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.

Can la.. use partition magic or what..

Btw, your post is Off Topic le..

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.

smoothly in what sense? Gaming? Photoshop? Or what? Please be more specific

For built-in graphics, best is to used either intel GMA900/950. Other than that, less chance to be able to work.

he means Ge Force

You can try.. No harm anyway

In order to install mac osx, the partition MUST be in mac journaled. Since mac only can write on fat32, so you can use partition magic to format it into fat32. Then, boot the hacktinosh dvd and format that fat32 into mac format.

Not really. I got vista and hackintosh running on the same hdd. Just need some tweaking

yep. Don't simply check all the boxes. Check those boxes according to your rig

@rice, type -v when you boot to osx. it will show the loading drivers and etc. see got what kind of error msg.

Remember that your processor is SSE2. So cannot use SSE3 patch, it require SSE2 patch

err.. you can try using ati9700.kext. Last time my gc is 9550, i used that kext to enable QE and CI

hmm.. is it after the installation finish and reboot? then you get that message?


Mostly is your SATA controller issue. Your mobo is VIA or intel? Try get the latest iso, 10.4.8 or 10.4.10

Here you go.. That's the problem. I also have with 10.4.6 iso, cos' my mobo chipset is VIA. 10.4.8 iso solve my problem. Anyway, now you can get 10.4.9 or 10.4.10 iso. i heard the setup for that much more easier. Modified kext are provided in the iso, so you don't need to waste time to search in the net.

The audio, you can try this. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=15555

For your gc, it kinda old and hard to enable CI/QE. You can try the old method to force to change the resolution. Before you boot to Osx86, press F8 and type "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32@85". If it works for you, then you can mess up with the boot plist. Go to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist Copy the file to desktop and open that file using text editor.
Add this two lines:

Save the file and paste to that directory again. Repair permission via diskutility. Remember, try the first step before you mess up with the boot plist.

Ntg wrong using old iso. Who so dumb to dl the new iso again if you already got a good working iso? Btw, i using JaS as well and now updated to 10.4.10 without problem

Hmm.. maybe you do the wrong way or what. By default, any hackintosh sure can type some command in the darwin bootloader. type -v to show those kexts process and so on. Type -x to boot to safe mode. Type -s to boot to single mode. etc..

What's your vaio spec? If 8000series gc, don't even hope to get CI/QE. But if ATI HDseries, it might can. Some ppl manage to get it. GMA900/950 is the good way to get CI/QE. For Nvidia, 6000series and 7000series. For ATI, X1000series and above. Btw, some might not work due to too much VRAM. That's quite troublesome.

Here's my Hackintosh (Leopard) screenshot

oh.. my bad.. Cos' i tot lappy nvidia gc should work, except 8000series. That one sure hopeless.

Ya. A527. Kalyway version. I lazy go dl those ori dmg. And it require you to patch yourself. Waste time and hdd space. Hmm.. 599 version still so-so. It fix two issues, PPC stuff and HP drivers. Btw A527 consider quite stable.

PS: Great lappy. Too bad mbp is out of my budget. So only can choose mb. Hmm, probably you could wait till next year, cos' probably will have next revision mb/mbp

yea.. it supported G4 and G5. G3 kena dumped cos too slow.

I hope got santa rosa mb. If now i buy, it kinda a waste, cos' buying last year stuff, i hate that GMA950. Damn it.

My pc rig is PD2.66, 768mb DDR, 6800XT. I think the rest of the stuff no need to mention. Low-budget rig btw

yep. it won't work for QE/CI. That's mean you only can surf the net and do some word processing. You can't play video, games and those cool animation, in addtion, you might feel quite lag and not smooth

yep. But then you can install 3rd party software like macdrive.. Then, A can read/write B. But B can only read A. Remember that, in osx, cannot write NTFS. You need install ntfs-3g to enable to write, but it's unstable. Sometimes might cause error.

yea and plus INTEL mobo.. That what i lack of now

choose asus mainboard, core2duo, 2gb ddr2 ram, nvidia 7000series graphic card and whatever size hdd space. Sth like that...

Btw, just choose intel core2duo for the processor and for the mainboard, it should be okay for any brand but must be intel chipset la. Ntg much really. If you mention laptop, then really will cause some headache if you're out of luck
