running Windows XP. Also will it affect programs that were originally working on windows system?
Thank you for your help.
g
or the version that mininova have is different that the "standard version" ?
PS; sorry the bad english..

Also, the best way to get help is to sit, breathe, and ponder your question before posting so it comes out in a legible manner. Thank you.
Karthik- Thanks for the guide, Im happy with ubuntu atm, but this is something I've been wanting to try for a while. Any chance we can get an article on extended compatibility? (i.e. battery usage, quirks, stability, etc)
oh yeah, have the sound and WLAN probs been solved in this release??
One question, do you have any idea whether or not my 8800GT 512mb video card will be supported under Leopard? I have serached but found no confirmation as of yet, just curious whether its worth installing it or not.
Thanks
You shouldn't really be downloading Leopard without paying for it. It's illegal. Go buy a copy of Leopard instead!
/* end obligitory piracy warning */
But a dual boot guide would be even better...
So please, is there any page about dual booting Windows XP and this latest release of Mac OS X?
Thanks
*3* seeds and 3900 peers.
And you said that Its about 2.09 GB...

What's inside? Seems a zip file and only 2GB, where is the rest?
(way ahead of you)
just kidding, why people do not seed?!
please, please seed again.
there are 30 seeds now....but the seeder:leecher ratio is hovering around .006 this number should be up around 1.00 and higher for a good, stable torrent.
The download speeds are great until ~86%.....based on my last post this number is good, i guess. It is up, which means someone is connected to a seed.
i run now microsoft windows vista home premium, but if can run os x, i will change with no doubt.
thk.
plz answer my question.
bye
this is ridiculous!!!
SEED
SEED
SEED!!!!
its the only way
if you don't mind me asking. What are rate are you uploading to the community? maybe you could do a dedicated upload tonight. Only upload this torrent and use your full upload bandwidth. A good nights upload will for sure take care of the seed shortage. many will only need an hour or two to get 100% of this torrent.
slowly got to 90.4%
how many people installed allready?
running Windows already as a dual boot system?
2. Is its reversible? Thank you for reading thisIs its reversible?
3. will i be able to install xp again on my pc?
plzzzzzzzz help!!!! i really like this os!!! plzzzzz im desperate!!! thx!
if tea would do, plz let me know!
i'am ok to seed, just tell me how to do because i don't know :)

I intend to install on a p4 3.20 GHz SL7E5, can anyone tell me if the PC-EFI is going to work for me?I'm guessing it won't but I'm not sure what implications that will have on my installation?
How much RAM can Leopard address and use? This used Intel D865GBF board can go to 4 Gig I believe, shoud I load it up? I never had more than 3 Gig in it because of 32 bit Windows inability to use more than 3.5.
SEED, people SEED please!!
Also....whats the difference between iAtkos and Kalyway? Can you dual boot with Vista?
Thanks in advance

Is anyone else having this problem, or does anyone know how to fix it?
i downloaded the first image i saw.
i am trying to install on a pentium 4 1.6 ghz based pc
And you guys - my router is still seeding this famous iATKOS 3:3000 torrent ;)
unfortunately the dvd activity indicator only flashed a couple times and it is stuck on the spinning wheel and it never boots.
i forgot to mention there is only 256 meg of ram in the machine i wouldnt think that would cause any problems since the boot is very minimal and os x has an always on virtual memory.
seeding at 40 kBps btw.
cheers
wait, windows says iso image is "2 621 407 232 bytes" big. if this is the same for you then you have to throw out bloated nero sht. ;)
Just tried to install this. But when i get the screen where i have to choose with partition to install it too, there are no partitions, or drives if u wish, shown. Do many more people have this problem, anyone have a solution? Please let me know
pc is a compaq c500 laptop
looks like a botch up was dun to the latest because at 2 gig it is not big enough to hold the startup files.
is it just a upgrade that is meant to be installed from the current session without rebooting or is it meant to be bootable by it's self.
or is it a full retail bootable?
I had the same problem on my P4 Pressie and Asus Mobo. I tried it on my brothers Dell and got it to install. The problem is it's not booting, it starts reading from the drive and just hangs...

Torrent was downloaded as a .Zip and extracted with no errors and then burned to disk with Nero 7.2.3.2. On the first boot at would make it to the APPLE splash page...wait about 3 minutes and then reboot...Any ideas?? Thanks.

I have installed iATKOS though I am unsure if I've selected the right configuration settings. I've tried several configurations, none seem to boot fully. The closest I can get is booting off the hard disk (but only if the leopard disc is in the CD tray), loading most of Leopard, and coming to a screen that states I must restart my machine. Without the disc in the tray, Bios checks for CD boot, drops down one line, and sits with a blinking cursor indefinately.
to anyone who has tried to install: Did you install on a computer already running windows? also, after trying to install, were you able to boot back up in windows (without having to reinstall it)?
thanks for the help!
thanks.. i solved it last night. problem was that i couldnt control mouse pointer to access menus. it just started working one time. pretty random actually.
i got this release intalled ok but it would not boot up. it would simply boot into the installer every time regardless how i booted (letting it time out. hitting any key, or F8 option. ive now successfully installed uphuck 10.4.9 release.
problem is now finding drivers for my acer aspire 5710 as i have no sound, no LAN, no wireless.

I left it on overnight! If anyone knows what I’ve done wrong, I’d be VERY grateful. For the recored, this is the first thing that comes up. It asks you before if you want to install Mac OS X, you press Enter to agree. Then it goes to this screen, and in my case, fails to do anything else.
Thanks!
Same problem here
Thanks,
Keyur
I'll leave it on for the next 72 hours or so, so everyone else can get to here. Those with the full download, please, share. :P
now.. i'm having problems instaling it!
when the white window with the aplle shows.. i ear some noise from the DVD.. and then it stops, and the computer restarts after a litle while!
and when i press F8 when it ask me to, i write "rd=disk0s1" and a window appears telling me to press restart button or power button for a while, because it need to restart.
i tried to write "-v" when i press F8 and a lot of lines with things written appears, and then the last one is:
"ERROR: Firewire - unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure"
and then.. it stays there for about 15seconds and then restarts again!
does anyone have the same problem? or have any idea of what am i doing wrong?
need some help, plz ;)
Thanks
now if i could just figure out how to double boot this sucker
When i try to install it just restarts my computer. It says to press a button to install Leopard then i press but when its loading my computer restarts. Any help would be great.
One of these torrents where removed from mininova. But i found it on isohunt, which has thousands of seeders!
Can Leopard read FAT32 or NTFS formated drives? I was thinking of having one drive with pictures and music that booth OS can read.
Josh
Same problem here too
i really need help!
it seems lots of people have been having the same problems
I also tried loading it from grub menu (linux loader) and it did get past startup screen (apple with round loader), then it shows blue screen like background and thats it..
but guys.. i tried using it with cd boot method i described and enjoyed it for ~15 minutes.. you know what? - i got this feeling like i have to have macbook with that cute apple on cover by itself and put on ubuntu linux.. because my ubuntu is more handy and it has more features.. i like the way i can customize it and it has more eye candy..
oh well so much for it, you guys go on and try, i`ve made my decision.. actually i just need that cute looking laptop not os.. linux is far more good already.. later it will be even better :)
But a lot of people are having problems with this release and it would be right if you could, as well as anyone else who has successfully managed to install this OSX, to take a minute and explain to others how to BURN and INSTALL it properly.. Thanx in advance!
And yes I am waiting for your guide on how to Multi-Boot this release.
Merry Christmas!

I have Noticed that leopard is 64 bit. That can be part of the problem since alot of older processeors are not 64 bit capable. Have download via mininova. burned at 5,540kbs using magic iso. Also This Is A laptop I am Using.
When I just let it boot on its own it gets to apple screen then reboots.
When I use advanced options and type -v it loads hfs a few times then restarts. Idk what the problem is. if anyone can help thanxs. I will be buying a macbook soon anyways but whant to c if it worth the money
The virtual machine just suffered a stack fault in kernel mode. On a real computer, this would amount to a reset of the processor. It can be caused by an incorrect configuration of the virtual machine, a bug in the operating system, or a problem in the VMware Workstation software. Press OK to reboot virtual machine or Cancel to shut it down.
Also This Popped Up:System Config File '/com.apple.boot.plist' not found
hopefully someone will patch and build a full live dvd that will run on any pc by using generic code that is not cpu specific (no need for builds for amd,pentium,celeron,etc.)
Note, most of the torrents presented on this thread, do not comply with the original md5 tracker of the Patched DVD. I cannot verify the validity of the tors presented herein, hence, if there is anyone using them, leave your comments here please.
intend to do the same in a couple of hours, patching and installing the iATKOS on a Nocola dual Xeon, under a Precision 470 Dell workstation.
Merry Xmas.

Now for the install in about an hour.
i got a question, does this install disc come with the whole ilife suite?
I tried all of the suggested fixes which included using the GParted Live CD to set the boot flag and the other ideas which included using the terminal mode on the install DVD iso and entering the Unix commands to make the partition active. I was attempting this install on an attached USB drive.All to no avail. While I would have liked to have gotten this OS working I began to wonder why. Probably for the thrill of getting something for nothing that otherwise cost upwards of $125 and for the joy of hacking.
But to be practical I know a better way to achieve the security of a Unix (LInux) environment without all of the hassles this Leopard install has caused me (Over 48 hours of trial and errors). I downloaded the latest version of PCLinux and had it working in less than 1 hour !
Sound, ethernet , video, internet, and the security of Linux.
Hats off to anyone who can get this hacked version of Leopard to work
on an intel PC. But PCLinux works just fine on any system that has
come out in the last 5 years or so.
2 ideas for you all:
1. There may be a problem with SLi nvidia cards.
2. There may be a problem with RAID arrays.
If any of you have this working with EITHER combo, it would be cool to know that there is some other problem. Thanks!
as far as i understood this topic you only can boot leopard when its the only os installed (so you would have to remove windows).
I have 2 HDDs in my notebook so i tryed it with only one of them and it worked, but at the registration my keyboard didn't work so i couldn't continue.
I think we all shoud wait for a "better", newer release which is more simple to install and works better.
Also need change boot disk like others done with "rd=disk0s1".
Now I need to operate network (Without success now).

If Apple had of brought out leopard ages ago then maybe we would have got a mac. I say maybe too because the price of them is outrageous.
Have a look at the upgrade price of the macbook pro to get the ram upgraded from 2gig to 4gig. $1000. A freekin $1000. Thats an entire laptop brand new from the shop.
Maybe if the Macs weren't so friggen expensive more people would buy them.
after installing, reboot and press f8..then, at the commmand line, type in
"-x -v -f rd=disk0s1" except without the quotes...the installlation should be smooth afterwards
i sitll can't get this damn wireless to work though!
8x4f18ccBacktrace continues. . . 0x2 0x4f18e08 0x51ba74) ) rgs on stack)
any advice?
thanks.
Macs are expen$sive, especially ram. But that is because Apple doesn't want to be i the ram game. I recently upgraded the ram in my macbook (from 1g to 2 g). If I would have gone through Apple it would have set me back $300. I went with crucial ram and it was only $55. Not to be cliche: you get what you pay for. A $400 laptop will have the performance and longevity of a $400 laptop. . .
It is not like Apple to rush getting things out because of a predetermined release date. Dropping a new OS is a big deal, requiring a lot of TLC. When things are rushed we end up with buggy systems--I will refrain from metioning any specific OS, but I think it's pretty obvious which rushed buggy OS I am referring too. One gig just to run the OS, come on Bill you can do better than that.
Macs are not really all that expensive, I mean, of course you can get some PC's for a lot cheaper, but you do get what you pay for, and Mac hardware is pure genius Take the new iMac for example... ever try to open one? no screws... ever notice how the glass screen is black around the edges? That is because it is magnetized, so suction cups pull the glass off. GENIUS! They are all amazing. With that being said, prices have dropped, a macbook $1,000, a new imac for $1,000. And these are nice powerful core2duo machines.
As far as the memory comment, YES... Apple branded memory, which is usually hynix or kingston with an apple sticker is very expensive. However.... so is memory from Dell, or HP, HP kills Mac in the memory price. So go buy non-apple branded memory. it works fine, back when we had powerpcs, yes, some brands were flaky, but not now.
In the end, the thing is that Macs last a LONG time. You don't need a new computer ever few years to run stuff, that concept only applies to Microsoft. When it comes to mac & Linux, a hardware upgrade is a luxury, not a requirement. We still have people using Blue & Whites (but they are very slow). Either way, a real mac is well worth the cost.
Step One: Building the house
- Go to Home depot and buy house parts.
- build a house using those parts.
If this procedure was really as easy as is claimed, there wouldn't be volumous numbers of posts from people who can't follow your 'one step' procedure and zero posts about how to correct errors.
If someone wouldn't mind posting an actual guide on how to properly configure leopard on common hardware configurations, there are a lot of folks here who would greatly appreciate it.
thanks

For instructions but you have to register first to access the guide.
Now if someone could do a quick breakdown of making a dual boot system with Windows I think everyone's questions would be answered.
For those of you as impatient as me, it took 45 minutes to download the approx 2 GB of .rars
Also the image is good, I have loaded it successfully
Also used Gparted to set the boot flags. Does anyone has a solution?
Audiosonic you seem to have solved the problem, but it isn't clear to me how you managed it. Can you tell me more?
I think the Goal IS to make one "Triboot-PC":
Partition #1-> FAT32 => WINXP
Partition #2-> EFI
Partition #3-> HFS+ => OSX
Partition #4-> EXT3 => / (for ubuntu-LINUX)
Partition #5-> swap (for Linux)
Partition #6-> EXT3 => /home (for ubuntu-LINUX)
First -> You have to Partitionate the HDD
with ubuntu-Live CD (GParted).
Then -> You have to install the Three OSes! in this Order too,
so when ubuntu write the GRUB on MBR, you can
easy choose your System at BOOT from "GRUB-List".
I do this in Juni/07 from ubuntu & RUN!
EASY Going ...
Thanks and Try it ...

Intel worthless graphics

The sound didn't worked under a hacked 10.4.8 installation. So I hope it works under 10.5. Haven't tested that yet.
I don't know the exactly model number for the Celeron processor. But the computer was bought in Jan '05.
I hate that the BIOS requires the PS/2 keyboard. I cannot use an USB keyboard in the BIOS. So I must have 2 keyboards connected. The Dell PS/2 keyboard and the Apple USB keyboard. I love the Apple keyboard with CTRL, ALT and CMD keys.
Another "trouble" is that I cannot change the graphics in System Prefs. I can only use 1024x768 with millions of colors. I cannot switch to lower or higher.
I have no support for Quartz Extreme or Core Image/Video/...
The performance is good enough for web browsing, text editing, chat programs, server applications...
I just wanted to say that 10.5 works on this computer!
Please help
You could suffer through 5 days of downloading (because no one seeds). Then spend 5 hours on configurations so that you can just get Leopard on your PC, and then make some sacrifices in terms of the Leopard functionality (no wireless?).
OR... you can just get a MAC! The problem is still that Apple designs its software around its hardware and vice versa. That's why the wireless only detects airport. It's just that simple, Apple software is made for Apple computers. Now, if you want to argue tying and bundling violations, contact the DOJ and FTC.
Mac minis start at $ 600, they are FAR superior to any DELL or HP for that price. Mac books are $ 1000, take the money that you would have spent on "optimization services" at Geek Squad and spend it on a Mac.
However, if you do want an alternative experience, one is that is free of hassles and confines of Windows, do what real gangstas do, get Ubuntu (fast and free!). Ubuntu Gutsy is awesome!
Before you say Linux is for geeks, I have many friends who doesn't know their way around Windows use Ubuntu. It's become very user friendly.
So get a Mac, or get Ubuntu.

Why You Don't stay by ubuntu???

because my Profession
(Im "IT-Manager" and "Have-To"
work with all the OSes ...
=> ubuntu is The Best-ONE and Sure!
What for a wireless card have you?
I Install ubuntu in all PCs I found, and have no wireless Problems, you have on the taskbar the available wireless and only need to pick one and type the WPA or WEP and ready!
And Ethernet goes automatic on DHCP, only for PPPoE you need to type in Terminal, if wireless or ethernet, but run!
But I have one Problem NoW :0(= For All of You with Positive Install:
I try the whole day to install iATKOS on an ACER TravelMate,
but stops without a message, after I Type "boot: -v"!
Must be one HFS+ partition or unformatted goes too?
Thanks a lot ... a Good New Year!

The reason your install doesn't work is because you're videocard, processor, etc is NOT supported by Apple! Apple is not Microsoft! Look, the reason Apple has a reputation for being more stable than Windows is because Apple supports only a LIMITED amount of hardware. That is, the native hardware you buy when you buy an Apple computer! So you can NOT install OS X on just any random PC!! Your PC's hardware has to be compatible with what Apple supports natively, or you'll have to track down the drivers you need and install them yourself. Period.
Hardware that works:

If you want to build your own hackintosh: http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/wishlist/Pu...

Or buy a new PC that is compatible out of the box:

System config file ‘/com.apple.boot.plist’ not found
I don't mind doing the research and doing the leg work to get this working. Many times, someone has the knowledge and experience to quickly get around some of the generic problems and can help you get things working in a short period of time. I know it wouldn't be as much fun as degrading or insulting people, but if the solution to their problem is that they have to research and find drivers, why not just provide a website URL that they can go to - to research their answers.
I started out loading Slackware on my PCs years ago and found documentation in the package and websites that helped me work through my driver/configuration problems. Trying to load the MAC OS is slightly different where it doesn't seem to have much documentation to research right now. I understand that my laptop may not even be able to handle the instruction set needed to run the MAC OS. I was told there is a utility you can run to check this and am currently trying to find it.
If you're in a position where you may know where to find the information, but don't know the exact resolution, please just be kind and direct us in the right direction so we can find the answers on our own. And yes, some may be new to the level of computing you need to understand to get devices to work with Linux or even the MAC OS, but they need to start somewhere.
I've been concentrating on college course while working a full time job these past six years and haven't had time to stay up on my skills with Linux and admit I'm a bit rusty. All I ask is to just point me in the right direction so I can find how to get the drivers (or even build them) and pull them into the iso image.
My 2 cents.... Hope you had a Happy New Year.
My videocard, processor is supported... They're listed here : http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL...
So, why the installation doesn't work?? :( Perhaps, because i use VmWare Player...?
I have the Dimension 9200 listed here : http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL... (your link) :)
Just started buring at speed 2× with imgburn (its free, search @ google for the burn tool) You can burn it with any other image/iso burn tool.
I can’t wait to try this . . .

I have Vista installed and I tried to flag it (leopard) to boot but it sends an MBR error. Help!
Thanks a lot for a tool that will open the mac OS world to anyone
and by the way there were three torrents and all of them don't work please help.
I also tried doing the install in VMWARE. It keeps crashing asking me to reset. I'm not sure why, I get to the apple logo and thats it.
I'm doing this on my DELL XPS M1710.
I appreciate the help.
i remember when i got the flash drive it had a built in disk.
then, when i have it running...can i install PC software like my linksys wireless-G adapter?
1.BUY A MAC
if i put Leopard in a PC notebook core 2 duo, 2gb mem, 160gb HD, USB wifi, firewire. iR, DVDR-w, will i have a computer similar to a REAL mackbook (black) to work as a DJ or VJ???
OR i realy need a mackbook?
please need at minimum 3 answers urgent, to compare..!!!
thanks in advance, DjLeoGandra.
you need to use the disk utility in the installer to format the drive for HFS, then it will show up under disk to install on.
i get this message after configering vmware
"The buslogic SCSI adapter is not supported for 64-bit guests in this release. Please consult the documentation for the appropriate type of SCSI adapter to use with 64-bit guests.
Failed to configure virtual device scsi0."
yes, i know i dont get the same benifits, but it swtill works and looks like it!!!
I feel how hard it sounds. If you have stuff you can sell or work and save up it wont take long. I would suggest a mac mini or macbook i have one sold alot of old thing and had it i a month and i'm pore. I love this macbook.
Well i am still trying to install this on a old PC it is for a pore family member. I am using my macbook to do the creating.
I also have leopard and apple care saved up i love leopard spaces is great.
Here in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, a macbook costs 5x its price in NY.
In NY at AppleStore it cost U$1.499,00, BUT in Brazil(Rio de Janeiro) it cost more than R$7.000,00...!!!
it´s almost impossible, or can i say "a crazy thing" to get one at this price here!!!
With R$7.000,00 and with the sale of my old car i can get another car 3 ou 4 years newer...
Because of this i tought to get a good PC notebook and put Leopard in it.
Let´s talk more..
Hugs
i got the same problem as you: i burned the data to the dvd, but windows starts like usual. it seems that there is no boot-record on the dvd. how did you solve that problem?
thank you!
Leopard runs on my pentium 4, 1gb ram with geforce 4 TI 4200...but very slowly...would another grafic-card boost the performance? or might it be another problem?
thanks
I partitioned my DELL XPS M1710 hard drive and reformatted the partition using the Disk Utility off the boot DVD. It picked up the drive and I started to install. It checked the DVD and it began the install. About 25mins into the install my laptop rebooted (the blue bar didn't complete loading). It then told me there was no OS. It still showed that Vista was on my C Drive and that something was on my New drive. I couldn't get my laptop to boot. I had to reformat and reinstall Vista.
Is there anything I did worng?
How about a notebook Acer 5630-6288 core 2 duo to instal OSX LeoparD ???
do you all think that´s wiil be fine???
thankx
I have the same problem, if you have the solution do let me know. Thanks.
I want to know if I should invest my weekend on this?
Thanks

I have the same problem as audiosonic ... When i arrive to the place where it says where you want to download it my HDD doesn't show and when i go to disk utilities I can't mount it it says Error try something first.....
However, I cannot get it to work, it just wouldn't boot.
I am using a Thinkpad T60 (Centrino), Core2Duo 2.2 GHZ, ATI X1600.
Here's what I did: I replaced the internal HDD with a blank one. I used the Mac OS X DiskUtil to erase and format the HDD. Strangely, I always got GUID map type at first whenever trying to create a single partition. In fact, I would actually end up with two partition, the first very tiny (200MB) and invisible, only visible in the GParted LiveCD, the second being the actually desired Macintosh HD. I instead had to create two partitions first to actually be able to select MBR map type instead of GUID type. Then I erased the whole HDD again to create one partition (HFS+, journaled) only, but MBR map type setting would luckily persist. Gnome would also then show a single partition formatted with HFS+.
Now I installed the Darwin boot loader, installed Mac OS X, but afterwards and further on all I got is a blinking cursor after system restart. I used the GParted LiveCD to set the boot flag, but it wouldn't help. I tried a couple of settings and combinations and so forth, but still no success. I've read all the instructions again and again, but I ran out of ideas.
Any idea what's wrong? Am I stupid? Don't I deserve Mac OS X??
Thanks, guys!
I've downloaded the file (2.09 gb) and seeding right now, but i cant open the ZIP archive. I get error messages "unexpected and of archive"
I cant unzip the iso file, PLEASE HELP>>>
i've cahnged the boot.ini, but then comes an error.
what can i do?
Is installing 2 MacBooks from the same Leopard installation media, can cause problems?
I see no serials or other means of authentication like in Microsoft OS.
Thanks
ET
many thanks
I have created a similar guide.
If anybody has problems with HFS+ errors, blinking cursor, etc etc
Then go through this guide. It's more elaborate and Simple

An interesting news for me .just do it
Needs a proper ethernet card, sees one core, run superb!
I believe that this image has better info and its more controllable.
A) try 1 booter at a time
B) Clean install every time that you try installing
C) don't add drivers that you don't need
D) check "on the fly" discs and ethernet
C) try without vanilla kernel
Buy Leopard and set it up by yourself (X86 how to), worth it!
Do I need to take out the Spider-Man 3 DVD first?

I am stuck in BIOS the darwin loads(im not to firmiliar with macintosh terms for that..kernal?) But automatically reboots. I am currently running vista ultimate 32bit, and XP 32bit one two seperate partitions. I added a 58GB partition off the Vista one called it mac os x, but it is ntsf? format whatever the windows format default is. AND cannot be formatted in the mac. My email is chimpebman@yahoo.com please email me with help or post on here(post on here better)

SOLUTION: Popped in the r2 dvd, as soon as it got to the white screen with the apple logo, I ejected ther disc and inserted the 1.0 disc (found out later that the kernels didnt match but the issue was resolved). PS2 input devices worked now and I managed to complete the install.
However, usb is still not working...

THANKS AGEN
My system was previously a dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows XP setup with grub bootloader. The issue was when I installed OSX it killed grub, but didn't overwrite it. I tried installing the Darwin booloader to all three hard drives multiple times but it never seemed to actually write to the MBR.
Since I couldn't boot into any OS now I decided to try to fix grub. I did this by booting off the Ubuntu live cd and running the following commands in a terminal:
sudo grub
root (hd2,2)
setup (hd2)
The commands above overwrote the MBR with grub and made my system bootable again. So once in Ubuntu I decided to see if I could get grub to load OSX. Also from a terminal I did:
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
and added the following lines to the bottom:
title OSX86
root (hd2,0)
chainloader +1
This also, surprisingly enough, was able to boot Darwin with PC-EFI enabled. Hopefully this helps any of the people with multiboot options or issues booting.
Even though the installation claims itself to be successful, when I reboot, I do not see mac os in the bootloader.
I went back and tried to apply the darwin dual boot, and I am still having the same problem.
The partition in which I installed leo is formatted in HFS+.
I had the same problem with the 3 step guide, in which I tried both fat32 and HFS+; it also claimed to have been a successful install by the installer.
Would you have any hints or tips that I may want to try in my case?
I use an intel duo core, and in the url bellow is some information about my system.
I have two HDs on my machine, both sata, and the second hd is partitioned in two sections (reason is because on the previous 3 step guide I tried naming one patcher and the other leopard and test each of them, after I had the HD with a single partition not work with patcher).
http://www.geocities.com/jen35jenjen35/index.html
thank you in advance!
I deleted the partition and formatted to a single HFS+ partition, then ran Darwin Boot and OS install.... I get a new "result."
When my computer starts up (and it doesn't even load onto Windows now), it displays:
HFS+ partition error
and does go anywhere from there.
What do I do???
The 2.09Gb image is ok and have burn it to dvd. Have followed instruction on Darwin Boot screen but when reboot, it says "error loading os". From the comments above, I can see that this matter persist. Any clue what may be going wrong with the MBR?
but during setup my computer just reboots

NOTE:
The items marked with * are components that I'm willing to sacrifice (aka "sell on eBay") if Leopard has a problem with them.
The items marked with ** are components that I'm pretty sure are irrelevant in terms of Leopard compatibility.
Anyway, let me know what you think. If I do this, I'm considering buying a removable SATA hard drive enclosure and another 500GB drive. That way I can leave my current system alone (i.e. take out the whole hard drive) while I mess around with this.
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.
One more thing. If I get this running well (i.e. like it would run on a real Mac), what happens when Apple wants to update the operating system? Will everything break on me?
Also, do we need to do anything special to our BIOS?
Should we stay off of the internet when installing or does it matter?
Can I install this directly onto a blank hard drive?
How should the hard drive be formatted?
So many questions!!!
;)
I'm totally stoked to do this!
I'm so sick of Microsoft and Vista.
Cheers.
Btw. there are two torrents at thepiratebay.org, but one of them are _FAKE!_ so check the comments before you download.
Thanks a lot for this, now i can have leopard on both my pc and my mac!
i booted from the cd it was all good till i got a message saying Select the destination for your os or something like that. it stays there forever, i guess it shud show the hard drives or somethingbut it doesnt show anything! its stucked plz helpp!
will it ever be avalable for a computer with an AMD prosseser?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
BTW, im seeding the iso at about 100kb/s
please plase let me know thank you....
One more question before I go to bed.
Can anybody tell me why all of the actual non-hacked Leopard DVD's out there (i.e. isohunt) are over 6GB while the OSx86 one is only around 2.09 to 2.44 GB? That seems weird to me. Am I missing something?
G'night.
Download iATKOS_v1.0i.iso from Limewire or any other P2P Site
Burn ISO onto DVD at slow speed
Start up iATKOS installation
Run Disk Utility before installation
Format drive as Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Select Partition
Create 1 Partition
Select Opions... and make sure Master Boot is selected
Label new partition 'LEOPARD'
OK to create partition
Install iATKOS on drive
System will automatically reboot when finished
***Making the HDD Bootable (without the DVD)***
Download GPartedLiveCD to make Master Boot Partition Bootable
Burn ISO for GPartedLiveCD
Boot GPartedLiveCD
Select Nvidia for Graphics Adapter
At desktop r-click partition, flags, check boot, OK
Restart System
Boot on iatkos install DVD
Run Darwin_Boot and install EFI on Master Boot Partition
Reboot system
Remove iATKOS CD
DONE
The problem was that the iATKOS installation was NOT making the Master Boot Record a bootable partition as indicated in the "One Step Procedures" above. You should know that not everything is one step. Would be nice, but... we are working with a hack here.
Adou'
Everybody must be busy with their new OSx86 installation of Leopard.
;)
I've got time.
Cheer.
:)
Looking forward to some feedback to my MOUNTAIN of posts. Sorry guys, but I never think up all of my questions at once and, if I don't post them when I think of them, I will forget.
Cheers!
if you are installing on a PC with iATKOS, yes it will delete your files, so backup!
if you are installing a non-modified Leopard on an Apple with Tiger, no it will not.
Is it posible to run the mac OS X on my compaq laptop? I have 500 some odd MG of RAM and 1.4 GH Processer and intel pentium M
Thanks in advanced
I've dowloaded the file for 3 times from different trackers and after checking the md5 and burning the image to a blank DVD (at slow speed) I get a ridiculous 542KB size DVD, which obviously do almost nothing. It starts, loads some init files and then reboots over and over.
Help accepted. Thanks in advance
That can't be true can it. There must be some legitimate ISO's out there somewhere. Feedback from everybody would be great.
Maybe we'll have to wait until 10.5.2 comes out so that we can jump on it while people are still seeding it.
Cheers!
I'm not sure if this is still the case, but Apple has a reputation for making their operating systems fairly backwards compatible and able to run on quite a range of hardware (further back than Windows could at least). For instance, I'm pretty sure that OSX Tiger runs on non-Intel Macs as well as Intel Macs. So, basically, if a person went into an Apple store last year and bought OSX Tiger, he'd only need to by one disc. I think that the OSX setup application detects which CPU-type you have and then installs the correct code. If that still holds true with OSX Leopard, then that would account for why the OSx86 hack ISO's are so much smaller than the Intel Mac non-hacked Leopard DVD ISO's. All the non-Intel code has been stripped out. At least that's my theory.
Cheers.
not sure about partitioning wit iATKOS, THEORETICALLY (dont hold me to it!!) files on other partitions should be safe, that is, if the installer supports partitioning.
sorry i cant further assist you with that :/
Do i do something wrong??
I manage to sucessfully install Leopard on my VAIO TZ. I download the ISO, burned, did everything as said. I made the partition with Vista and installation was pretty smooth.
But now got some issues. Can't boot without DVD in it (sometimes even boots to installation, sometimes freezes on apple screen, sometimes boots just fine!! just keep trying...). If I don't leave the DVD in in, I got some problem as Jennifer above (HFS+ partition error).
Leopard is running good, sound is just great (even Fn+F3 key as sony volume would work as Mac volume!!), but no wifi so far. Even BT is working great, made some file transfers. Other bad thing is screen resolution - only can get 1024x768, which looks weird not being widescreen (huge black part on the right, not pretty!)
But also can't boot into windows vista anymore, I think I lost my system. Tried to made a complete PC restore, couldn't.
I'll try to get recovery CDs and restore my computer, and maybe wait for a more stable version. If I can boot both Vista or XP and Leopard that would be great.
I installed iATAKOS put i need to start up the dvd and ther is no sound and no internet please help!
Thanks! greez from Switzerland
I use some software on windows that I would prefer to keep and I thought this might be preferable to attempting to setup a dual boot system.
I can get Leopard free from my company and would prefer not to download it if possible.
Thanks.
And if that is right...
I'm sorry for seeding a lame track, people =.=
Be a giver, be a seeder, but not this kind lol
*** Virtual machine kernel stack fault (hardware reset) ***
The virtual machine just suffered a stack fault in kernel mode. On a real computer, this would amount to a reset of the processor. It can be caused by an incorrect configuration of the virtual machine, a bug in the operating system, or a problem in the VMware Workstation software. Press OK to reboot virtual machine or Cancel to shut it down.
So no dice?
FOR PEOPLE WITH ONE PARTITION (MOST TYPICAL USERS):
Macintosh uses its own file system, HFS, and windows uses NTFS or FAT32, therefore, in order for it to install, it needs to reformat your hard drive to convert it to HFS, so if you only have one partition, everything will definitely be gone.
FOR PEOPLE WITH MULTIPLE PARTITIONS:
With most OSes you have the ability to format just one partition and leave the rest alone, however, remember that OS X is specifically designed for Apple computers, and im not sure that they support partitions during install (with an apple, you partition after you install (beleve it or not), using BootCamp). so to be safe, i would back up everything important that you have on your PC
sorry i cant help with multiple partitions, ive never done it on an Apple
Can I install this using a virtual PC like VMware? I try and get this error:

can anyone tell me the reasion and how to solve it.
thanx
Dont forget if you have windows running on the first partition of your HD and you install Leopard on a second partition the MBR will be overwritten and windows will still be on the first partition but you will not beable to access it.The trick is to boot with the windows disc and restore the MBR
i have an Intel Core2 CPU T5600 (centrino Duo)

I want mac os x
Try it first with VMware before you try dual booting. You want to make sure it will even run before you waste your time. Come on people.
Downloaded 7.8GB Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.iso which has BootCamp setup.exe, .pdf and Mac OS X Install DVD.dmg in it. Took 4 days to download torrent.
For Vista dual boot: there is a program (free) called TweakVI that installs onto Vista, it gives you the option to download and install EasyBCD, which allows for a variety of multi-boot options: other Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.
If you have Vista on your system already, this is a good way to go.
Once I've a functioning dual boot, I'll document it here.
i burned my iso dvd riht and everything ad nw i can boot th installer but it never starts im on the screen that has the apple and the spinner and then my computer will just restart and i cant ge tthe installer to start

Yeh your Right No one ever answers peoples questions.
I wishi could get as far as you i can get that far i can only get the boot up screen which is grey with the apple logo and im promted with an error dialog "An unrecoverable processor error has been encounted, The Virtual machine will reset"
Dont know if its because i dont have core processors or its cause im using a virtual Pc
What you doing? booting it striaght from the pc hard drive or a virtual machine?
why not check Microsoft Virtual Pc out if you not seen it in action
link is http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/virt...
any one, Why does the patched cd only work on core processors?
You asked about the version for AMD processors. Well, I'm downloadind one that i found in mininova, just search iATKOS and there are two files for AMD, just download the one with more seeds.
I'm also downloading one from rapidshare, but it's splitted in 35 parts of 100Mb each.
If someone wants the rapidshare links, just email me.
diegosiddi@gmail.com
Are you pretty sure thats a genuine Version for the AMD processor or is it just a renamed bit torrent?
Would be interesting to know if it does work on your AMD Let Me know your outcome.
Thanks for the reply. Wel now since you have started it ,please do lemme know if it works. N thn ill try it for myself
thnx again
Go to isohunt.com.
good luck to everyone. i have to admit, i'm too chicken to try this on my new dell with vista! i'd love to see someone have success with this though and write a more thorough how-to!
but it just sits there like that and doesn't do anything. do I need to do something else first???
Thanks
i havnt finished downloading it but i have noticed many more users have successfully installed this version than the users on this forum. Also, here is a video showing how to dual boot this torrent and windows xp. I also will be checking back on here every now and again to reply unlike other users.
thanks
ps this is for Karthik Kastury
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks!
If you are downloading to a FAT/FAT32 location, it will give you that error, as it will not accept single files bigger than 4gig in size. Download to your NTFS partition/HD instead...
wish u a very good morning
i am also one of those who tried to work out the problem and finally succeeded
what all i am writing here is my personal experience and it may not be universal.
let me tell u how to do it
I am a novice user not anyways related to computers but just some logical thoughts
The Problems
1. The installation never makes the boot volume active hence the OS never loads
2. There are two boot loaders (the term may be wrong) hence u have to select one
3. Package selection should be right as its critical
The solutions
please follow these steps
1. Insert the iATKOS disc and boot from it.
2. Press any key for booting from DVD and allow darwin to run.
3. Now u have a screen where there is only one button on the right hand bottom to CLICK and continue.
4. Click and get past the screen.
5. Now wait for sometime and look for the menu bar on the top of the screen.
6. go to UTILITIES > Disk utilities
7. Let it open and create partition (if needed) and format the disk in MAC extended (journaled) format
8. Now quit the utility and again go into UTILITY > DARWIN BOOT
(NOTE: if u r installing the OS on Hard disk 1 it will be shown as disc0
in the case there are partitions the first partition will be shown as s1
Hence disc 1 with 1st partition will be shown as disk0s1
disc 2 with 1st partition will be shown as disk1s1, and so on...)
when u start darwin boot it will ask u to continue
SAY yes by typing "Y" without quotes
it will ask the disk number so give the disk number (only numerals, 1,2,3....) as per ur customization
then it will ask for partition number and give it (only numerals, 1,2,3....)
This will make prepare the installation to find the correct boot volume
.IMPORTANT IMPORTANT ...................................................................
Then it asks for EFI patch at this point just answer yes.
the next step asks for installing DARWIN just say no here
(NOTE these steps are for dual core intel processor)
JUST MAKE SURE this is the point of selection it may be (YES then NO), or NO then NO or NO then YES)
If u get this right u will possibly able to run the OS.
It will complete the process and will automatically logout
after it completes just close it and u will be taken back to the installer screen.
.....................................................................................
There select next next and click customise button
Remove POWERMANAGEMENT and also remove THERMAL kexts (just check the corresponding boxes)
DONT select any graphic adapters for intel on-board graphics card
(Others I have not tried)
install normally and restart the computer after finishing the install.
dont hit any key or remove the DVD from the drive.
Just leave everything on its own and I hope u will see the WELCOME SCREEN
please do reply if u get it done
Thanks for ur try and thanks for keeping ur hopes alive
(If u want to reply just reply in this thread adressing me, i will try to solve ur problem, if I can)

Hey "THE BOSS" i read your post, very informative, i shall try that. Just wanna say i tried to install using vmware with many different hardware configs, no luck so now on to trying it on my laptop. i hope all goes well, must backup. :)
Will post how it goes.
If it doesn't work, then i will give apple a pat on the back for creating this hardware monopoly for there operating system and go ahead and buy a Macbook Pro, in which i can use windows too....
P.S. if you don't even know how to burn the ISO image to a blank DVD then i really don't think you should be trying to install Leopard on your PCs. ( to all those that can't even use a PC properly)
You are experiencing a kernel stack error in which your processor gets reset. Unfortunately i don't know how to fix this problem, but i maybe you can google "kernel stack error" or something to the like to help you figure this clumsy OS out.
when you install lepord can you switch between windows xp and apple by clicking a switch icon or is it one or the other,
Thanks, Matt
I just burnt the disk and its brand new not a scratch in sight has anyone else had this error or know what to do about this. It might be a hardware error as my HD has been playing up so im of to test it on my PC now and see how that goes.
Thanks in advance for any reply's :D Jay
or do i have to reformat my internal hard drive?
also, does this do anything to the bios?
I tried to extrach the iso to a flash drive with magic iso but i get an error i cant copy the files on mac i get an error so please help me please.
I have E1705 Dell, Core 2 Duo 7200, 2GB ram.....
this is bull****.....
if anyone with the similar problems or a configuration???
I had the same problem installing Win XP, but thn i find sata drivers and put in in the installation disk.
What i have to do with Leo? how can i do it?
what could be wrong? do i omit some step? Thanks for your help :)
"when it does successfully install and it tells me to restart im at a black screen with white text telling me to press enter , or v and enter or ? and enter, no matter what i press nothing happens"
and that's the end of the story... no commands work at the boot...
Core 2 Duo mobile, 2GB ram, Sata Hard Drive, IDE DVDRW
PLEASE HELP.
anyway, if anyone has the solution for my problem above, please advise!
I succedded to install it on my laptop! I can see the welcome screen and need to follow up, but it stack on "transfer your information" I choose "do not transfer now" but it keep going to the begining...any Idea??
Thanks
Do I need to install some other patch? or is there any drivers for this?
I downloaded the ISO as you listed in your directions, and then i burned it to a DVD+R idk if this makes a differences or not. I can't get this to boot.
Im running on an HP pavilian DV6000 with an Intel core 2 duo processor with 2 GB of RAM and windows VISTA home premium. Can you help me??
Is a AMD Athlon 64 processor, 2.21 GHz, 512 MB supported?
thru the mac installation I format my HD to FAT32, than re-format it to
MAC extended (journaled).
Give it a try, it worked for me on my Asus laptop
So all people, CHOOSE your nvidia,ATI drivers thru installation!
Anyone succedded to have WiFi??
I want to install the leopard on my PC.

Can someone explain to me on how to do it please?
thanks
You have to install leopard first and the a other partition
steven
Thanks!
i have an intel process but no dualcore (singlecore, 2.8 ghz). does that mean i cant install leopard and my pc will never be a hackintosh?
thnx
any suggestions..it does not proceed any further
1. The iso is in a zip file. You need to unzip it first (XP, Vista or Linux can unzip)
2. You burn this to a single layer DVD using your favorite burn tools. Alcohol 120% is one I like and it has functions such as Demon Tools to mount (huh huh I said mount) a virtual drive.
3. The reason the size of the iso is 2 gb and not 6 gb is that much of the stuff that is on the Apple dual layer DVD has been removed to fit in a single layer DVD.
4. If you do not have one of the supported processors (SSE,) it is NOT going to work on your Pentium M, nor your Pentium 4 HT.
5. You can indeed boot from a USB hard drive as long as your pc supports booting from USB. Also you need to set the MBR as well as the boot record on the drive.
6. If you have files on a NTFS format drive (XP, Vista) or on a ext2 (Linux) you WILL lose data unless you back your stuff up.
If you have any problems with any of these steps (like what is a mbr, or what is NTFS,) maybe you should NOT be doing this. Get your mommy or daddy to buy you a macbook air with leopard already installed.
Jeez.

Greetings from Holland!
make sure your pc is set to boot from CD Rom first, load the dvd press any key to boot from dvd,you gonna get a grey screen with apple logo,it take 1or2 min to load .you should get blue screen with grey toolbar on the top,select utilities from the drop down window select disk utilities ,choose a HDD and formated ot to MAC extended (journaled) after formating you should see your HDD click on it and click continue and install.
ps it's a long process though i install on an AMD PC with no problem
but needed the installation dvd to boot..
after time out the apple boots...

Need some help here,
i have a core2 duo 6000 series processor.
intel 965 board.
well ia have boot formt he disk and it is just showing a apple image along with a (/) cross mark.......
you need to put this file in a torrent client like "utorrent" (google!),
than the "real" download prozess will start and THAN you must wait a long time ;-)
greetings
So turn off the computer and let it start again... they keyboard should work then.
if you are using a USB device. Make sure you plug it in before you restart. Since (atleast for me) the USB doesnt work if plugged in after on.
Also, someone asked about the iTKOS v1.0i... the 2.09 and the 2.44GB files, I believe are pretty much the same. But since the 2.09GB one works for me. So make sure you get the one that works.
Another thing, After installation, and your computer boots leopard, update software .... but make sure you do not update the leopard OS or any drivers that you arent sure of. Beacause (atleast for me) after installation it tells me to restart and then during the apple boot screen it will go Dim and tell me to press the power button and to restart. So if anyone finds out a work around for that let me know.
I tried installing the intel wireless drivers, i believe its the a/b/g drivers for 3... That crashed my computer. Update for OS Leopard crashed it. everything else works fine.. so far.
One last thing, once you finished installed and you really dont want the hassle of installing the OS once again if it crashes, make sure that you make an image of the disk, using disk utility.
Now a lot of people dont explain this properly...ill try.
After installation and making sure the OS X works. Shut down your computer or install things you want to install... like office 08, ilife 08, toast, msn messenger, firefox, quicktime update... blah blah... (make sure you dont update any drivers or experiment installing the OS X leopard update at this time) and then shut down. Put your Leopard DVD in the drive and boot off it and go to the installation of the OS like you did before.
Once it reaches the screen where it asks you to select the harddrive you want to install the deal. click on utilities and go to disk utility. Then click on the harddrive you want to image (the HDD where you installed the leopard). make sure you click on the HDD model and not the HDD name that you gave it. For example i named my primary HDD leopard... but for imaging it, i do not click on leopard, instead right above leopard the HDD model number (Fujitsu....) is listed... so click on that. Then click on the Image button on the top... select the secondary HDD that want to create the image and then leave all the settings as is... and then hit start... While its working... (dont freak when you see that your primary HDD that you are imaging is unmounted) make sure that your secondary HDD size is decreasing. Once its completed. Shutdown the computer by pressing alt + Q and then start your computer as is....
Phew hope that helped... after installing the OS more than 10 times.. i believe this would save everyone the trouble of having to wait to install all the settings and crap like that.

good luck...

hey thanks for the post it is very helpful and it cleared things out in a much better way i tried installing it earlier but was not able to do it..it just stuck on the apple logo...i am again trying it again but before that i wud just like to ask u one thing..
see i am using my 120 gig hdd to install the leopard os..but beside that i have 4 other hdd that are windows formatted and one contains windows vista on it...so i just like to know if after installing the leopard on my 120 gig hdd will i be able to make leopard see my other 4 hdd without any problems and without changing any file system cause i cant afford to loose so much data on those hdd...

intel p4 dual core 2.8 ghz
intel original 865 GSA

512 mb nvidia 6200
plz do post or email me at kartikaye.tripathi@gmail.com
Second problem, a bit simpler: the Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2].iso that I've got weights 4.698MB and simply doesn't want to boot/work at all. Same equipment was used to burn the image - Nero 8. Same goes: what would be your recommendation on this one?
PS. My laptop [Inspiron E1505 Intel Centrino Core Duo] has MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, 1024MB DDR2 and is fully capable of running Leopard [at least that's what I believe].

hey man i tried again to install and did exactly the things tht u told but its not booting in to the os...i went to disk utility and then formated my hdd as mac journal extended and then also made a single partition on the entire drive...see the first prob i got was when i selected darwin from the utilities and then pressed Y for the efi ( it gave me an error saying tht could not unmount error 2 ) and then it automatically said process completed and logged out so then i close the terminal window and then click on continue and then it gives me option to customise so i check the remove processor thermal and the other one as u said ...i also choose nvidia drivers for my card and also then i click on tht efi and then click on continue and it starts installing ..the good news was tht it installed in the first go and it just took 10 min to complete the installation...now after the system is restarted it again gave me the same darwin bootloader and as u said i did not press any key and waited for it to boot ...well it gives me a white screen with apple logo and immediately io get a lot of error codes regardign processor and a debugger called panic.but then wht happens is tht the whilte screen slows keeps on turning black and finally the full screen is black...i then restart the system and then press F8 and then type in -x -v -f rd=disk0s1 and it starts a lot of computing and gives all sort of coding with regards to hardware ...in the end it reaches to a part where it says loading welcome application and then after tht does nothing.....
now the above one i did with the hdd partitioned as master boot record.
next i tried with changin the hdd partition to GUID as its mentioned for mac on intel based..i installled the leopard again and the same thing after the installation...it does not boot into os when i dont press any key the same white screen turning black..and if i press F8 and type -x -v -f rd=disk0s1 now it again starts with the computing but now it reaches a line which says darwin loader ver 9.0 initialising and then it gets stuck there..
any ideas as to wht to do and how to make it work ..
i really want this to work as apple systems are very costly where i live..
thanks really appreciate for the help u providing ppl

First-How do I exactly format one of my HD’s to the proper Mac format? (the steps would be nice)
Second-Is there some button that I need to hold down in order to get my keyboard to function again (I will list my computers specifications at the end)?
The only reason that I am really doing this is due to the fact that HP sent me a corrupted file of Vista and seems unable/unwilling to fix it. Apparently I am running a non-genuine version of Vista straight from HP *shakes fist*

I believe you might have an issue, since you have an AMD processor. You might need to get the AMD compatible leopard.
Anyways, Ill tell you how to erase your drive.
1) Enter Disk Utility
2) Select the drive you want to install or format. You will have to click on the Drive name and not the model number and make.
3) Click on erase
4) Select the MAC OS Extended (jounaled) partition.
5) Click erase.
6) After a few seconds your drive is ready for installation
boot with "-v"

some idea?

How I got mine working:
I had the same problem as you i tried alot of different stuff bit i typed in space?. (Didn't actually type space just pushed the spacebar.)
----------------------------------------
I have a problem.
I have it mac leopard running but i don't get any sound. I tried to play songs in iTunes but it says playing but the numbers don't go up/advance and i get no sound. Can any one help?? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
First i do have the AMD version of the Leopard image. But do i repartition the drive via the DVD i created or through Windows commands, and what if i do not see my 2 HD's under disk utilities?
Thanks for your response also!
You do not need to format using windows commands. Boot through the DVD. Get to the setup for leopard. Once you accept the terms and conditions, it should bring you to a screen where it shows your hard drives. Now, on the top menu bar you will see utilities. Click and enter disk utilities.
Now, I am not sure how many hard drives you have, or if you want to partition a single drive. Based on that I can tell you what to do next.
But if you want to install leopard on a single hardrive with no partitions, after you come to this step, follow the instructions before.
You do not need to pre format your drives before you boot in to leopard. When I installed it, I had Vista running on my laptop. So both my hardrives (Not Partitions, 2 physical drives) were in NTFS state.
Hope this helps.
thank you for the tips. i would try them but i am still not able to use my keyboard. any ideas?
hmm ... you said you have a laptop right? Can you see if the Alt+Q button works? See if any of the keys work. If they are beeping they are working. Just not registering where to type. If they are not beeping, try plugging in a USB keyboard or a PS/2 keyboard if you have a port. Usually, drivers for such basic devices should load without a problem.
If not, you might want to download another version of the leopard-AMD. The same thing happened with me, The DVD I downloaded the first time, did not install properly. I had to try 3 before I got it right. So if nothing works, it might be that the drivers on the DVD have not been copied right or corrupted.
As far as I know keyboard drivers should be installed automatically, since there is no way you can put a driver in to the DVD. Usually most BIOS support USB keyboards.
Try these options and see if they work. Another site where you could get the version of leopard would be phazeddl.c om, that is if you are using rapidshare as your download source
Let me know.
Thanks for the time!
i will try plugging a keyboard in later on today. one last question (hopefully), can you go through step by step how to fix my HD i only have one drive that is partitioned once. i believe that i am confused because i do not see a HD listed anywhere
-x -v -f rd=disk0s1
try tapping enter right after the screen font changes to the smaller size. Keep tapping until you see that you are actually moving the cursor
I have feister ubuntu linux installed in my machine. I have also vista home premium 32 bit and wish to partition the disc for a leopard mac os.
Have you guys tried to run multi os together with leopard? Any configuration to be done before apart from the partitioning? Was just asking cos I installed xp to run in a vista pc for a friend and I had to install SATA drivers etc. and it was a hell of a procedure.
Thanks,
Josembi (Milan)
I have downloaded the r2 patch but the link to the instructions was bad. can someone please send me a link or post them on here for me. thanks Also what all does this patch include.
A. You need make sure that your partion is selected to boot.
You can do this by making a gpart live cd. Then boot that up and choose auto config. After that loads choose your partion right click on it and choose flags and select boot. Restart with eject cd and pop the ISO that you used back in. It should automatically load to leopard for you to start but if it restarts or stays at the cursor screen then type -x -v - f rd=disk0s1 (if it is that partion, but if not you could always go back into install and go to disk utility, click info to find partion name). It should now work but if your pc still restarts try tapping enter after the text that says loading and only when the text becomes a smaller size. You should be able to get it to work now.
B. You installed bootloader with efi. If A did not work then erase partion and install without choose no patches and see if that works

My hardware matches a MAC book. When i inserted the APPLE leopard dvd i bought ( Factory version from apple) All my drivers for my hardware are acually on the DVD. Since apple supplies this software for an Intel 945 chipset im guessing that leopard should work with the right patch. The only thing i can possibly see is the BIOS Stopping the Iatkos from loading. Im affraid that if i disrup Bios on my computer it won't allow me to restore my HP Pavilian back to factory settings, because it uses the information from BIOS. Im only 15 doing this for a school project so can someone tell me if im on the right track?
and I can't even boot the install. You guys are smart to be able to get this far, and get it to work with alot of peoples computers. Im really sure that this should be able to work. If anyone at all has had an installer stop at the apple logo and got past it, Please let me know and share how you got past it I'll do the same for you. ^_^
I have leopard working on my dell e1405 with 1.76 duo core processor but with no wifi and no audio, but I have my ethernet port working as i am writing this from leopard. Also I have windows vista installed on here. I use a GPart live cd where I switch between which partion i am to load from.
I installed leopard with iAtokas after i upgraded it with the version 2. You can get it here: http://etsi.pl/iatkos_r2.html
I don't know why so many people are having problems. Even though i have to bootload from the cd everytime because if I don't I get a hfs+ partition error, i get by it with -x -v -f rd=disk0s1 and when it starts running after loading I tap enter until I am able to move the cursor. That usually gets it to work.

Try getting the image off of mininova (yeah it takes forever) then upgrade the download with the link I posted before. The use magiciso to burn it but make sure you choose the slowest burn speed possible if not the information on the disk won't be fully readable
1St: Cant Get Wired Or Wirless Ethernet To Work.
2nd: No Audio Devices Found Acording To Mac.
3rd: When I boot I Am Always Booting Into Mac Safe Mode Anyone Know How To Stop Booting Into Safe Mode.
The reason you can't get those to work is because you don't have compatible hardware that will work with the leopard system.
Next the reason that you have to keep booting innsafe mode might be the fact that you have to forceboot because according to leopard it isn't supposed to be on a pc.
I have an acer aspire 5920g with Vista home premium and i want to try. I download the the torrent and i opened it with Azureus, now i am downloading with 50kb/s. What i do wrong?Please help me sameone.thk.
After Completley Wiping Out System And Reinstalled With Just Using All efi Options And The Broadcom Ethernet Driver It All Works.
The Only Thing That Doesnt Work Is The Sound. The Specs Of My Laptop I have Already Posted On Here And its not dead exact as macbook but very very close. If u or anyone else knows how to get sigmatel aduio to work let me kno thanks.
ok what do you mean you got everything to work? Can you bootload without the cd img? And if your pc has wifi capabilities, are you able to use it?
Well anyways, about your audio problem, I think that the best way for you to try and get the sound to work is to go to the sigmatel drivers page and see if you can find the drivers there that might be compatible to work on leopard. There pretty much isnt any other solution right now.
Something that is made for leopard :)
Ok After Wiping Out my laptop i got everything to work except for audio and some video problems. No i cant boot with out the cd in the drive. Havent figured it out yet but when it pops up for cd i hit f8 then type
-x-v-f rd=disk0s1. Also my laptop has wifi and it works. It registers as apple airport and i can select my network.If u look up a few u will c my laptop specs and model that i am working with. I have followed a guide off hack attack for my laptop model. Eeverything works know with using his guide. The Auio Perfect as far as i can tell. Video No Problems even with games. Wifi No problem very very fast. I havent installed the 10.5.2 as kinda nervous to.
Wow ok that is pretty cool that you were able to get the wifi working. Can you post the guide so that I can see if I could get my wifi to work, because I am using a 1500 dell mini card.
Also about updating I would say hold back on it unless you are quite sure that it will work on your comp. Many people who have updated haven't had there leopard work again until they reinstalled, you wouldn't want that
The update for the Dual Boot Tutorial was posted on Dec 22nd :(
Here is the guide i used to get everything working. As far as the wifi goes it was atomatically installed by Iatkos Disk. THIS IS NOT MY GUIDE DONT ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. This also covers DUAL BOOTING ON DELL VOSTRO 1500. I cant guratnee it will work for all systems this jsut worked for my dell vostro 1500.
Okay! Since this community was so helpful in getting my Vostro 1500 turned into a Hackbook Pro, and it required flipping through several different threads, i thought I would compile everything I had to look up into one Mega Vostro thread. This information took me from a stock Vostro 1500 with Windows XP Home, to a Dual Booting, 10.5.2 Leopard w/ Vanilla 9.2.0 Kernel, and XP Pro X64. I will also do my best to provide links to 64 bit XP drivers for this unit, as that was honestly the most time consuming, and headache causing part of this whole ordeal. I will also let you know that I have not found a working 56k Modem driver for Windows XP x64, so if this is a deal breaker, you can just stop reading here!
First I'm going to start with the basics, this guide is written for a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop speced as follows:
Model - Vostro 1500
CPU - Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5270 (1.4GHz/800Mhz FSB/2MB cache)
Operating System - Genuine Windows XP Home Edition (Changing out to OS X 10.5.1 & Windows XP Professional)
LCD Panel - 15.4" inch Wide Screen XGA LCD Display
Memory - 2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz, 2 DIMM
Video Card - 128MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8400M GS
Hard Drive - 160GB 5400RPM Hard Drive
Integrated NIC and Modem - Integrated 10/100 Network Card and Modem
Optical Drive - 8X CD/DVD+RW Read and Burn CD and DVD
Sound Card - High Definition Audio 2.0
Wireless Cards - Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g Wi-Fi Mini Card
Primary Battery - 85 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
Bluetooth - Wireless Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Internal (2.0 + Enhanced Data Rate)
At the end of this guide, if you have this configuration, you should have a working Vostro 1500 that Dual Boots Leopard and XP x64 where 98% of OSx86 is working. I will tell you right now the following I have not bothered to start messing with ATM, and are not currently working.
Speedstep - I work primarily plugged in, and I have it disabled in the BIOS because I want to be at 1.4 Ghz at all times, so I don't really care if this works or not.
Battery Meter - There is a wonderful guide for this in MacGirl's Dell thread (found here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopi...) that I'm sure if I took the time, it would work, but I haven't so it doesn't.
Sleep - Were you really expecting it to anyways?
Reboot/Power Down - Reboot was working at initial install, but since I patched the audio it hasn't been. The system blacks out, but never totally shuts off, I just do that manually. If anyone has a fix for this, I would really appriciate it as it's the only thing about my install that kind of bugs me.
What is working:
Dual Core CPU
1280x800 Resolution w/ full switching and QE/CI support, Dual Monitor shows up but is untested
Properly Detects RAM speed and Processor Type
Integrated 10/100 LAN
DVD Read tested and working fine, have yet to test writing
Audio working on internal speakers and headphone jack, have not tested mic in
Wireless out of the box, detected as Airport
Bluetooth
This should give you everything you need for everyday use, the system also stays very cool, never getting warmer then it does normally in windows, I dont' have an exact temp for you sorry.
Alright, now that we know what to expect once you've finished up, lets get start on the making it work part. You will need to following:
1 x copy iATKOSir2 Burned to DVD (iATKOSi will probably work as well, I just had iATKOSir2 burned already)
1 x copy GParted Live CD
1 x copy Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (I recommend a volume license, easier that way.)
1 x Vostro 1500 as configured above
1 x kalyway_hack_10.5.2ComboUpdate
1 x kalyway_10.5.2_kernels.mpkg.zip
Patience
Time
A basic working knowledge of your computer
First! Power up your Vostro and make sure it is set to boot to DVD first, then HDD. Once this is done, insert your iATKOSir2 DVD and reboot.
Let iATKOSir2 load, and then open Disc Utility. Select a 2 Partition Configuration, and size them accordingly for what you want each OS to have. I have mine split evenly, with 80 GB dedicated to each OS.
Format partition 1 as HFS+ Journaled, and leave partition 2 as Free Space.
Once this is done, close Disc Utility, and continue your install to the HFS+ Journaled partition, mine is called Leopard. When you get to the screen with the Customize option, click it and select the following options ONLY!
EFI Bootloader and all sub options
Broadcom 440x Network Driver
Then click continue, and skip the DVD check, and prepare to wait, it takes a bit for the OS to install.
Once this is done, the system should say Successfully Installed! and show you the Green Checkmark of success +1! Restart your laptop, and insert your GParted Live CD. Press enter through the options until you get to the disc utility.
Next you are going to want to select your HFS+ Journaled partition and enable the Boot flag to make that drive bootable. Once this is done, you can close the disc utility, and reboot your system. Remove the GParted Live CD and you should be prompted with the darwin boot loader.
At this point, press enter, and boot with the -v flag just to be safe, the system shouldn't hang up, but just in case, I always boot with -v on the first run through. Once the system runs through its boot, you should be booted with a choppy version of the Leopard Intro Video. Don't Panic! We're going to make the graphics work very shortly.
Run through the account creation process, and press Clover+Q to skip the registration page, (it should be Alt+Q on your keyboard) and boot to your new Leopard Desktop for the first time.
Once at the desktop, we have a couple of things to take care of, namely Video, Audio and Updating to 10.5.2 w/ vanilla kernel 9.2.0 + Leopard Graphics Update.
First we're going to start with graphics, I tried several different installers to make my 8400M GS 128 work, and in the end the only one that actually worked for me was this one: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopi...
You want to click GET IT HERE in the first post, then go to the DOWNLOAD PAGE and getNVInstaller v.33.
Once this file is downloaded, you want to run the .pkg files and install for your card accordingly, which should be the following options:
Final 10.5.2 kexts
128mb card
then click continue and let the installer do its thing. Reboot, and you should now have fully working graphics with Resolution switching, and full QE/CI. To be safe, once again when you reboot, I would recommend booting with -v to debug any issues that might incur.
Next step, working audio! This one took me a few trys, but thankfully, the wiki for 10.5.1 on this unit will work perfectly, I'm going to link it here, and then explain it. Here is the wiki link: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...le...
For those too lazy to click through, here is basically what you want to do.
- Get the AppleHDA Patcher v1.20 from here - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopi...
- Get the Stac9205.txt Linux Codec dump from here - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp...
- Get the AppleHDA.kext.zip file from here - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp...
Put these files on your desktop. Once this is done, you want to drag the Stac9205.txt file into AppleHDA Patcher v1.20. You will see some text in the box, and then it will say Done or Complete or something along those lines. Now, before you reboot, take the AppleHDA.kext file you downloaded fromt he last link, and put it in System/Library/Extensions. It will ask you to authenticate with your user password, and overwrite the file, this is fine, do so.
Then go to Applications/Utilities/Disc Utility, select your Leopard install drive, and repair permissions, then reboot. Again I recommend using the -v flag to check for errors, but you shouldn't encounter any.
Once OS X boots again you should not have fully working audio, at least to the extent I have tested it.
This is all I really had to do to get the machine to the point I'm happy with it driver wise. Next, we're going to move on to the 10.5.2 update, which is a relatively simple process.
For this process, I used the following link: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&....
For those of you too lazy to click through again, I'm going to quote that post, and give my thanks to Kalyway for this update, as well as Foodie Monster for the process that worked for me, so thanks guys!
QUOTE
Excuse me if I quote one of my favorite games of '07 here: "This was a triumph. I'm making a note here, HUGE SUCCESS!"
I am now running Mac OS X 10.5.2, with Vanilla Kernel 9.2 (Yup the updated one!), GUID, EFI and all that stuff! Just wanted to report to all of you that on my system (check specs in my Signature) I just did the following:
1) Procure the necessary files: Search at "The Bay" (You know, where everybody says "Yarr!", drink Grog and eat oranges to fight scurvy) for the files: you are looking for Kalyway's ComboUpdate for 10.5.2 as well as the other file, the Updated Kernel (I can't link here, but do a search for "kalyway" for the first file, and a search for "kernel" for the second file - make sure you sort by date so you can find it easily smile.gif )
2) Once you have the files, BACKUP ANY IMPORTANT DATA - Everything in Hackintosh is YMMV, so if you are playing the game, might as well know the rules. Only once you've done this, you can proceed to installing the Combo Update (KalywayUpdCombo10.5.2.pkg) - Yes there are other files in your download, don't worry about them.
3) Once that's done and it asks you to restart, leave the window open and open up Disk Utility. Why? Because repairing permissions is never a bad idea. I don't know if it's necessary, but I did it and my system is working perfectly with no hitches.
4) Restart your system by clicking the Button. Once you do this, you'll see the Apple Screen, and after a long while, the system will reboot. THIS IS NORMAL! Don't panic! Once it reboots, it'll stay in the Apple Screen again, and then everything will go black. Very black. The system will stay that way for several minutes (some people say up to 3-4 minutes, it was about 2-3 for me), but after that period in which no doubt you've been holding your breath, you'll see the Blue desktop signaling that it lives! And after a few moments, your wallpaper will pop up and congrats, you are now in 10.5.2! biggrin.gif
Now, if you don't want the new Kernel, you are done here. Go make yourself a sandwich. If you do want to install the new Kernel though, do the following:
5) After doing all of above, crack open the new "kalyway_10.5.2_kernels.mpkg.zip" file. Inside there'll be a file called "kalyway_10.5.2_kernels.mpkg". Run this, and you'll have 2 options. Select the appropriate for your system - there's a description when you select either that'll help you chose. In my case, I chose the first one for Vanilla Kernel.
6) Reboot when prompted. It'll boot back into your desktop, no fuzz, and you'll have the 9.2.0 Darwin kernel. Congratulations! YOU NEW KING OF FIGHTERS!
So there you have it. Mind you, I have not installed the Graphics Update yet, not until I hear some confirmation that it won't screw up my Install. But if you are not hard pressed for that Graphics Update, those are the steps I followed to get my system to be up-to-date to the latest version of OS X, with the latest Kernel.
Hope that helps any of you! Cheers and good luck!
Once you finished with that process, that's pretty much it! You can now proceed to do the Leopard Graphics Update and not worry about anything, it works perfectly fine on this build. You should now have a fully updated Leopard install with 10.5.2 compliments of iATKOS and Kalyway (thanks again guys!) with a full 9.2.0 Vanilla Kernel.
Now, if you have no interest in Dual Booting your machine, scurry off and start installing whatever OS X apps you want (I recommend Onyx, Geekbench, XSlimmer, Adium and Parallels Desktop {for when you're too lazy to reboot to hit windows if you are dual booting})
If, however, you are interested in dual booting, it's time to move on to Installing Windows XP Professional X64.
Dual Booting!
For this section, you will be using that XP Pro x64 disc I was talking about. To start, reboot your computer with the XP Pro x64 disc in drive, and begin the setup process.
Once you get to the partition options, it will tell you that another partition on this machine has been marked as bootable, and that windows will need to change this in order for the computer work properly, and that you can change this option from within windows at any time. Don't worry about it, and let it change the boot flag on this partition.
You should now be looking at 2 partitions, mine listed as this
C: Unknown Partition
E: Unpartitioned Space
You want to select E: and partition create a New Partition on it, and then reboot your system.
The reason for this is that windows automatically assigns any valid partition C:, even if it can't use it. If you try and install to E: it's going to give you a headache in the long run, so just partition and reboot.
Once back to this screen, proceed to install XP Pro x64 to your new C: Partition, which should now show up as:
C: New Partition
I just formatted it to NTFS (quick) and let the installer do it's thing.
Once this is all done, you should be looking at your XP x64 Desktop.
I'm also going to highlight this simply for the irony of it. It is easier to get OSx86 to work on this laptop, then to get an x64 build of windows to function properly, the drivers are buried in Dell's website, or often the manufacturers directly, and it took me about 4 or 5 hours to get everything working.
As I'm sure most of you are familiar with windows, I'm not going to go into a long detailed process on how to install drivers unless they are particularly hard, what I will do is provide links to the proper drivers, so you don't have the wild goose chase I did getting this thing to work. So here we go
Start with this driver, as it's the Intel Chipset - http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/...p;...
To get the nVidia GeForce 8400M GS 128 to work you will need to get the latest drivers from this link - http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp64_169.21_whq... and get the modified INF file from this link - http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index....sh...
Run the nvidia installer until it tells you that there has been no compatible video device on this computer. Then go to C:\NVIDIA\Win2KAMD64\169.21\English and put the modified .INF file in this directory. Once that's done run Setup.exe again, and it should install your graphics driver properly.
For the Broadcom Network card you want this driver - http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/44...
For the Dell 1490 Wifi Card you want this driver - http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/...p;...
For the Dell 355 Bluetooth you want this driver - http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/...p;...
For Audio you want this driver - http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/int...-h...
For the 3 Base System Devices you want this driver - http://members.driverguide.com/driver/deta...mp... (This is all three aspects of the card reader, one for each, you'll have to try each one separately as I don't remember the proper order)
I believe thats it really. I don't recall there being any other issues with this unit. I will of course tell you you need to go and grab XP SP2 for x64 Professional, which is about 350 MB, happy downloading and that you should run a full course of windows updates afterwards.
Once this is all said and done, and your windows install is configured the way you like it, the dual boot step is super easy, at least it was for me. All you do is reboot, and put the GParted Live CD back in your computer, and re-mark the HFS+ Journaled partition as bootable, and when the darwin boot loader comes up, you hit enter, it should now give you the following options
(hd0,1)Leopard
(hd0,2)Windows
Which is pretty self explanatory, pick Leopard for OS X and Windows for your windows install.
So, yep, that should take care of it honestly! If I missed any XP x64 Drivers, please let me know and I'll dig up which ones I missed and try and get them posted here for you, as I know its a pain in the ass to try and find them all scattered all over the intarwebs.
Again I would like to thank the following members of the community that got this up and running with their subsequent guides and files and other contributions to this project:
macgirl
Kalyway
ToH and the whole iATKOS Team
Foodie Monster

Once it reboots, it'll stay in the Apple Screen again, and then everything will go black. Very black. The system will stay that way for several minutes (some people say up to 3-4 minutes, it was about 2-3 for me), but after that period in which no doubt you've been holding your breath, you'll see the Blue desktop signaling that it lives! And after a few moments, your wallpaper will pop up and congrats, you are now in 10.5.2! biggrin.gif
Now, if you don't want the new Kernel, you are done here. Go make yourself a sandwich. If you do want to install the new Kernel though, do the following:
5) After doing all of above, crack open the new "kalyway_10.5.2_kernels.mpkg.zip" file. Inside there'll be a file called "kalyway_10.5.2_kernels.mpkg". Run this, and you'll have 2 options. Select the appropriate for your system - there's a description when you select either that'll help you chose. In my case, I chose the first one for Vanilla Kernel.
6) Reboot when prompted. It'll boot back into your desktop, no fuzz, and you'll have the 9.2.0 Darwin kernel. Congratulations! YOU NEW KING OF FIGHTERS!
So there you have it. Mind you, I have not installed the Graphics Update yet, not until I hear some confirmation that it won't screw up my Install. But if you are not hard pressed for that Graphics Update, those are the steps I followed to get my system to be up-to-date to the latest version of OS X, with the latest Kernel.
Hope that helps any of you! Cheers and good luck!
Once you finished with that process, that's pretty much it! You can now proceed to do the Leopard Graphics Update and not worry about anything, it works perfectly fine on this build. You should now have a fully updated Leopard install with 10.5.2 compliments of iATKOS and Kalyway (thanks again guys!) with a full 9.2.0 Vanilla Kernel.
Now, if you have no interest in Dual Booting your machine, scurry off and start installing whatever OS X apps you want (I recommend Onyx, Geekbench, XSlimmer, Adium and Parallels Desktop {for when you're too lazy to reboot to hit windows if you are dual booting})
If, however, you are interested in dual booting, it's time to move on to Installing Windows XP Professional X64.
Dual Booting!
For this section, you will be using that XP Pro x64 disc I was talking about. To start, reboot your computer with the XP Pro x64 disc in drive, and begin the setup process.
Once you get to the partition options, it will tell you that another partition on this machine has been marked as bootable, and that windows will need to change this in order for the computer work properly, and that you can change this option from within windows at any time. Don't worry about it, and let it change the boot flag on this partition.
You should now be looking at 2 partitions, mine listed as this
C: Unknown Partition
E: Unpartitioned Space
You want to select E: and partition create a New Partition on it, and then reboot your system.
The reason for this is that windows automatically assigns any valid partition C:, even if it can't use it. If you try and install to E: it's going to give you a headache in the long run, so just partition and reboot.
Once back to this screen, proceed to install XP Pro x64 to your new C: Partition, which should now show up as:
C: New Partition
I just formatted it to NTFS (quick) and let the installer do it's thing.
Once this is all done, you should be looking at your XP x64 Desktop.
I'm also going to highlight this simply for the irony of it. It is easier to get OSx86 to work on this laptop, then to get an x64 build of windows to function properly, the drivers are buried in Dell's website, or often the manufacturers directly, and it took me about 4 or 5 hours to get everything working.
As I'm sure most of you are familiar with windows, I'm not going to go into a long detailed process on how to install drivers unless they are particularly hard, what I will do is provide links to the proper drivers, so you don't have the wild goose chase I did getting this thing to work. So here we go
Start with this driver, as it's the Intel Chipset - http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/...p;...
To get the nVidia GeForce 8400M GS 128 to work you will need to get the latest drivers from this link - http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp64_169.21_whq... and get the modified INF file from this link - http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index....sh...
Run the nvidia installer until it tells you that there has been no compatible video device on this computer. Then go to C:\NVIDIA\Win2KAMD64\169.21\English and put the modified .INF file in this directory. Once that's done run Setup.exe again, and it should install your graphics driver properly.
For the Broadcom Network card you want this driver - http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/44...
For the Dell 1490 Wifi Card you want this driver - http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/...p;...
For the Dell 355 Bluetooth you want this driver - http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/...p;...
For Audio you want this driver - http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/int...-h...
For the 3 Base System Devices you want this driver - http://members.driverguide.com/driver/deta...mp... (This is all three aspects of the card reader, one for each, you'll have to try each one separately as I don't remember the proper order)
I believe thats it really. I don't recall there being any other issues with this unit. I will of course tell you you need to go and grab XP SP2 for x64 Professional, which is about 350 MB, happy downloading and that you should run a full course of windows updates afterwards.
Once this is all said and done, and your windows install is configured the way you like it, the dual boot step is super easy, at least it was for me. All you do is reboot, and put the GParted Live CD back in your computer, and re-mark the HFS+ Journaled partition as bootable, and when the darwin boot loader comes up, you hit enter, it should now give you the following options
(hd0,1)Leopard
(hd0,2)Windows
Which is pretty self explanatory, pick Leopard for OS X and Windows for your windows install.
So, yep, that should take care of it honestly! If I missed any XP x64 Drivers, please let me know and I'll dig up which ones I missed and try and get them posted here for you, as I know its a pain in the ass to try and find them all scattered all over the intarwebs.
Again I would like to thank the following members of the community that got this up and running with their subsequent guides and files and other contributions to this project:

I'm about to look around with Partition Magic, and see what I can do. It looks like bigfdaddy's tutorial deals with a clean install...
So can anyone help?
Tried installing the 10.5.2 update like it stated in my previouse post. It worked for me but i lost my audio and wifi. So reinstalled 10.5.1 and know when i repair permissions i get Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired. How do i repair or fix this problem. I have never seen this till know. Also i have lost the speaker icon up top but still get sound. Cant figure out how that happened.
If u dont whant to lose any xp stuff then i would get something like acronis disk director. it allows you to split hard drive and other necesary things u need. Also It includes acronis os selector that might be usefull to u.
TO EVERYONE THE TUTORIALS I LISTED ARE NOT MINE ALL CREDIT NEEDS TO GO TO HACKINTOSH.ORG AND EVERYONE ELSE LISTED ON THEM. I JUST POSTED FOR PEOPLE TO READ.
I have Acronis now, but everytime I create a partition, and finalize it, after i reboot its not there. I also tell it not to pick a file system, which could be why. Any idea what file system I should put it as?
Ok u have it split in two partions. dont worry about not seeing it. Pop in the mac dvd and use the disk utility program in it and format that blank partion as mac journaled. that should take care of it. then go ahead and install everything u need for youre pc. I beleive that should take care of it. If someone else knows any better way then please jump in.This is the way i am doing it since i jsut put vista on my laptop and am getting ready to install mac also. then install acronis os selector to use to dual boot.
Choose auto config then allow to load, follow directions.
Then when you see your partions right click the partion you want to boot and choose manage flags. Check the boot box then restart and you are all good
thnx
john
PLEASE
ANSWER
ME!
THANK YOU
the weird thing is when i sent my laptop in for repair they replaced my intel pentium 4 for a AMD Turion64
So would it be safe to try to install it?
Reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
U should look for a amd approved disk. U might have just an intel disk so it might not work if that is the case.
When u boot type -v rd=disk0s1. That might help.
ERRORS - at least the ones I could remember lol
com.apple.driver ... has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi ... use only 1 styl
cant mount /dev/disk1s1
core raid server not responding.
Then it goes right to install screen.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thxs
First of all, I would like to thank you for the support you have already provided me. I'm being really cautious on this right now just because I have some files I dont feel like backing up, and dont want to reinstall XP.
Basically, I already have 2 partitions. My main, and a recovery partition.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y151/partyboy1...
Basically, do I just create a new one, select use free space of other partitions, set it as primary, No file system, Assign as a letter, finish, and then Commit?
Because I have done that, and it resulted in nothing.
Thanks again for the support you have provided already :)
Thanks
but oops, its already hacked.
GOOD, I hope everyone hacks the hell out of it., next time listen to your user demands apple.
What i would do is delete the recovery partion then make a knew one with acronis to what ever size u whanted. Then try installing mac. That is the best solution that i can think of.
What i would do is pop in the iATKOS disk And install the broadcom adapter. That is how i got mine working on my dell.
What i would do is pop in the iATKOS disk And install the broadcom adapter. That is how i got mine working on my dell. Other then trying the other patches for wirless and ethernet.
can u explain me about iATKOS how to get and get it work.
So far wat i have seen it has an good interface but lack tools to customize. Windows device manager & better power management tools.. itunes sucks ass windows media player is a way better option.. there other small stuffs which wont actual make me a mac user. but i will give it more time after i get it to work.
Thanks again for the help
Anyways I love freaking leopard, super hella fast for me at least. I got everything running that is needed for me to be complete with a comp.
All I need now is somebody to post a link for a keygen to iWork and iLife then I am set to go chya!!!
i have windows vista installed.. if i make a new partition can i instal iatkos without formatting is.. i really need my information on windows vista...
thanks!!
As Far As Bootlader When U have Disk In And it asks u to install hit f8 and type -v rd=disk0s1 That should help out if not try reinstalling.
and tinks, what do you have to do to get it to work???
The way i have it to boot with out disk is having 2 partions. 1 st partion is mac 2nd is vista. Every time i boot up it says push f8 for advanced startup options then i just hit the mac and it runs. without disk being in.
Know when i didnt have the 2 partions and it was jsut mac i always had to use disk. It seems as tho even with the hard drive set to boot with jsut mac the boot loader doesnt recognize mac being their unless u have another operating system installed for it to scan or the dvd in that scans that hard drive and sees that mac is their.
IF U HAVE JUST MAC INSTALLED KEEP DVD IN AFTER INSTALLING AND WHEN IT BOOTS HIT F8 THEN TYPE
-V RD=DISK0S1.
That is how i got into mac with itself installed
Cheers
downloaded and tried the install on my celeron M Compaq laptop, at first it worked, then it didnt.
reinstalled it on my external usb hard drive and get stuck in a loop at the transfer data from my old mac stage. each time I reboot and use the rd=disk1s1 (as this is my external partion) but keep getting stuck at the loop
Can someone post what they did to pass this problem?
Is there any solution to let it work??
PLLEASSEE????
But, when I started the installer back up, marked the partition as active, and restarted, my system sat at a blinking "-" sign :(
I guess my HP a350 is not suitable for it :(
Btw, thanks again for your help bigfdaddy

Hey did you make sure to create a partition for you to format into hfs+?
Set up:
Dell D620 Laptop
1.66 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
1gb RAM
I can get my disk formatted into OS Extended (Journaled), run Darwin_boot just fine and then start installing. Between 1/2 and then end of the installation, it seems that the installation cuts out and reboots the system going back to the "Install" screen. I've attempted booting from HD after this assuming that perhaps the install finished and Automatically rebooted. All I get is a flashing cursor when booting from HD after the install.
After reading through some of the posts it looks like using the following commands may allow me to boot up, but I'm truly not sure. I'm just looking for confirmation.
Would either of these, either through the install DVD or from the cursor on boot allow me to boot up into leopard?
-x-v-f rd=disk0s1
or
-v rd=disk0s1
In addition, is there anything special I should be doing for the dual core processor? Should I be installing the PC-EFI? or not?
Anything else I might be missing?
Thanks for any and all help.

You have to keep moving your mouse during installation
i did try formatting it to fat 32 i even left it unpartitioned what else to try
its not listed in system profiler in mac installer
"no sata devices connected check if its powered" is wat it says
That's it? Just keep moving the mouse while it installs? After it got about halfway again, it rebooted and then when I finally got it to start booting, it won't get past the set up section: "Do you already own a Mac?".
I'll start over and try it with moving the mouse. Is there a certain amount of time I'm able to to wait between moving the mouse and not? Or does it need to be in constant motion?
I downloaded the iAtkos torrent from mininova for amd. Tried installin it in Vmware..however it dint work, gave me an error of some missing file.Another thing, whn i load the image in a virtual drive it shows the disc size as only arnd 580Kb..any help??
thnx
Leopard fully installed. However, during set up, when I get to the "Do you already own a Mac" section, I click "Don't transfer anything" and then hit continue. Following this, it hangs for about 60 seconds, then goes back to the first welcome screen. Any ideas?
I had the same problem you had (about the rebooting half way)!
I ended up following a youtube tutorial using the JAS system instead.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=VxwuYTnfL-I
First try going into your bios and under performance disable multiprocessing. This should get leopard to run perfect with no errors what so ever.
If it still doesn't work try erasing partion and reinstalling. You should only install the efi bootloader and in networking install broadcom. After that you should pretty much be set.
If still doesn't work right you could always use the updated version. You have to run a program and your iso is updated. You can download here http://etsi.pl/iatkos_r2.html
-Destructo-
Once I disabled dualcore processing, it worked like a charm. boots up no problem.
Now to see if I can find the proper ethernet/wireless drivers...
Broadcom 57xx
or
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG?
Thanks again for all help... you guys rock.
Sorry but I don't think that you are going to get the intel card to work, because I haven't heard of anyone who has one that works. I have a dell closely resembling yours, but I have the dell draft 1500 wireless mini and upon booting up the computer it instantly recognized it while saying it was airport. Well hopefully you find the drivers and good luck. As for me I am looking for a way to update leopard to 10.5.2 without losing all my programs that i already installed. If any one knows how do update please post.
No worries. After researching around, looks like it works for 10.4, but not 10.5. Oh well. Going back to XP for now. It was damn cool to at least be able to boot leopard on a PC. Hopefully a 57xx patched driver or an intel patched driver will come out at some point.
Good luck with the update!
This locks me out from new software, such as iTunes. Is it safe to update? I think last time I tired, it crashed.. probably because it wasn't patched
and i am using a pc to install leopard
thanks
Please drop in your views on the guide.
I Have Installe OSX but it won't show anthing on the screen when i get past the Apple boot screen!
Anybody godt an ide on how to solv this problem??
About my previous comment though.. Can I update?
also, when i burnt the DVD, it said it was only like 100kb in size, is that correct (as the torrent is 2.09gb)?
please someone help me as i am busting to use mac os x leopard on my laptop instead of windows vista!!!
Boot would freeze at Apple screen.
Tried with -v for diagnostic messages
Got the following error message at the point it stops. "Extension "com.apple.driver.ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin" has immediate dependences in both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpl components; use only one style

i was struck with same problem mine was a sata so i tried fixing it by using a patched dvd for sata
it worked for me iam success fully into next step
also make sure your hard disk isnot partitioned and erased by windows
use partition editor from linux cd
I have installed MacOsX Leopard on my PC successfully, and boots directly from the hard drive whitout any adicional code..
I have a Pentium IV 3.2 Ghz CPU with 2 Gb Kingston 600 Mhz in Ram, an Asus P5GDC de Luxe Motherborad, Maxtor 80 Gb Sata I HD and a Ati Saphire 1650XT Graphic card.
First of all I have created a partition of 15Gb on my hard drive, according to what recomends inihilist in his guide. The hard drive was installed on the second sata master port and the DVDrom Asus Sata 20x on the first sata master port.
I have deactivated the hypertreading.
Leopard recognized almost everything, incluging the network and my kensington bluetooth dongle, except the HD audio integrated.
The only bad thing is that it doesn`t recognize the native resolution of my LCD viewsonic monitor of 1280x1024, offering only 1024x768.
I hope my experience can be usefull.
If anyone knows how to correct the monitor resolution and activate the audio, please tell me.
1. since onboard ethernet cant work, i installed a pci wifi adaptor which cant work as well
2. i have 3 hdd; 1. sata 80gb samsung [xp] seen in leopard, 2. sata 250gb leopard 3. sata 500gb which isnt seen in leopard
3. must the dvd be in the drive & boot from dvd?

I've burned it into a DVD-R Verbatim succesfully.
I load it into my teac DVD RW and boot from BIOS the iatkos. it's strat loading for a few minutes and i get the mac interface with the instalation screen. I select disk utility and erase a parion to zero with the mac osx extended format type. After that the partition appears to the instalation screen so i can select it to instal mac os x leopard. i chose to install it with some drivers that i hope to work on my PC, it installs in exactly 10 minutes and then ask me to reboot the computer. I left the DVD into the DVD RW drive but when the computer boot again on screen appear the grey background with a power sign (no a button) and over that a transparent square witch tells me that is strongly recomended to restart my computer by holding for 5 seconds the power button or press the reset button.

thanks!
i have just finnished downloading ISO Image and burnt it to a DVD. whenever i pop it into my laptop, and enter ‘ boot-up options > boot from DVD’, nothing happens! It shows a _ for a while, then just starts up windows vista!
also, when i burnt the DVD, it said it was only like 100kb in size, is that correct (as the torrent is 2.09gb)?
please someone help me as i am busting to use mac os x leopard on my laptop instead of windows vista!!!
system config file ' /com.apple.boot.plist' not found.
anyone eles getting this?
I boot from HDD and then it appears the file is missing...
If someone can help us all he is wellcomed verry well....
waiting for post...thank you all!
please anybody help me..when i istall it...then below this massege......
Install failed
the installer couldnot creat the folder'/volumes/untitled 1/Base System.pkg.1561T00u2
so...please tell me what is the problems..how can i solve this??????????
plz answer diss i need OS X urgently
!!
Different from DualCore processors that have 2 cores. Your P4 3.2GHz is a single core processor, like non core processor if you want.
I have a P4 3.0 GHz processor also non core.
about the guy hos looking the link to download the iso, well if you look in google can found it, but if you just take some time to download a torrent, (i guess you know how to doit), look in the may places that are in the www for publish torrents, (like mininova or piratebay)
this is a good step by step How to...so its easy cake...
for the ones who have a missing file, i guess its becouse a wrong burn of the disc or a to fast download, so try to download the image in low speed, or if you have a lower one....use that...remember that you are downloadin a lot of files (littleones and big ones) so...try that
I very tankfull with this men....i can connecto to intertet now without any problem of a virus, use mac programs, and of course a good looking pc turn ito a mac XD
Nice work men!
single core processors
Here's my thoughts on it all.
Do your research before posting. I know very little about computers and have managed to install OSX on an external Hard drive and it's running perfect.
Here's what I did to install it.
I read. And read. And read some more. And googled, and searched, and researched, and DID NOT ASK STUPID QUESTIONS. If you don't know how to do something, RESEARCH IT!!! Don't just post questions. Everyone who has successful installed it is probably not going to respond; they're going to be too busy playing with OSX or getting their drivers to work.
So, to sum it all up, research before you post questions. And if you can't figure it out after researching, I suggest you give up trying and go back to OSX.
Good luck and thanks to those who have made this available for us in such an easy to use package!
PS> There's a reason no one lists the sites where you can find the torrents... we don't want those sites getting shut down, so we don't name them or link to them. Googling will do wonders...
Also is a Intel Pentium D 2.8Ghz compatible with it?
Thanks,
Jeffery
Good Luck!
Man, I'm dying to try this, but my Acer is a Ferrari, so it is an AMD.
first where is the files for USB Flash “Patcher” and how big USB has to be SPACE?
Would this work on:
2.8 Ghz Pentium(R) 4
512 Ram
120 GB
32 bits
WHATSUP said that is may be a broken dvd burned but the installer checked the dvd before installing leopard so the dvd is ok.
The part with the lower speed to download or to burn is not ok because checksum is being done after download or burn and the size is compared and if it is ok...is ok...at any speed...bit with bit.
probably i must have done a mistake or forgot to make somthing before install leopard because someone said that i should have an MBR partition or somthing like this on my HDD but i can't find that in the information fields.i've formatted all the HDD and maked just 1 partition but it doesn't works. maybe is not ok with the drivers i've installed or with my P4 3.0GHz processor because it is not dualcore.
I am waiting for someone to help me to install leopard on my pc if they want that because i can't manage alone.
they've made leopard for PC...help us to install it...specially the developpers.
Thank you...waiting for help here.
I don't get any location to instal leopard.. What is wrong?
Im new to this, i've done all the research. I have a Toshiba Intel Centrino 1.7ghz single core, 1.5gb Ram Laptop/Tablet PC, running XP, fed up with how slow it is, so i thought i'd sell and buy a mac, but not necessarily an affordable option.
So i thought i'll get linux operating system based option, should speed up things, done my research, but having nver used it before and worried whether i'll be able to Office 2007, & Adobe CS2, realised that these two program i may not be able to use on Linux software, especially since im new to this tyep of operating system.
So? thought it be great to have Leopard, came to this site, and need to know a few things:
1. Is this download file iATKOS, the complete Leopard operating system, or do i have to get this seperately?
2. PC-EFI, what are the instructions for this as i have a Non Core Processor? What is it and how will affect installation, and how do i install considering my spec?
3. Do i have format the hard drive and remove XP completely, which i would prefer to do? Or does it actually install on the XP OS?
4. Do i need to partition the hard drive, before installing, which drive i do install, it on? How to partition the drive if already formatted? i.e. after XP removed? or this part of process whilst installing?
I'd be grateful for your help, this is you can say is my research.. googling all these questions brings me back to this site.. hence..
Fed up with Vista & XP... thanks to guy who posted these instructions..
Sam
PS:
Sorry about the english.. if there's anything you don't understand, warn me and i'll trie to explain it in a better way!
Cheers mates! =)
has anybody tried installing on virtualbox or vmware?
If so, could you tell me if there is a guide or special instructions?
Thanks!

Take your CD out and/or change the boot order in your BIOS so that the hard drive with OS X on it boots first.
1) Why do only some USB Connections work on my PC. My mouse is connected through USB, and works.. but my iTouch (Built By Apple, so it SHOULD work), doesnt even detect power going in to charge it.
Is their a fix?
2) What version of OS X does this install? Simple question for anyone that has installed this. I installed the JAS version (after failing this one), and its version 10.4.8. Is their a way to update without crashing?
Please support.. kick in. Ive asked number 2 like 5 times.
Did you managed how to make it work on your P4 processor?
I want to make it work like it worked in the video...at least like that.
Please contact me if you know more and help me install it. I've downloaded the KALYWAY ISO from torrents and i don't know if it will work or if not like iatkos v1.0i didn't do.
So i am waiting for your reply...or someone else who knows the problem of apple.boot.plist system file missing.
Thank you!
If anyone has any idea as to why it is doing this, help would be much appreciated.

hey also the guy of that video said this to me.
'Actually iAKTOS will work on a P4, I didn't have to do anything special....'
so hopefully this works.

I'd be -very- interested in hearing how your system is coming along and how everything works. Right now I'm shopping for a new PC, and if I could build one that would run OSX that would be fantastic. I'm interested in all the details you have to share, specifically the BIOS tweaks!
Thanks!
ahem.
yeah seed?
ledges.
I am having that keyboard problem that a few people are talking about, where when you hit a key and it types nothing. No beep, just nothing for me.
The interesting thing, is the keyboard did work with iATKOS before installation (when I was in darwin boot and such), but ever since the installation finished and restarted.. nothing on the iATKOS disk is taking imput.
Any ideas please?

They are a lot more straight forward and he even provides pictures. Good luck.
PS- Im writing from Leopard right now ;)
Thanks,

did you download the R3 version?
Just by the way - did you watch this?
They sell a box they claim to be fully compatible for 399 $,
even offer it with pre-installed OS-X for 150 $ more
(which may get them in trouble with Apple).
Take care.

ANYONE HAVING INTERNET CONNECTION ISSUES WITH INTELL NIC CARD? THIS IS MY ONLY ISSUE..
I tried to install last evening, but this morning I had the same (grey apple) screen. I dont know what to do, I cannot see what is happening and where it stops working. Solutions?
I see allot of people complaining about the downloads, but my speed was between 800Kb/s and 1,7 Mb/s. So for the people who are downloading slow, check your ports. There are seeders enough! No complain here...
(intel core 2 quad Q6600 @2.4GHz - 4 GiG RAM- 64 bit vista - 8800GT 512) (downloading with uTorrent)

Any solution found ?
Sometimes, I can boot, but the restart screen comes up ?
Please help.. :(
and there si on minova search only one download with zip extension 2.09 GB
first I am very surprised finding an application, that supports mac os x leopard on a PC...
But I also have some questions:
1) Which technical requirements (CPU, Graphics card, working memory,...) do I need to run this mac os x version?
2) Is this mac os x version the full one, or what is modified in according to the original one?
3) Is is possible to use windows vista AND that mac os x version at one computer? Or are you only able to use one operating system like vista OR mac os x
Best regards
Peter B.
PS: I will like it very much, if you send your answers not only to this forum but also to my e-mail address... Thanks a lot.
iATKOS_v1.0ir2.iso (2.44 gb). Is it the right version of leopard to install it in just one step or I must download the 2.09 gb version?

Worked like a charm!
First run, i had to reboot 3 times because it got stuck in the Apple register. After de 4th try, i got it.

I downloaded iATKOS v1.0ir2.iso.
I double clicked on the file so it opened in Nero and asked for burning to disk.
I placed a DVD+RW(and 2nd time a DVD+R).
I checked (finalize disk)
Verified written data.
Everything is fine.
but when i keep dvd in drive, and boot with DVD drive, it says "OS not found".
can any1 tell me what went wrong????
ps: i am a HUUUUUUUUUGE mac fan. this is temporary for me for im saving up to get a real computer a mac but it will be awhile. and i really want this to work for me, i have been without my beloved iPhone for about a week now and im almost walking into walls im just lost without it.

I my friend has the actual leopard and tiger operating system disks and i was wondering
1. if i could dual boot with the real cd
2. if my cpu is compatible with the system
3. if i can install final cut pro and run it without problems.
4. if it would be better(safer) to dual boot with tiger because more of the hacks for the drivers are out there
Thank you for your time
NOaH
Is this a problem or do I have to wait for a while?
Just thought I'd let you all know that there is now iATKOS v2.0i
It contains many improvements over iATKOS v1.0i
For more info see the official website: http://uphuck.ggrn.de/forum
The new torrent can be found at: www.demonoid.com
Best of luck with building your own hackintosh.

I successfully install the iATKOS v1.0 r3 into my DELL vestro SLIM destop and can log into it.
The critical steps which I made some mistakes before fully understand are list here:
1. Erase the NTFS format of hard disk into OS format. I use the journaled even though I don't understand what's that mean
2. Choose the right hard drive where you would like to install the OS
3. THE most importantly, customize what you need in the installation page, just as described in http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopi...
The step 11. If you has the core 2 process, please choose the SSE2 or SSE3 kernel instead of nForce one.
Ultimately you can log on in your os normally. But I still has a question:
All my drivers are not installed....I don't know how to install it....
I have 4 Gig Ram

Please Help!
When I booted with the Disk Mac install worked normally. However, when it asked me to choose where to install there were no drives present to install on.
Also, there were no drives present in the Disk Utility!??
I have an Acer Aspire 9810 with Dual HDD.
Any Ideas?
(I want to test it on my old PC before I install it on my new laptop)
also, can you tripleboot windows, mac and linux? (dualbooting with windows is possible, but can I edit grub/lilo to boot mac too?)
Every time I want to install the iATKOS V2.0 DVD it asks me to restart my PC. I can't go further. It's a loop. Any possible causes or workaround.
I have one disk with 2 partitions. Windows 2000 and Suse 10.
:-S
What's the deal? Is it even being worked on at all?
I think i speak on behalf of all of us poor nerds out there.
and Kevin no it wont work on XP, LOL,

You're getting farther than I, lol. I can't get the installation to start, and the error message doesn't get me my System model name.
Is it really that important to burn on a DVD-R, because I've burned the ISO on a DVD+R.
The installation does start, the bootloader loads, but after seeing te firt time the apple logo, it stops an doesn't want to continue...
Anyone else problems whith it??
1. Download iATKOS_2.0i.iso and burn to dvd. I got mine on usenet.
2. Boot to dvd, install will autmatically start
3. For all of you that have no drives listed, click on the utilities menu item and go format (erase) the drive you want to use. When you close the utility, your drive should be visible.
I still can't get my network going but everything is seems fine.
EMail me pls furycr@gmail.com

Thank you very much.. I hope it works this time x-P
i downloaded and burned the iso of 2.0..
when i startup my computer, it starts the bootloader,
when i hit "a button" i see a apple.
nothing more.. it just keeps showing the apple and a little circle.
plz help!
greetz
when i wait til 0 seconds, i can type -V .
when i do that, i see some text.
it stays that way too.. -x doesn't change anything with the apple.
heelp!

does someone already know what is wrong with the install hanging at the apple?
if i run the diagnostic install, it gives me this at the end:

I want to remove my hard disk from my pc, and put an other one in it and install OS X on it.
But if I then remove the hard disk with OS X and put my original hard disk in it with windows, will it still work perfectly?
When I use an OS I'll remove the hard disk with the other OS.
I want to use this method because I only use 1 pc.
So is this method safe?
Hey will someone help me out please.
I'm Trying to install on Compaq V6210 laptop.
Someone knows how to do?
Thank's.
Is there any solution to this without having to use a USB keyboard?
As for the RAM situation, Leopard recommends at least 512MB of ram minimum. I didn't even think that it would install with 128MB.
The darwin screen comes up, says push f8 for options of any key to continue. When i do either one it starts the boot screen with the apple logo and then a minute or so, a white box in the middle shows up with a no"something"similar to what would be a no smoking sign just in black and white.
Any thoughts?

So I'm pretty certian this will work, just downloading right now although it's pretty slow, what program is reccomended to burn the image and also home will I dual boot from start up?
Thank you
1: Download compressed file
2: Decompress file
3: Burn file to blank dvd
4: (This is where it may get complicated) If you are installing to the entire hard drive erasing the disk completely there should be no issues. If there are issues, your computer likely isn't compatible. Give up and try on a different hardware set. If you have re-sized your existing hard drive and are trying to install to the free un-partitioned space then make sure you know something about your master boot record, marking a partition as the active boot partition and editing the required boot menu's. If not, give up. All you will end up doing is wasting time.
5: Assuming your hard drive is all set, you know what your doing and your hardware is fully compatible the only thing left to do is boot from the dvd and follow the on screen instructions. Reboot. Cross your fingers that it works. If not, format and try the older x86 versions of Tiger.

The installer could not validate the contents of the '10.5.1.Intel' package.

"The boot: prompt waits for you to type advanced startup options.
If you don't type anything, the computer continues starting up normally. It
uses the kernel and configuration files on the startup device, which it also
uses as the root device. Advanced startup options use the following syntax:
[device] [arguments]
Example arguments include
device: rd= (e.g. rd=disk0s2)
rd=* (e.g. rd=*/PCI0@0/CHN0@0/@0:1)
kernel: kernel name (e.g. "mach_kernel" - must be in "/" )
flags: -v (verbose is gay) -s (single user mode),
-x (safe mode) -F (ignore boot configuration file)
"Graphics Mode"="WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH" (e.g. "1024x768x32")
For VESA 3.0 graphics, you may append a refresh rate
after an "@" character (e.g. "1280x1024x32@75")
kernel flags (e.g. debug=0x144)

and the second... if i can.intall. have any problems with the drivers ???
Thanks
It seams as if a loser just logged and started thinking he was cool!
I've been trying to do this for a couple days now...
I've installed, uninstalled, re-installed etc... at least 15 times.
After doing some searching around, I came across a bit of information I found interesting. See.. I too followed MULTIPLE guides like the one above. I could install iATKOS, but it would only boot to a blinking cursor. I never found a way around that other than using the dvd to boot from. Even with the dual boot with XP/Vista, it never worked.
In comes Kalyway's Format CD. I'm not sure if I should list the full name on here, but if you do a search, I'm sure you'll find the name and torrent in NO time. I will warn you though. *EXPECT TO WAIT UP TO 2 DAYS FOR THIS THING TO DOWNLOAD!!!*
Burn it to disc and run the installation just like you were installing iATKOS. This CD makes your HD bootable. For some reason, the built in Darwin bootloader doesn't seem to work for all systems. I'm running a cheap Compaq Presario C727US, but Leopard runs flawlessly on it.
Note: If you can't install the CD directly to the drive for some reason, buy an external hd case and install from another computer to the hd via usb or firewire. I've tried this method on different computers.
So far: Dells and Compaqs seem to work fine with these 2 installs. If anyone has any questions, email me directly: kjennings@disrepro.com
PLEASE do NOT email me asking how to mount images, or any other novice questions like this. If you have to ask thing like this, then you are truely NOT worthy of what Mac OS X Leopard has to offer.
I leave now with this... If you like Leopard, then BUY A COPY and have it patched!!!
Oh, and you all need to be nice to one another! :) Let's help! That means you Gabriel... you too Anthony! lol.
If you use the iATKOS dvd, simply click on CUSTOMIZE when you see it. Under DRIVERS, find INTEL under VIDEO. This will solve your problem. Though, I've also been told that you really don't need to install anything custom if you follow my steps above. iATKOS supports many popular brands...
it reboots.
if i type "-v"
it shows a few lines, then re boots.
my specs are:
Windows XP SP2
AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor 4600+, MMX, 3dNow (2CPUs)
Memory: 1534 MB
Graphics: Radeon X1600

I don't believe AMD processors are supported highly by the iATKOS patch. I think your best luck would be to follow the procedure I mentioned above, but switch iATKOS with the Kalyway OS dvd. I'm sure you can find this, and I believe it supports AMD processors more. As of now, iATKOS is more for Intel-based processors.
Are you sure that there is no way to instal mac os over AMD processors?
If don't... When do you expect they will run on AMD?

I've succesfully installed it on an amd, you just need an amd-patched edition, like this one
http://www.mininova.org/tor/1103078
however, i needed an update to install protools and when i tried to update the necessary, leopard wouldn't boot any more :( boohoo :(:(:( does an official version of leopard work on a "pc"?

@ DAMASTA - Thanks for that link! I too have an AMD comp but was never able to find an iATKOS edition. Kalyway's works fine for me though... but I prefer iATKOS.
@ C-MAN - Honeslty I don't think it's going to matter. Though, I haven't tried that out nor heard a question like that. Let us know what happens! I'm sure it won't be anything you can't correct.
Take care guys. Happy hacking!
Just wanted to let you know that I have the Leopard OSX up and running. The ONLY problem I had was with the Foxxconn Motherboard I bought.. it's a G31AX-K. It WOULD NOT recognize the onboard LAN at all. I had to install an old PCI 3COM card, but it's UP AND GOING!!!! SAFARI BABY! Good job guys.

How to let Leopard detect SATA on installation? Please help.
I've just succesfully installed Leopard on my Acer Aspire 7720G notebook (Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd.iso).
I've 2 hds, and I've installed OSX on the first partition of the 2nd hd (bootable). Vista is installed on the first hd, and I've used 'EasyBCD 1.7.2' to create a multiboot system.
My video adapter (Ati Radeon HD2600) works at 1024*768 (not native 1440*900).
Works fine, BUT Osx doesn't recognise both the network card (broadcom netlink gigabit) and wifi integrated card (intel 4965 agn).
I've tried with an external usb wifi adapter (Belkin G+ Mimo with osx 10.4 driver) without any result.
Any suggestion?
can I do multi-boot (several OS's on hard drive)
i have windows xp and want ubuntu and mac. can i have this triple boot option or can i just have dual boot?
anyone? triple-boot?
1) Vista on the 1st partition on 1st HD
2) Mac Osx on 1st partition on 2nd HD
3) Ubuntu on 3rd partition of 2nd HD
4) Fedora on 4th partition of 2nd HD
Swap partition for both Ubuntu and Fedora on partition #5 of 1st HD.
Yoy must install GRUB (for Ubuntu etc) NOT in MBR, but in the same partition for every Linux installation.
With EasyBCD is very simple.
Im having a problem instaling leoperd on my ibm thinkpad t42p when i pit in the cd it starts loading and gives me options like:

/bl=16
loadahead buffer is in conventional memory , size is in kb
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and so no
when i try to type one the options it tells me that it is a unrecognized command or file name
any sugestiong on what to type in to the computer?
Thank you very much,

I have tried to install on 5-different Intel "Core" platforms and all it does is reboot the system repeatedly.
Nice try! Keep trying!
I used V2.0i, one thing I came across that varied from instructions
is that you need to select Custom after the agreement page and check the box that says bootloader. The first time I ran the install it didn't load because I followed the instructions for v1.0i given on this page. Good luck to everyone let me know if you know how to install drivers.
Your system isn't going to boot into Leopard without the dvd in place. I sent you an email explaining that you need to download Kalyway's Format and Make Bootable HD for Leopard. You need this download. Once you install it, THEN install leopard and your system will work fine. If you need this file, just email me back and I can post it to an ftp site for you.
kjennings@disrepro.com
thank you in advance for any pertinent responses
I have try bad bios patch alredy still hangs there.
Please help ME!
please email you answer
Thanks
1st of all, there are many Leopard releases now, Uphuck & Eskurza's, Kalyway's. Also there are 10.5.0 DVDs, 10.5.1 DVDs, 10.5.2 DVDs, and more... Try to get the right one.
Secondly, in the article there is an "Select the Appropriate Packages" in Step 1. Remember, it's not like you just pop the DVD in, press Next, next & install, then grab a cup of tea. You have to select Customize before installing (you'll see it in the process), and you might wanna research a little bit before doing this.
For example: an Intel processor older then the Core family must not use PC-EFI, which mean you must select Customize and remove the PC-EFI stuff. A Pentium 4 processor with no support for SSE3 instructions (read more about SSE3 in Wikipedia) must use a kernel that was re-written for SSE2 processors. An AMD processor has to have special patches applied. A network card needs special drivers (in Mac we call drivers "Kernel Extensions"). A graphic card needs special kernel extensions as well (Natit/Titan for GeForce & Radeon, NVInject for GeForce...). You have to double check everything before clicking "Install".
Thirdly, when Google-ing, you must know that there are things in Windows that exists in Macs, just not named the same (and work in different ways). Drivers are "Kernel Extensions" as mentioned above, the kernel might not sound familiar to you, but Windows also have a kernel (trust me), and that kernel is the core of everything, it boots up your computer and run programs. Any beautiful interfaces you see is controlled by the kernel. Do more & more research, and you'll figure out why your Hackintosh is not working.
Good luck!
I'm not sure if anyone read the post that i made on the 4th. I do have copies of Kalyway's "Format and Make Bootable HD for Leopard" as well as BrazilMac's 9a581 pre/post patches. I've been reading a lot of the posts on here. It seems like a lot of you are making this install a lot harder than it is. Though I'm not professing to know ALL of the answers to your issues, I do offer a simple alternative to this guide.
If I've gained your attention by now, good. Read on:
You need to install that Kalyway Format cd. You can find the file online with torrents, or email me. I have it placed on an ftp site where people can download from. The file is about 200mb compressed from 560 I believe. Burn the image once you have it and run this install FIRST. Let me say that again... RUN THIS INSTALL BEFORE YOU TRY TO INSTALL MAC OS X LEOPARD.
This application does exactly what it says. It takes your hd and formats it using correct parameters for booting into a hackintosh leopard hd. Don't be alarmed if you see that the file you're installing is 0kb. Just click on it and install. DONT ASK QUESTIONS, JUST DO IT!
Once you've completed this install, you're ready to install leopard.
Now, I will say this. If you really want os x on your computer, first download a copy from online. We all know where to get it. Once you install with the appropriate customizations, you will be able to boot into leopard. I've tried this method on several types of pcs. AMD computers... ehh..... you will have to do a little more to get yours to work right... sorry.
Once you have installed and are able to load into mac, go to the store and buy a legitimate copy of osx. This is where brazilmac will come into place.
Create an image file of the mac disc you just bought and use the brazilmac patch on it. Make sure to run both patches.
From here, you will have to reinstall the Kalyway format cd, and then install your new copy of osx, which will have more applications and will be easier to update. OR... you could just stick with iatkos uphuck or kalyway. I've tried both ways on Dell, Compaq/HP, eMachine and Gateway with no issue. The only computer that provided an interesting challange when patching was the amd computer.
Hope this helps.
1. Screen savers will not come on.
2. After 15-20 minutes or so of not moving he mouse, it disappears and will not reappear until I reboot the computer. This is definately an issue for me as I like to leave things running while I cook.
3. I can not boot up the computer without having the iAtkos disc in my disc drive. If I try, I get the black screen wih a white underscore ( _ ) blinking cursor. No amount of key pressing gets this to dissappear, thus I have to put disc back in and reboot again.
4. When I try to reinstall windows...I can use every button on my keyboard to go through the install except F8 to accept the EULA (pretty sure this is from OSX install, but not positive)
I just read Keiths post, should I wipe my hard drive and start over with the Kalyway Format cd first? (I really dont want to, but if I have to I will)
You're pretty much going to have to. The install CD needs to be run on a freshly wiped hd.
The proper install steps are:
1. Format the hd using the disc and make sure the drive is set properly.
2. Restart your computer with the cd in.
3. Go through the setup again and this time, install the software on the cd.
4. Restart your computer with patched osx dvd in.
5. Run install and make sure to check all applicable options under customize.
That's basically it.
If you find that the install is "quitting" or restarting before it actually finishes and you see that "INSTALL SUCCESSFUL" screen... then you might want to try installing it on the hd via a usb enclosure on another computer.
For example, I had no problem installing directly to my compaq computer (dual-core), but when installing on Dell p4 or HP, I had to install using the compaq computer and the usb enclosure.
Just Google the phrase "PC-EFI" and you'll find many infos.
You also need to read about EFI in Wikipedia. Basically EFI is a newer version of the outdated BIOS ("Basic", duh :D). Read more about it before doing anything ;)
You might also want to do some research about Intel's modern chips, chipsets, graphics card (this one is very important, OS X demands a lot from graphics cards)... The OSX86 Project's Wiki is a good place to start (http://wiki.osx86project.org/). Read about the Hardware Compatibility Lists.
I did start out as a total noob, but do many researches and you'll be a pro in no time!
(Not as pro as the guys actually developing the projects, but at least you'll know a little :D)

Thanks! from Australia
I don't understand a few things from your post. Once I install iatkos, your recommendation is to create an image of a legit copy of leopard and then to patch the image. Once the image is patched, you recommend I burn a new DVD with the patched image, reformat with Kalyway and then install the patched image. Is the purpose of the first install just to make sure that my pc hardware can boot leopard? The reason I ask is because I have two identical IBM dual-core 3 ghz pc's. It would save me some time if I don't have to go through every step twice.
Thanks.
_HMG
The reason that you must install with iatkos before creating the patched dvd is because you can only patch the dvd on leopard. To answer the question I think you're trying to ask, no you don't need to install iatkos on both pcs, only on the first one, make the patched dvd, then use that dvd for both pcs.
C-Man basically got what I was saying. The iAtkos install... sure... you can use that to make sure that it works. But I was referring to what you SHOULD do after you get it to work. That being, you need to obtain a legal copy and patch it yourself. The Kalyway Format CD has legal issues... as does this whole operation. However, if you only use the Kalyway and BrazilMac and your own copy of OSX, I think you'll be in far less trouble. BrazilMac, I believe only violates the Millennium Copyright Act. Not too sure on that though.
With iatkos installed, you should make an image of the files on the disc and use the patch so you can install your own true copy of osx on your pc. The only other way to make this truely legal without the use of iAtkos at all would be to download MacDrive 7 on a Windows computer so you can read the files on the mac osx dvd. That way, you can make the image using PowerISO/UltraISO or whatever. If you want to go that route, there are a number of sites on the web that explain how to go about that.
ATTENTION:
I recently came across some information about EFI-X. This may be something worth checking out. I read on the webpage, that this is basically a USB device that you connect to your computer and boot from it. It contains a bootloader which allows you to select your dvd drive and run osx directly from the retail cd. I'm not sure exactly how it works out. It DOES cost money. I'm in the works now with the station in Peru to try and get one sent to me for testing. As of now, the US is still in negotiations for this product to be sold here. There are a select number of countries that have this product.
Check it out!
After some trial and error, I got the OS installed and booted. No ethernet (no surprise) but am reinstalling with ethernet driver for Broadcom 44xx. My card is the integrated Broadcom 57xx. I'll let you know if I can get the card to work with these drivers.
Is the Broadcom GigE 57xx nic supported? I didn't see the name on the comp list, but I thought maybe there was another one out there similar enough to work. Might need to just buy one of the supported NIC's,
Here's my system build, for future reference:
-Levovo A55
-3 Ghz core, 1 gig RAM
-Intel 3100 video
-SATA 250 gig drive
-Broadcom ethernet chipset
_HMG
Which version of iAtkos should be downloading?
thanks
SKb
That's great that you got the installation to work right. It took some time for me to do it.
I believe that the nic is supported. I have it in my Compaq Presario and my Dell Inspiron. Though what I am finding out as I go along... it seems like osx prefers laptops over desktops. Maybe this is the reason so many desktop users are having issues with the installation and everything. But hell... I'd go ahead and just check every ethernet customization thing there is just to be sure.
Let us know what happens!
***As we all learn and explore how to accomplish this task, we should help one another. Notice, even though I have figured everything out for me, I'm still helping those in need. I suggest that we ALL do the same!***
Hey is there any way that you know of to get that EFI-X in the US?
Hey is there any way that you know of to get that EFI-X in the US?!?!?!
I found a link to drivers for the Broadcom 57xx ethernet NIC chipset on x86 project website. Next step is to mount my Leopard install DVD and patch it with the brazilmac patch. Still learning syntax, so I could use some help with the proper way to run the two brazilmac patches. When you get a moment, can you send me the steps for patching the dvd? (ie required image format, where the image needs to be for the patch to find it to do it's thing, command syntax for executing the shell scripts, etc.)
Thanks in advance. Btw- in order to get osx to boot on my Lenovo, I had to install the standard kernel with only the iatkos and standard kernel selected. I got tired of running through the install, so I didn't try the speedstep support, but I found I had to select to remove both power cpu options and to install with no ethernet drivers. Haven't installed the 57xx drivers yet, although I have them in hand. The instructions for installing them are cumbersome, but I'm hopeful...
EFI-X isn't sold here in the US yet. We're still in negotiations for retail here. If you go to the website (just google it) and take a look at the countries that supply it, you'll see that there aren't that many. I'm in contact with the store in Peru to try and see if they can send me one. I'll keep you posted though. I'm SUPER excited about this. I'm trying to think... I came across this from a website that had video of it in action. It looks awesome and easy to use. Can't think of the site yet. When I do, I'll let you know so you can see for yourself.
@HAYWOOD
Eh... I'm not too sure I can remember how to patch the install exactly. It's been a couple weeks since I've done it. I had to basically cut and paste from different guides to come up with a final solution. I will say this: You will be working in Terminal a LOT for this. Something about SUDO -S and DITTOING... ugh... I shudder thinking about it.
Yes. For mac osx to run on the disc, you will need to format it to the correct partition type.
Ya I saw video of someone using it when I was wondering around the google results for it, and ya the bootloader looks uber simple and really nice. Also if you do get one sent to you let me know I'd like to try to do the same.

I hope i helped you, sorry for my bad english!
I would like to use this only for making music. So i just want to use Logic pro 8 with it and i dont need others features like Internet.
So do i really need to buy a legal OSX or can i use the copy without issue ? And second things, i see some people says that there is a problem with sound..To use it with Logic Pro 8 i absolutely need sound ! So does it work with a pro soundcard ?
Thanks for reply :)
I was able to get my Broadcom 57xx Ethernet card to run with the drivers on the x86 project page, but success on boot is unpredictable. I have not been able to get my Lenovo to reliably boot with iATKOS v1. Sometimes it boots successfully, sometimes it won't and not always with the same error. V1 has been out for a while. I'd like to snag the latest version of iATKOS and try that, and I think version 2 is it. Can you tell me what the latest version is of iATKOS (iso image name)? Thanks!
iAtkos is funny. When I was dealing with it, you had to choose certain things to get it to load properly. I just went the Kalyway Format CD way to make things simple. Have you tried this disc yet? If not, then I highly recommend it.
I've been using my copy of osx for a little while now, so I'm not sure what the latest of anything is at the moment, but if you're looking for a more solid bootable system, check out Kalyways version. You should be able to at least download 10.5.2 and work with that. I do believe I have that image somewhere if you'd like for me to post it on FTP. This version boots and doesn't have too many problems other than the fact that it's a TAD bit slower than iatkos (You notice it, but it's not really a problem in daily usage).
Also, check out EFI-X. That seems to be promising....
Any news about the release of EFI-X here in the States?
I used Kalway's Format CD to prep the disk, which worked with no problem. I think I'll try Kalway's x86 build next in place of iATKOS. I snagged a copy of Kalway's x86 build a while ago, but I'd like to snag a stable rev. Which rev do you recommend?
I should have read your entire reply. I think 10.5.2 is the version I have, so I'll try that. Thanks- I'll let you know how it goes...
Nope.. Sorry. Though the Peru store just got a shipment and I'm about to order mine!!!!! I'll let you know how it pans out when I get it. I'll prolly post a video on youtube or something that shows how it works out.
Contact info or website for the Peru Store?

it would work?
Does this hack work for those of us already using a Mac Os X 10.4 Tiger?? Because I want to upgrade to Leopard, but all this talk of PCs has gotten me confused.
So would it work on a Mac?
Thanks!
forum.insanelymac.com might be a good start.
got it working on both, PC single boot leopard and Dual boot with vista on Acer aspire 5672...
trying dual boot withXP now!
Thank you OSX86
Thank you Uphuk!!!
Happy for answer;)
Very great guide!:D
Thanks, I'm really new at this and am trying to produce a machine for my son.
"I thought id get some patch maybe for a LEGAL copy of osx instead i get the whole os for free….hey im not downloading that….is there any admins here that can ban this dude? DO NOT DOWNLOAD PEOPLE, THIS IS AN ILLEGAL COPY. If you want it so much then buy the damn os and patch it yourself"
Get off it. Apple gets loads of my money, but there is no reason to carry guilt about using any pirated apps that come from Apple or Microsoft, both are empires built on theft. To harp about that being an illegal copy is like yelling at someone for beating the shit out of the guy who raped your wife.
i don't want to install in my original hard drive, but want to install in my external hard drive.... which has enough space but am not able to make the dvd run as bootale...
Thank you
So if I just upgrade to a Prescott P4, or one that supports SSE3 instructions, then it shouldn't make a difference.
but again i have the blinking cursur problem...
no matter what i try it wont boot.
i am using a WD my passport essential as an external drive and everytime i install it says success but than it wont boot... and if i try the command mentioned on top of the page it just tell me i have to shut down my computer...
has any1 solved the blinking cursur prob yet?
One thing that I've always wanted to know is, can the system receive updates from apple as if it was a original copy installed on Mac?
Let me know please.

A beginner question:
After downloading the ISO file, do I burn it to DVD as data or should i exract it somehow??
I used Nero but it only burned a few files... I mean, the ISO file is about 2GB but on the DVD I only have 183kb burned...
I get the Darwin Boot screen but after a minute or so there's a "no entry" sign and no respond...
Anyone???
Thanks,

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF MICROSOFT VIRTUAL PC--IT'S FREE!? And all those silly questions of yours won't matter. If it doesn't work for you, so what, no damage to your computer. if you load it up, works for a week and then crashes and won't boot--oh, well who cares.
That's the beauty of virtualization. Go google: Vmware Workstation (commercial) or just go download Microsoft Virtual PC.
And welcome to the computer age in 2008. Dual Booting is dead.
I have the same like 7 files thats called bott.p or something like that =S
Please help me and Theret!!
Thank You
well, thanks for the reply...
You sound very sharp and smart and very 2008 but you didn't even answer my question and it's not in your "stupid questions" list...
If you already made an effort to use your amazing brain and answer at least answe and don't patronise.

Thank you very much for sharing knowledge.

Thanks. P.S. to download the file you need to download utorrent
No, it won't work. This is a hacked version, required to load it on a non-Mac hardware machine.
I can seed at 15meg cable speed for a few weeks if someone still needs the file. Let me know.

No, won't work. Need a hacked version like this one to install on non-Mac hardware.

Dual booting is dead?
I would wish it was true. Please tell me how to virtualize MACOSX on Linux (e.g. Ubuntu). Afaik it doesn't work neither under Vbox nor under VMware.
I look forward to the solution.
I followed the instructions and tried to install it on my virtual machine. However, just before the installation should start, I get an error message:
"An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered. The virtual machine will reset now." I don't get this message if I boot the physical machine. I have Intel P4 3.06 GHz. If anyone has an idea of what's going wrong, I'd appreciate your advice.
Thanks in advance
p.s. Sorry for the unprofessional vocabulary

As told in this article i downloaded iATKOS v1.0i
I am trying it to install on Vmware which has Windows 2000 already installed.
But when i boot from Dvd Image of iATKOS v1.0i it shows the following error.
"SAM MULTIMEDIA READ OR WRITE FAILED"
I have downloaded the dvd and am stranded can anybody bail me out of this??
Yes I've seen the video and I agree it is VERY helpful, but unfortunately my system was not really compatible with leopard. I have ordered new mobo and am as of right now ordering a video card and new memory to build the "perfect OS X / XP Pro computer."
but after installation which didn't last 1 hour but some minutes ..
when i reboot my pc from HDD i get the ..... Missing Operating system\
have anyone any ideas hyow to solve it???
thnx a lot..
Intel P4, 1,8 GHz, 512 MB ram?
Please mail me: kotya(at)citromail.hu
First i shrink volume c:\, one partition for Leopard in fat, next command line (create partition primary) for ubuntu.
Patches for leo v4i
iatkos main system-stock files-apple smbios 27 imac-remove thermal.kext-sata-gmax3100.
Then reboot with dvd and type -s, darwin, target disk,partition number, efi (for MBR)
Active partition for leo with fdisk.
For ubuntu you need do a instalation manualy and install ubuntu on root.
Thank for you reed.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial, its good for people who can't afford a mac and who would like to experience it.
To do this, you need easybcd and don't need type any commands to add entry to OS.
First install vista, second XP(you need install easybcd to repair vista bootloader), third iATkos, fourth ubuntu. For last you need instal easybcd in Vista and add entry for the three OS.
thanks in advnace
thanks..
i bought a mac and then it broke and i can't afford a new one so im gonna try this but i have the freakin crappiest hardware, so i dont even have dvd-r drive. ill use my friends...
i got intel celeron 2.00ghz, gig of ram, two hard drives
is the download speed back up
thnx
Please help some One.
I have successfully installed iATKOS v2.0i on my dell inspiron 1525 n series :) but i have no sound, no ethernet driver, no wifi(says no airport card installed), no bluetooth :(
Can Someone please provide Dell Inspiron 1525 n series drivers, It will be so noble to you guys!
Thanks Guys! in Advance once again
First you have iatkos preinstalled on the PC, second you have do an image of DVD with disk utility. Then you use disk utility to create a partition and format in Mac OS X extended (journaled) with the name Mac OS X installer on your pen drive.Finally you have to put the pen in the pc and reboot by dvd and type -s,darwin,disk number, partition number,efi(for MBR).
activate pen drive with fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX, flag X, update, write, quit,reboot.
I got an original copy of OSX Leopard 10.5.1 i put it in my normal pc and try to boot from it but it just wont boot, i have tried it on 2 pc's both of which have core 2 duo Intel's in them.
I then thought i could burn an iso from the dvd with 'magiciso' but when i try it says an iso does not exist and that the dvd is not bootable.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

However the Mac will not come up! There is no countdown,nothing. After the BIOS splash screen is the Windows XP loading screen.
Any help? Thanks
1 a patched mac osx leopard 10.5 dvd image burned on a disk

or do i need some additional software to make the pc read the mac osx CD??????????????????
can someone explain please thanks for helping .
> MAC - mine works PERFECTLY.
THANKS!!!
I checked the BIOS, and it is set to boot from the CD/DVD ROM before the hard disk.
I downloaded the iAtkos v1.0 r3 torrent (2.09GB) and it took me around three weeks, and uTorrent says that 18.4MB has been wasted (0 hashfails).
Is my torrent download corrupted, or something?
FYI, I have WinXP Pro on a Pentium D 3.6GHz with 1GB DDR2 RAM, and two hard disks (second HD has 20GB and is unallocated).
any help is greatly appreciated.
but there is a problem i dont have sound and i dont think the graphic is working properly either, but i am wondering if its because i did not patch it i just install if right through never used the terminal commands could that cause it ?
and is it possible to get drivers for sound and graphics
i have a
AMD690GM-M2 ELITEGROUP MOTHER MOARD
WITH A GEFOREC PCI-EX 6600 CARD
WITH 2G DDR2 MEMORY
WITH AMD ATHLON 64 PROCESSOR
CAN YOU HELP ME
http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Mai...
most useful files are there somewhere or linked. look up the precise details of the sound card- before you install anything...
for the graphics, go here: http://nvinject.free.fr/downloads.php
install the one corresponding to the frequency of your cards, ie 256, 512, etc... i think down at the bottom, the second last one, might be a good place to start - that's what i'd do :)
i can tell you with near certainty that you can find the drivers... the graphics is 100%, the sound you'll have to look harder maybe... look up Taruga (google)...
Thank you.

i would appreciate if anyone can help me... also i can help anyone that may need it... i'm not a mac pro, but i'm an experimented pc user...
btw... plz excuse my english, it's just that i'm not from US... xP!
just wanted to share with you guys a few things:
-download Kalyway 10.5.2! kalyway is a newer version.
-don't use nero! download BurnCDCC, it's a free and portable software
-don't use burnatonce! it will not work in many cases
-burn at 4x or slower!
hope this helps all those out there.
but I have a personal problem myself: i have a 20Gb secondary hard drive, and i have it as "unformatted". in the Disk Utility, the said hard disk shows up as "Failing"!
Details show that "S.M.A.R.T reports this hard disk drive is failing".
I am really confused as I don't want to partition my primary hard drive.
any help is appreciated.
Quick query.. I'd like to dual boot but the dual boot hack looks pretty technical.. could i not create a partition and install kalyway 10.5.2 to that?
maybe it would need formatting..
obviously someone has thought of this but im just wondering why not!?
thanks
Using Intel 945GC chipset with Intel C2Duo processor

It works perfectly until I try and upgrade the OS then I can't get it to boot up again…
Any help is appreciated.
Once you see the "Agreement" window ( do not click "Agree" yet ) go to the top of the screen and use the disk utiliy.

I have only had luck with Mac - Extended + options
Good luck.
what is the problem? pls help.
can PM me in my timmygoo@gmail.com also thx.
I am new to these types of operations and would greatly appreciate any help on the subject.
Thanks.
Question - im installing right now and the screen is all pixlely and black and white is that just part of the install? could someone help me?
Do a search for "iAtkos V4a amd only"
That should get you on the right track.
TIM --
If you have a mac just buy the Leopard OS...
I believe this software is for PC users to try the mac platform before buying one...
WHAT YOU NEED:
-Internet connection
-Mac-to-be computer, with Windows/Linux/whatever OS installed
-another Windows XP computer
-FAT32 thumbdrive
1) Don't download iAtkos, it has less seeders. Search for Kalyway 10.5.2 Intel/AMD SSE2/SSE3 on Mininova.
2) Download it, and burn the ISO to a DVD using BurnCDCC (it's free, Google it).
3) Burn at 2x or 4x speed! This is VERY important.
4) Now to install: I've found that things are easier if you install Leo on a secondary hard drive. Go out and buy an 80gig SATA or PATA hard drive (I had problems with IDE hard drives).
5) Do not format the hard drive in Windows yet! Pop in the Hackintosh disc and boot from it via the BIOS.
6) When the Darwin prompt appears, and the countdown begins, hit F8 and type in -v, then press Enter.
7) Select "English", then proceed.
8) At the "Mac OS X Leopard Installation" screen, do not click "Continue" just yet! At the top of the screen, there should be "Utilities". Click on that, then Disk Utility.
9) Right-click on the new hard disk and format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). For the name, type in anything that's one-worded, or else future patching will not work. I typed in "Leopard".
10) Formatting should take a few seconds. Once done, quit Disk Utility and click on Continue to begin installation.
11) Select the volume named Leopard (or whatever name you typed in while formatting). Proceed.
12) The installer will check the disc for consistency. Although this is not necessary, I recommend you wait for the check to finish. Or else, click on Skip.
13) Let the installation begin. Takes about 20minutes on my Pentium D computer.
14) Once done, restart the computer. Quickly enter the BIOS page.
15) Set the boot configuration so that the Leopard hard disk boots BEFORE the CD drive.
16) Save and exit. The Darwin prompt should appear now. Press F8 and type in -s (for single-user mode).
17) Some lines should scroll past the screen. After that, type in "/sbin/mount -uw /" (without the quotation marks) and press enter.
18) Then, type in "/movevideodrivers" and hit enter. This should fix any blank/blue screen errors.
19) Now type "exit" and let Leopard start. You should see a gray screen with the Apple logo. Wait for awhile.
20) A few prompts should appear. Follow the instructions.
21) After all that, you should be on the Leopard desktop. Wait, dont jump with joy just yet! You'll need to patch Leopard to start without the DVD. Go here for the patch (download it on a Windows machine):
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopi...
22) Unzip it. Rename the FAT32 thumbdrive as "USB". Copy all the contents of the patch archive to the thumbdrive root folder.
23) Plug it into the Mac machine, and open Terminal (in the Utilities folder).
24) Type in (without the quotation marks) "cd /Volumes/USB"
25) Then, type in "./patch.sh Leopard" (replace "Leopard" with the name of your Mac volume)
26) Follow the instructions. Do not install the original Mac core kernals or whatsoever.
27) Now, remove the USB thumbdrive and the Leopard DVD, and restart the computer.
28) Enter the BIOS settings and have the CD drive boot first. Save and exit.
28) You should be looking at the Darwin boot prompt again. Let the countdown finish and you SHOULD be in Leopard.
WARNINGS:
-Do not install any bootloaders. To boot into either Windows/Mac, just switch the boot order of the two hard disks.
-Do not update to 10.5.5 (many failed Hackintoshs are due to this).
NOTES:
-Sound and networking might not work.
Happy experimenting!
Find the How-To thread that bests fit your problem. I had problems with my network and sound, and now both are fixed and fine.
i borrow the mac from my friend office. not mine. so i trying download the other version X86 leopard now.
hope can use it. anyway yaohui is sharing the new way for us.
i tried to install mac os x on virtual pc 2007 (win vista doesn't work with vmware ), and i get an error:
an internal virtual machine error has occured (192), the virtual mcchine will reset now.
what can i do to install mac os x virtually?
thanks
This is with Kalyway 10.5.2 an ideas?
@papablopa: don't alter the keyboard settings unless you're a non-US keyboard user. also, what software did you use to burn Kalyway?
but im using onboard intel vga 64MB display (Intel GEV915 main board)
the display res only set to 1024 x 768. and the icon look big and blur with my 19" LCD., how can i make it batter & higher res.? any driver for intel chipset to download? thx!
@tim: usually 1024x768 is ok with 19". try adjusting your monitor and in mac, go to system preferences and change the size of icons to small.
or else, try looking here:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=9cefd8...
hope this helps. and again, people please go to forum.insanelymac.com and ask there! i swear to god you will get 100x more productive response there. i can't be replying to every question now, can i?
I have a question. Can I burn/unzip the ISO image to a USB Flash drive because my netbook doesn't have DVD drive and I don't want to buy a DVD drive just for this.
Thanks,
-Caten
ALSO: If you want to update your Hackintosh (10.5.1 or 2) to a newer version (10.5.4) you'll have to patch the update file.
Go to the Apple website and search for Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 Combo Update and download it (500MB+). More details at the InsanelyMac forums.
Game over for me, failed on the first step!
Kalyway release got further, but left with a blue blank screen. Read howt- followed steps to load drivers, again no luck
Version 5is out, im gonna try it one last time, if not im going to linux (ubuntu, madriva2009 or mint)
In short, no.
Assuming you want to install OSX on your laptop, you need to borrow an external DVD drive for the install - or possibly network it to a computer that has one (haven't tried this).
thanks.
I just burned the image and it's listed in properties as this:
Size: 183KB (188,386 bytes)
Size on disk 192KB (196,608bytes)
There are a couple of boot files n' stuff, but how does a collection of files this small install Leopard - Thanks - Mark
@chris: i'm not sure. check the insanelymac.com website for more details.
@chang: no, because the ISO is over 2GB so it wont fit on a CD.
is it possible i can install mac os X onto a 8gb sd card?
then run it from there?
and i tried mac os x on a emulator like VMware but it said "you already have VMWARE running please close it to continue"
i dont have it running :(
I just burned the image and it’s listed in properties as this:

I tried the Download again from minova, but nero wouldn't burn the image, so I downloaded a program called Infra Recorder, and burned the image from there. Only thing is, even though the disk looks to have been burned on, it is showing NO FILES ! when I try to open/examine the cd in my computer. Also, when I click properties it just says Used 0 bytes - Free No Bytes - Capacity No bytes, - Could anybody please tell me what the hell is going on here, coz I'm banging my head against the wall here......please help - Mark :(
Just tried the iso d/l again from minova, before i got
iATKOSv1.01.iso.zip, but that didn't seem to work as i only ended up with some boot files, (not very large), when I burned the image.
So I tried the d/l again and this time I got iATKOSv1.01.iso. But nero STILL wouldn't recognise it as an image file, so I d/l a program called Infrarecorder, and that seemd to do it, or so I thought.
After the imaged had been burned I just wanted to check the cd in my computer, but when i opened it, the was nothing there. And when i clicked properties for the cd it told me - space used 0 bytes - space free 0 bytes - capacity - no bytes, it's just showing a blue full circle, so it's done something, but I dont know what. Can somebody please please help me, because I am banging my head against the wall here & I don't know what to do - thanks - Mark
Have you tried just booting to the disc? You may not be able to see the files in Windows. Just a thought.
I just needed to know if what I was seeing with regards to the cd data, or lack thereof was normal.
Thanks Anyway - Mark :)

@chana: if you download for free something you're supposed to buy, chances are it's illegal and you could be fined some hundred thousand dollars and maybe even do jail.
@leo: i've written an extensively detailed installation guide in a recent comment above. Read it.
@atiyeh: make sure to burn a bootable image disc. use BurnCDCC and burn nothing but the ISO at 4x speed or less.

I have successfully installed iATKOS v1.0irs on my Core2Duo PC and it is running great, including Network and Sound. That is it runs great until I try to do the Software Update to Lepord 10.5.6 from Apple. I get the "You need to reboot" screen everytime after the Update is installed. Is there something special I need to do to install this Update?
Do I need a Mac keyboard and mouse to use this software?
I just tried to install it, and the "Press Any Key" screen went off fine, but when the screen that says "click the button to continue" came up I couldn't get anything to work.
(I am using a PS/2 mouse and keyboard; my only USB stuff was made by microsoft, so I'm assuming it won't work here.)
i dont care to lose the date, i just want to be able to work with MAC for 7 days before i buy my new computer, because i might switch to mac.
thanks

I am taking an I-Phone development class but unfortunately do not own a Mac. I have a few questions about installing Leopard on the PC.
Is this the most update to date version of Leopard and if not, can it be updated once installed on a PC? I believe the I-Phone SDK requires the most up to the minute version of the OS to be installed.
Also, I have a Core 2 Duo processor and a GeForce 7900 GTO video card with 2 GB of RAM, should that work with this hack?
Thanks for any help.

It installs just fine after I format the hdd to Mac Extended with or without logging, however, on boot up it will sit at the main boot screen with the wheel going for about an hour or 2 and then a grayed out restricted symbol and no mouse pointer on the screen. any info would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.
please, any help would be greatly appreciated
1) You CANNOT install an update direct from Apple. You need to patch it. See the Hackintosh forum at http://forum.insanelymac.com/
2) The AMD version has long been released. See the Hackintosh forum at http://forum.insanelymac.com/
3) Kalyway works for me so use it. See the Hackintosh forum at http://forum.insanelymac.com/
4) iAtkos 6.0 has been released so download it. See the Hackintosh forum at http://forum.insanelymac.com/

Anyone know what to do?
Some tips that may help someone else.
- burn .iso to dvd on 1x speed. I have used imgburn.
- use an intel based pc with only one hard drive (the IDE). With sata it did not succeeded for me. May be because of some BIOS config. problem.
- Do Not select PC-EFI
- Tick 'Remvove kext patch' (forgot the exact label), in customize screen.
I hope it will work.

By the way for everyone else, I don't know what's wrong with your computers, internet, firewall, etc. The seeds, are fantastic. I'm downloading at over 600kbps right now.
Since they are SATA drives each i can open the case quickly and just switch cables to go from PC to Mac.
Is this a quick very clean solution or will i have problems in the bios doing this?
thanks alot

99.9% of ALL THESE COMMENTS are of failures and no success.
Seriously, I tried to get this to work with all the combine knowledge of every computer literate person in this house and had no success.
Anyone who is currently downloading this: STOP - You are wasting your time, this does not work at all.
I'm not just saying this because it didn't work on my computer, I'm saying this because no one BUT the creator got it to work.
"One-Step easy install that almost anyone in the world can follow"- What bullshit
everything has gone right. it gave me msg that mac os x installed successfully
but when i restart my computer it shows me the msg that :-

What should I do? Could it of been a bad burn or where did i go wrong?
And when extracted the .iso from .rar it was exact 2.44 GB (2,621,407,232 bytes) but when I mount it with daemnon tools it is only around 542KB..... So please help, I'm not going to use daemon tools but I just wanted to check if it'll work....
AND OWNER: Please don't provide torrent links again.. they are slow and useless....
There was a waste of 7.42MB and 1 hashfail.
The size of .RAR is 2.08GB
I tried to install it, I erased my hard drive, made a new partition and installed leopard. but then it tells me to restart the computer and i do. i boot my computer with the hard drive with leopard on it and i just shows a blank screen.
Help! anything appreciated!
Help! anything appreciated!
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4541452/iATKOS_...
You can download this iATKOS 1.0i
Mount it with Daemon Tools Lite
Install it to another partition (if you don't know what a partition is then how the hell do you know how to breathe let alone torrent)?
VIOLA! You. Are. DONE.
Seriously you don't even need to burn this to a disc. So get real already. Quit your winging about piracy its everywhere I pay $100 a month for internet I should be entitled to everything else for free. One day EVERYTHING on the internet will be free just you watch.
But thanks for the guide bro you're a darn legend, downloaded at 800KB/s finished in 35 minutes and it works like a charm I'm posting from it.
So my regards to the OP and to everyone else that is having problems for gawds sake use google or stick with your current Operating system don't just try leopard because its new and looks KOOOOLL! You need a genuine reason before you screw around with your OS.
Secondly, and more importantly. I'm trying to install this for a friend on his dell pentium 4 HT intel chipset. Is this chipset able to handle an os like Leopard? As well, any specific hard drive partition types needed to install? One final thing, going into terminal to install that kernal is not seeming to be all that successful for me. Anyone got any troubleshooting? I am entering the HD and partition information correctly.
This sounds so mad.
A couple of questions, does the Pentium M processor count as one of the compatable processors? Also, would this work with the actual OS X dvd that you can buy?
Cheers
Bob
The question that I have is what will be the best Hardware configuration that I can use, so i do not have to deal with drivers, plug in and all that crap. Please suggest what is the best configuration, so it can be play and play like XP. IE: motherboard /brand and type? memory ? processors?
Thanks for suggesting.

Let me make myself clear: This is NOT a place to ask for help.
a) Google. Your questions will probably have been solved.
b) Ask somewhere else. Like a forum. Not a comment page -- it's not like everybody follow this stupid comment page.
c) If you want to install Leopard because "It's so KOOL! I'm hip!" then don't. Buy a Mac instead. Pay Apple for their work.
- how do i come in the BIOS-setup screen of my PC (windows xp)
- when i install OS x does it delete my Windows XP or does it create a dual boot ?
i hope i can get some answers.

Should like you already do that well on your own.
Quick question tried running the installation earlier and i got as far as "select a location to install leopard" but it was not showing any hard drives.
i've purposely partioned a 15GB Drive Called MAC as NTSF or is that wrong? as i want to be able to do a dual boot when i start my laptop either choose Vista or Leopard.
Howzit man, your post about mounting with daemon tools... brilliant. All these f*cktards here whining and complaining. Ive been tinkering with hacked/cooked version of software for my PC and cellphone forever. I've come to learn that the guys from M2D do some incredible work.
Thanks for the upload guys, and well done for making this available! If the leechers are too retarded to get it to work, thats their problem. They cant expect you to have fixes for every mobo, cpu, nic and graphics card on the planet... geez! get real.
Looking forward to installing this.

I have answered so many questions and you guys don't seem to understand whatever anyone has said.

{{ HOW TO INSTALL HACKINTOSH WORRY-FREE }}
WHAT YOU NEED:
-Internet connection
-Mac-to-be computer, with Windows/Linux/whatever OS installed
-another Windows XP computer
-FAT32 thumbdrive
1) Don’t download iAtkos, it is OUTDATED. Search for iDeneb v1.4 OSx86 ISO on your preferred torrent site. iDeneb v1.4 is the latest Hackintosh and currently the only one that has the Mac OSX 10.5.6 installation.
2) Download it, and burn the ISO to a DVD using BurnCDCC (it’s free, Google it).
3) Burn at 2x or 4x speed! This is VERY important.
4) Now to install: I’ve found that things are easier if you install Leo on a secondary hard drive. Go out and buy a SATA or PATA hard drive (I had problems with IDE hard drives). If you're just experimenting, an 80gb hard disk would be sufficient.
5) Do not format the hard drive in Windows yet! You CANNOT install Mac on NTFS or FAT32. Pop in the Hackintosh disc and boot from it via the BIOS.
6) When the Darwin prompt appears, and the countdown begins, hit F8 and type in -v, then press Enter.
7) Select “English”, then proceed.
8) At the “Mac OS X Leopard Installation” screen, do not click “Continue” just yet! At the top of the screen, there should be “Utilities”. Click on that, then Disk Utility.
9) Right-click on the new hard disk and format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). For the name, type in anything that’s one-worded, or else future patching will not work. I typed in “Leopard”.
10) Formatting should take a few seconds. Once done, quit Disk Utility and click on Continue to begin installation.
11) Select the volume named Leopard (or whatever name you typed in while formatting). Proceed.
12) The installer will check the disc for consistency. Although this is not necessary, I recommend you wait for the check to finish. Or else, click on Skip.
13) Let the installation begin. Takes about 20minutes on my Pentium D computer.
14) Once done, restart the computer. Quickly enter the BIOS page.
15) Set the boot configuration so that the Leopard hard disk boots BEFORE the CD drive.
16) Save and exit. The Darwin prompt should appear now. Press F8 and type in -s (for single-user mode).
17) Some lines should scroll past the screen. After that, type in “/sbin/mount -uw /” (without the quotation marks) and press enter.
18) Then, type in “/movevideodrivers” and hit enter. This should fix any blank/blue screen errors.
19) Now type “exit” and let Leopard start. You should see a gray screen with the Apple logo. Wait for awhile.
20) A few prompts should appear. Follow the instructions.
21) After all that, you should be on the Leopard desktop. Wait, dont jump with joy just yet! You’ll need to patch Leopard to start without the DVD. Go here for the patch (download it on a Windows machine):
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopi...
22) Unzip it. Rename the FAT32 thumbdrive as “USB”. Copy all the contents of the patch archive to the thumbdrive root folder.
23) Plug it into the Mac machine, and open Terminal (in the Utilities folder). If the thumbdrive is not detected (doesn't appear on the desktop), restart the computer and re-do this step.
24) Type in (without the quotation marks) “cd /Volumes/USB”
25) Then, type in “./patch.sh Leopard” (replace “Leopard” with the name of your Mac volume)
26) Follow the instructions. Do not install the original Mac core kernals or whatsoever.
27) Now, remove the USB thumbdrive and the Leopard DVD, and restart the computer.
28) Enter the BIOS settings and have the CD drive boot first. Save and exit.
28) You should be looking at the Darwin boot prompt again. Let the countdown finish and you SHOULD be in Leopard.
WARNINGS:
-Do not install any bootloaders. To boot into either Windows/Mac, just switch the boot order of the two hard disks.
-Do not update your Mac via the System Update (many failed Hackintoshs are due to this). Always get patched updates from the InsanelyMac.com forums.
NOTES:
-Sound and networking might not work. Get your fix at the InsanelyMac.com forums.
WARNING:
Anymore morons who wish to comment without reading shall be flamed to the greatest extent.

thanks in advance.
I must admit i am very proud of myself as i got it to triple booth with vista and ubuntu (linux) thanx to Acronis Os selector, I am even using it right now...only pain i have is that the wifi does not seem to work for me, would really like that cuz i hate cables.
Anyway i had to reboot like 3 times
1. on the dot prompt screen (i just did the diagnostic thingy it suggested)
2. on the apple loading screen(hard restart thats all i.e holding down the power button)
3.On the registration window (hard restart again)
& then it just worked
If u plan to double, triple or quad booth, install windows vista first, partition your hard disc (i have only one, 320g), i used acronis os selector & installed the booth manager (the last item) then logged out used the acronis to create more partitions, & had to reinstall windows vista again cuz i guess shrinking its size(when windows wasnt looking) caused a problem,(if u can create the partitions b4 installing an os first then no need for my long process as this is from a fairly noobish prespective lol), now i just logged into the new windows acct installed acronis & the boot selector again, logged out popped the mac dvd in & ran the process (a lot of youtubing knowledge u really have to know the install customization fairly well otherwise there will be a problem as its the most important part) when that worked, i used the mac boot loader to log into windows, repaired my acronis boot selector (cuz that goes with every new install or major file structure/partition change) and then i logged out & installed linux from a cd then used grub (its own boot loader to log back into windows & repair acronis yet again.(both linux & osx boot loader can only find windows nothing more well at least from what i did)..brrrrr i hate that part) but in the end it was all done/sorted yipee
so now i triple boot in style & the good part is i dont have to duplicate files cuz both linux & mac can mount my vista file system(which has the largest partition of the 3) so all my music/comic collection(both over 50g) are never a few clicks away on any os, SWEET
so heres my partition summary:
vista- about 260g
mac- about 30g
linux- about 10g
swap(for linux)- about 500mb
my laptop is an advent 8115 its configuration is
intel pentium4 dualcore T2080 1.73GHz
2gig ram
Intel GMa950 graphics card
sata 320g hard disc
booting with acronis boot selector
Windows vista home premium
Mac OS X
Linux Ubuntu 8.10
Good luck with yours!

using the iDeneb v1.4 OSx86 ISO
i have reached the selecting language and utilities part but the major problem is that i cant use my intex PS2 mouse. it wont move .i only use my USB keyboard but i cant use it to enter the utilities.
please help.
thanks so much
get the iatkos v 5i from mininova
search: iATKOS 5i 10.5.5 DVD for Intel
to burn the iso i used ifrarecorder (google it)
I recommend this as i have never even bothered to do a checksum for a very long time after i found this, even burning at maximum speeds, i burn iso's of windows software, linux distro's etc
If you want to dual boot, get acronis os selector v10 i think, i got that from piratebay (look for it) then install that on your windows, shrink the vista partion from the vista snap-in utility, so u have a location to install the mac (u might want to create yet another one now for the mac time machine backups)
now install the boot selector from acronis folder on start menu(the last item) & i recommend burning the acronis to a disc so you are never faced with the problem of not being able to booth into windows due to a corrupted boot launch as you can always repair the boot os selector install from it.
To do the install i used a second laptop to view various install helps while working on the destination install laptop
if you want a trouble free install (well maybe not 100% free, but working) you should consult a few guides these are the ones i used
http://iatkos.wikidot.com/
u cant go wrong with the creators
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeYYCYTPyiI
this shows a clear analysis of the customizations you should pick
thats about it, the main place you could fail at is the customization of the mac install you need to use the drivers necessary for your specific laptop/desktops.
Good luck

I am reading this almost 2 years since posting. I aim to get a new high end PC about $1500 will do, and do this.
Questions:
I have the original 10.5 installer. Is this fine or I must have the one from mininova?
I can boot Mac OS X natively? No need for any PC ware?
Will the mic jack work? Mac inherently only have line-in, with no mic support, but this is soft/firmware issue. Will it now work on PC?
Cheers. :)
when you say you have the original 10.5 installer do you mean a retail dvd of osx? if so then its not possible to install that on a pc like the one at mininova cuz that requires some complicated tweaking in command prompt (i think)..
I recommend the mininova one as i can confirm it works 100%
(well maybe not 100% but top tier for me) even faster than vista but slightly slower than ubuntu 9.04(linux) with a 4ext file extension (that thing scares me a little with the speed & maybe my open window animation too but thats besides the point)
no mic with it though haven't really gone all out for a solution (if any exists) even headphones don't seem to work on my install...but these are things i don't plan to use anyway...
yep the chameleon booth loader allows you to select either the osx or vista os by default provided the vista install was installed 1st.(but i wanted an easy triple boot setup which ) you might have to press F8 to see the vista os though
so about the new pc, try to get a pentium based one with the dual core (as this works best), have an integrated wireless card that isn't an intel pro 3495 abg as the wifi is not supported yet ...there are also other ones too, but i cant remember now just google "the best internal wifi cards for iatkos" or similar & that should sort u out.
Then buy your pc in line with the specs that would support all your findings.

(0,5 kb/s) plz help!!! a hack for fast torrent speed?
pcexp.webs.com free full games
and seed!!!
For burning, I highly recommend BurnCDCC, it is free. Search it on Google.
Retail DVDs will NOT work. You'll have to tweak the install beforehand.
Partition installs are risky, and if the bootloader fails somehow you'll be locked out of both OS - including your Windows. This is why I recommend installing on a secondary hard drive.
The main reason why there are no seeders for iATKOS 1.0 is because it is AN ANCIENT RELEASE. The current one is v5.0, as stated by Jubei. However I still recommend iDeneb v1.4 (OS X 10.5.6).
If you're installing on a secondary hard drive, bootloaders are unnecessary. I have problems with Chameleon, and consequently I had to reformat the hard drive.
Mac OS X cannot be installed on NTFS - reformat it as Mac OS X Journaled format from the Disk Utility in the install DVD.
Finally, stop asking here and just go to www.insanelymac.com, the official Hackintosh project website.
kthxbai.
Please reply because if I can keep both, I'm going to install OS X tonight.
Thanks,

@ all i have download the file and try to install it on virtualbox. it show the apple icon and close with error.
at logs it say a fatal error in recompiler cpu: triple fault plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help
Dont you guys have ANY respect for the developers?? They work night and day to bring OS X releases that you pirate overnight and try instaling on Intel PC
im not flaming anyone but its unethical and stupid since you WILL have problems,you WONT get updates once apple gets to know you have pirated the os.What will you do then??
The best thing would be to stick to shitty windows or get linux.Ubuntu is quite usable if you want simplicity
I also have the retail version 10.5.6. Can you tell me or give me the link to install this in VMware 6.5 and on a seperate drive.
Thanx
Dean
I have Intel Core 2 Quad processor, Nvidea 680i LT SLI motherboard and Nvidea Geforce 8800GT graphic card and 2GB of RAM.
one more thing my motherboard didnt have built in VGA.
2.2GHz Core 2 Duo Centrino VPro processor
2GB RAM
120GB HDD
A screwed up Vista...
Ok, here's my problem. I got myself the torrent for this, 2.09GB all right. Now its always inactive and there's no evident problem with my bittorrent. Do you think I made a mistake half way? I've been acquainted with booting-- I reformat my vista every now and then because of occasional blue screens due to my need for speed undercover. I just wanna confirm why the torrent is staying inactive-- this is the first time EVER, since I have even successfully torrented a whole 6 GB NFS Undercover....
Need a little assistance.
Thanks.
:D
Anyway, do you think my computer would be able to run this?
However, I do not know how to
1. Burn at 'slow speed' (no such option in my DVD writer, I understand I may have to download a better burning software. I'm looking for one now. Nero 7?)
2. How to Boot to Disk? (I have dual XP and Vista, and also have a HDD password. There was no 'system options press F8' or anything like that, jumped straight into the windows boot manager after it says 'press control P to something something' and then like a whole page of words, I saw something like 'new table fingerprint set' and some other booting stuff and I'm in the boot manager ALREADY. What must I do???
Please someone reply me!
:(
I know it says AMD isn't supported, but I have read around that it has been done and there are some extremely non user friendly guides out there for modifying the file. I have Vista 32 on my machine and I have created a boot/restore disc for it to do this all with. I even have a bought copy of the latest Leopard, unsure of whether I can use it or not, unopened so I can take it back.
If somebody can please guide me through this I will be forever grateful. I'm a graphic arts major at ITT Tech and I do independent study for Flash and Flex. I'd really like a mac can't can't afford the bastards. Please help. I'd appreciate your time.

the basic os ran great, but the sound, wifi, ethernet, sleep, etc., didn't work. i expected as such, but thought it would be corrected with an update to 10.5.3.
however, when i ran the kalyway 10.5.3 combo update, it wouldn't reboot. i know i missed a few patches, and thus screwed up the sequence. so now i'm downloading leo4allv3final, as recommended per toshibatricks, and will try it all again.
this has been a reeeeeealy fun project, and i'm glad i'm learning how to be a "real" computer geek, not just relying on my g4 powerbook and "evil steve's" agenda.
fyi, the satellite has 100gig hd, and i partitioned 50 gig for osx86, 30 gig for "other", and 10 gig for linux puppy.
at startup, i hold f8, and can choose which partition to boot. not quite a true dual-boot or simultaneous os scenario, but good enough for me.
btw, puppy works the best out of ANYTHING so far; all usb, optical drive, players, wifi, ethernet, etc run w/o hitch.
peace. -sg
RE: Hunter Modisett
I downloaded the iso and burned it to a dvd. But when i booted it up it loads and starts the gray screen with the apple. But then after one or two seconds my computer restarts. im on a toshiba satillite A105 with ubuntu. please help
thanks, and awesome tutorial,
HFS Master
I'm having problem running the iATKOS v1.0 DVD.
If I let the DVD run automatically, a gray screen with Apple logo in the centre appears, and after a while a symbol of a circle with a cross line shows up, and it just stays there forever.
If I press F8 when the DVD boots, and type -v, there will be a lot of scrolling text, and after a while the phrase "waiting for root..." shows up and keeps showing up line after line forever.
I don't know if I did any wrong.
My PC has:
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8200 @ 2.66GHz
4GB of RAM
Motherboard Asus P5KC
Graphics Card Asus EN8600GT (512MB)
Windows XP SP3
I'm running a hard drive with 3 partitions on it, and just formatted the first partition for installation of Leopard.
Please help.
Thanks a lot.
I got an error message after installing iATKOS 1i:
"You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button."
What should I do now?
Please help.
However, I do not know how to
1. Burn at ’slow speed’ (no such option in my DVD writer, I understand I may have to download a better burning software. I’m looking for one now. Nero 7?)
2. How to Boot to Disk? (I have dual XP and Vista, 2 partitions... Update: There is a boot to option, but no matter whether I press Boot to DVD, USB or HDD, it still directly goes to the boot manager.
Please someone reply me!
:(
I am not sure thats the right way to burn the iso file, might i suggest using a re-writable dvd so you can always erase the dvd if you make a mistake.
download a free iso burner, i recommend infrarecorder, you will see the option for burn speed (although i always use the max without problems)
when you are in the bios, you have to select the save & edit option once you change the computers boot order. Not sure of your setup, but the options are always at the bottom of the screen for you to choose.
Dont be deceived by some posters on here, it does work cuz i am a living testimony. Have not updated to 10.6 yet and have no intension of doing so yet cuz its working a-ok....(save the headphones jack and the wifi, but i got a usb wireless dongle real cheap). So I am content with with my triple boot setup as it is
Windows 7
mac osx
Linux ubuntu 9.04
sorry, I meant to say the "save and exit" option and not "save and edit"
@chung: It's best to boot from different hard disks, partitions are RISKY! and don't download iAtkos 1.0, its OLD... get iDeneb v1.4 OSx86 10.5.6 and use Pacifist to update to 10.5.7.
Any problems please ask the creators of the Hackintosh releases at www.insanelymac.com/forum/
In my boot manager I see my 'older version of windows' and 'vista' and the bottom, as you have said, is some troubleshooting. I don't think I see a save&exit button...
*** Virtual machine kernel stack fault (hardware reset) ***
The virtual machine just suffered a stack fault in kernel mode. On a real computer, this would amount to a reset of the processor. It can be caused by an incorrect configuration of the virtual machine, a bug in the operating system, or a problem in the VMware Workstation software. Press OK to reboot virtual machine or Cancel to shut it down.
any ideas???
Thanks

Karthik I strongly advise you to put this information within the tutorial as this seems to be a problem many are facing.
Thanks.
When i finished the installation of leopard and reboot the system
(from harddrive), there is a blinking underline character all time!!!
What should i do?????????
I am now downloading the file (iATKOS v1.0i) but i have a slow internet speed.. so just tell me does it works on my laptop (ASUS) having a dual core cpu??
Thanx for who did this whatever it worked or not!
@ Austin, no i don't think so. but i'm running Parallels Desktop on Mac OSX - you can put any operating system on, i have Windows Vista, 7 Beta and Ubuntu. also possible with VMWare. games are crap though, coz the graphics memory is shared between the running OSes. gonna try installing a second one dedicated to virtual machine only, see if that works. in theory it should.
By the way i am still downloading it!! 50% has been downloaded and i hope it will work..
I'm a newbye , this guide is amazing !

Just search for iATKOS and here will be the patched one :)
I wrote the ISO image to a blank 4.7GB DVD with Roxio, and just to make sure I didn't do something wrong I did it again. The Roxio SW only wrote 314K of the 2GB both times. Not sure why. Found my problem though, about 1 hour after my post. I downloaded and installed InfraRecorder and used it to burn the ISO to disc. Amazingly, it burned all 2GB without a problem. Roxio didn't work. Who knew.
i wan to ask about the way we istall....
should I follow the 1 Step or 3 Step istalation??

but of no use
if your laptop has a webcam (build in) it's going to work with things like photobooth?
appears, the list is empty and there isn't any drive to select.
I have a FujitsuSiemens laptop xi 2428 with two partitions (C for the Vista OS and D
for data storage).
Any help o. This error? How to make my diskdrive visible at the installation of leopard?
Thank you in advance
1) it DOES NOOOT work on AMD !!!!
2) STOOP using old hardware !!! i.e. P IV etc !!!
leopard is the counterpart to Vista so it stands to reason it needs gear on same level of development, same era, not something from pre-history i.e. PIV
and an ATOM is waay to weak to support something as complx and powerful as Leopard
linux yes, leopard deffinately no
sorry for the harsh tone, but some people just cant seem to pay attention and read properly

1) would Leopard run smooth on this ? will it also be compatible with this rig ?
2) no offense for the article author.....i kinda find it hard to believe all i have to do is just burn an image then just boot off it !!!!!
i mean: C MON ! this is how xp itself is basicly installed !!!!!
reading other sites, i see one must also fiddle with BIOS, then start off 10.5.2, and then manually work his way upwards
and the procedures for upgrading off 10.5.2, arent exactly ,,one step''
( more like 4 - 5 difficult steps for each upgrade stage )
-------------------------------------------------------------
can someone, who used the procedure in the article, tell me if it worked like it said ?
and please....other than just booting off image....what other settings you guys did ?

I've looked at many websites but they all are doing something that it seems mine cant do! I am so confused. Every time i boot up my computer and i hit F2, it comes up with some kind of setup page, NOT BIOS setup. If someone can please help me, I will be eternally grateful. I didnt find a BIOS thingy, but i did boot my computer from my CD drive and still nothing. Idk what im doing wrong.

i sometimes need to use vista

ANY tips will help thank you :)
though, im completely new to the OS X scene, and am looking to experience something new.
now first i would like to know if this is possible with my current setup, before i make another unseccessful attempt.

Currently installed OS is Vista:Home Premium sp2.
basically im looking for someone to first, confirm this is compatible, and second perhaps troubleshoot with me, as i have already partly entered the install process once, and was met with a blank light blue screen with nothin but a spinning wheel for a mouse pointer.
i'll be checking back quite frequently for answers, so all help is greatly appreciated :)
