Re: Install Mac OS X Leopard OSx86 on PC Dual Boot Windows 7, Vista in 9 Easy Steps

@Repititor
Its not possible to install Mac from the Original retail disc.
Infact, it had been that easy, OSx86 project would have never come into existance.
Actually, what happens in Osx86 project is, it has MODIFIED kernel that let's you support all your x86 systems with Mac os. aLSO, it installs certain drivers (.Kexts) which are required to support your chipset, graphics and processor coz the hardware on macbook pro is pretty different when it comes to type of chipset, graphics it uses.

Forget that retail dvd, download a osx86 project.

Partitions never vanish.
I assume you used your disk manager in vista or 7 to shrink.
When windows shrinks the drive, immediately creates a new drive marked "Unallocated 7.95GB" for your case.

@Marco Almeida

As EasyBCD is not compatible with Windows XP, try the following. Add this line to the boot.ini file:
C:\chain0=”Mac OS X”

chain0 file should be available on ur osx86 disk, copy it from there to c:\

Now U reboot, U`ll get two options at boot.

@Anshu
Do u get signal with other phones using same sim ?
If there is a difference, this problem is to do with hardware rather than firmware or baseband.
If yes, probably your antenna is not working. In iPhone 2g, antenna is located under that black plastic covering.
Probably if u got it repaired or opened it, u could have broken the antenna wire. which is white in color.
There are two antenna wires located inside, one for cell, otehr for wifi.
Get it checked.

Which map software are u using?
If you are talking abt the inbuilt google maps, don't rely on the cache it holds. a bit better approach is to install "offline maps" (only for jailbroken).

Best option is to use xGPS (jailbroken only).
It let's u download complete city map and transfer them to iphone wirelessly.
Ofcourse its 2g, u dont have GPS but it will serve offline maps pretty gracefully.

It shouldn't be a hardware issue, so your vendor will do nothing but reinstall vista or something. May be you should start over with win 7 and then mac os.

You seem to be new to computers, I would not recommend you to straightaway follow this. Get some person whose good at computers, show him this guide, it would be all fine.

@Tegs
There could be 2 reasons.
1.You didn't burn iso properly using tool like PowerISO, MagicISO.
2. You don't have "Boot from CD/DVD" enabled in your BIOS. do that and change the Boot priority giving highest precedence to CD/DVD.
You should be able to boot.

@kbuman
Ok, you have a AMD Phenom. I've installed once on a quad-core phenom using a OSx86 distro called "LawlessPPC-Leo-10.5.4-Phenom&AMD;". Search for "Lawlessppc" on google you should get it somewhere.

@Grayson
I'm really sorry but I'm clueless. Till I see a message that quotes certain error, It's hard to predict what went wrong. Did you install a new driver or something recently?
Try booting in safe mode and fixing things up- Here's how you can boot into Safe mode-
use "-x" at the boot prompt

@Raj
Dell d630 has Intel 3945ABG, You can try the experimental wireless project- http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin , but this might crash Mac from booting next time as well. Install at your own risk. If it crashes, boot into safe mode and remove the driver.

iPC would be good. and regarding your Ethernet NIC, I`ll be honest- Since it has been hard to support on windows, it would be even harder to find on Mac. But I believe your Ethernet chipset should be RTL1000. If yes, it's supported, iPC, Kalyway comes with this KEXT driver!

WM is decent platform, nothing to hate about it.

Palm pre is a better platform for gaming compared to a TYPICAL WM phone. A typical WM phone is <400MHZ (in fact 95% of WM phones falls under this category). Highends are still very rare in current market.
Try using Pre SDK with the simulator, the kind of Powerful API and diagnostics (with detailed performance profiling) it gives to the user, developing a game is Slick!
on the other hand MS never did a good SDK for WM. It has basic profiling and a fair SDK.
Ofcourse iPhone 3.1 SDK is most advanced yest, and thnx to openGL, it has gone further.

I cant do that, its not my personal system.
Also it's 32 bit, since I'm developing 32bit apps only, upgrade from 4gb to 8gb is not beneficial keeping in mind the total memory addresses 32bit can map.
Some quote 3Gb is the usable limit, but i've found 4gb beneficial over 3GB.
That's why I need to save resources by switching to a lighter browser :)
64bit is still a dream for most applications. But I foresee the urgency.

You seem to be mistaken, vivek. I'm using developer version of 7 since last year. It's a charm, its a delight, its addiction.
I bet once someone moves from XP or Vista, there's no looking back.
Performance is way to better specially if you have decent hardware (2Ghz +2gb RAM)
Windows 7 unlike Vista, respects your hardware. It's the best Rig to buy this winter.

I tested win 7 on low hardware - Netbook - 1.6Ghz Atom processor and 512mb ram. It ran, but was slow. With 1GB RAM, it was good enough.
Verdict - If you have 1.6+ processor and 1GB RAM, 7 will rule.

Yes, right now it does, I'm experimenting and trying to findout a way by which it can be done with one harddisk. For the meantime you can use a USB external HDD. (get it from a friend and get going)

Try This: Downgrade the iphone to 3.0 with DFU mode, jailbreak, add cydia and all that stuff and then upgrade the iphone with the custom firmware.
