QUOTE(CPURanger @ Sep 16 2008, 10:46 PM) It should work, have to try upgrade 10.5.5 when get back my pc, still stuck at repair shop. then how come my pc can boot ...i m try install only osx86 10.5.2 (single boot) I thought you installed retail leapord, not iAtkos ? Added on September 16, 2008, 10:53 pm 1. Although AMD should work, best choice is Intel especially Intel Core Dual and latest. 2. Correct, HFS+ Journaled is the right format. 3. Single boot, GUID or MBR should be no problem. If you running dual boot XP/Vista, MBR is better choice. What is the message on the screen during boot up when it get stuck ? |

QUOTE(CPURanger @ Sep 18 2008, 08:22 AM) You mean can not boot, right ? It probably means the drivers is not compatible with your hardware. You did not say what happen during boot up, what messages or anything. It's hard to tell from here. i m trying to install on blank sata harddisk...First of all, OS X is design to install on Macs only, Apple never wanted any PC to run OS X. No major manufacturer actually write OS X drivers for their hardware (mother board, video, sound card and etc.). OSX86 is work of hackers, OSX86 distro = OS X + hacked drivers. Given PC with many variety combo of hardware, it is possible there is no driver for particular hardware. That's the reality of OSX86. I suggest you try installing different driver option of your distro. It may take many tries and installing. You may also have try a different distro. Do your howework, find out how compatible is your hardware and read up insanelymac.com tutorial . Added on September 18, 2008, 8:26 am That's what I thought earlier on. I used Kalyway as temp os to install retail leapord. all ok ...can install but after finish install (the installer tell to restart to complete installation) can't boot at all...stop at cd rom(i m set cdrom as first boot) do i need to take out the disk after restart or ?how to make the disk bootable? i m set the disk to mbr partition on install (and mention that 3 file is copy to disk...i think is bootloader file). pls:will hang when custom install choose single boot ...)why??

No need to take out DVD but you can try anyway. Have you check with fdisk or other disk utility to see whether partition is marked bootable ? It should be quite straight forward, install, reboot and leopard welcome screen appears (depends on distros, some distros no welcome screen). Have you try pressing F8 to see boot up messages ?
