i partition my hdd about 20GB. Cos' i install some software like CS3, WC3 etc.. Minimal i would say is 4-5GB. The installation is about 3Gb+ if you don't install multiple language and also printer drivers.

Thanks,maybe will be just 10/15 GB for me since HDD only 100GB

I would really suggest installing on it's own drive. If you take the time to set osx up right on the right hardware, you are going to like it more and more. Increasing the size of the partition is a big pain, save yourself the time and just install on an extra drive. Bootloaders can end up being a real headache also, better just to use your bios to choose the drive. Fudged MBRs are no fun.

Thanks for your suggestions,you mean use another hard drive for os x?

Yes, choose which drive you want to boot from by your bios @ boot time. I end up booting XP now around 1 or 2 times a month

945P or 965P chipset support MAC OSX better?

anyone tried installing osx86 on a benq s73?
the osx86 wiki says there's no succesfull installation yet.
specs are located here

i got 2 hdd on my pc. a 40gb and a 160gb , windows xp is on 40gb, but both are ntfs formatted. if i partition it, will i get a fat32 and ntfs on the same drive?

Can la.. use partition magic or what..

Btw, your post is Off Topic le..

can anybody help me??i tried to install 10.4.8 version one but but after i boot the dvd is says applehda.kext failed to load??any idea??tried 10.4.7...but neither can enter installation page...

Could I use 10.4.8 if my com is using p4 2.4 northwood?I tot it's SSE2?While 10.4.8 requires SSE3? correct me if im wrong

Do you dl the right version? Might be the iso you dl is corrupted.

Yep.. can. You need to get the iso which got SSE2 patch.

just now tried again the 10.4.7...during the grey apple background loading suddenly there's a small "no parking" icon appear...and still can't enter the installation page..i use the iso that most hackintosh user used...the jas repack

when do i install the driver ? after i installed osx86 or during?

looking for palit 7600gs agp driver

after install the osx86.

you will need to find the .kext for ur gc, edit and put into the right place yourself.

Usually I Think You Are Facing The "Waiting For Root" Problem.. Join IRC And There Will Be People There To Guide You In Solving That Problem..

how to join??wut cenel?

Again , read the wiki and search the forums of insanelymac. JUST USE THE SEARCH Function , its all there . Like I said , you need to have some 1337 knowledge on how to install kexts and stuff like that.

Again OSX has drivers for NVidia cards , all you need is EFI Emulation for it. Thank god , Jas' DVD And Tubgirl comes with them. So you just tick them and it will be installed for you

If you're looking for custom drivers made by a friend of mine ,DiaboliK . He has made it soo easy , then check out his site http://diabolik1605.com/DHF and for help on natit , join irc.osx86.hu , #natit


Again , you need to check what is causing waiting for root device...If you're installing on a 965P mobo , it will not work


I say if you're not up for this challenge , go ahead and get a mac. It saves you all the time and hassle !

Can I ask a noob question, will hackintosh run smoothly on a notebook with build in video card which use shared memory?
