    if anyone could reply it would be alot of help :) thanks

  • Fabulous instruction, GFOnyx.... what brought me here is that you've succeeded on an HP Pavillion. I'm trying to install OSX as a dual boot w/Win7 on my HP dv9620us (AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58, 4G ram, dual 120G SATA drives but no AHCI management on bios!). My current obstacle: I boot from the install DVD, and get the installation screen, but Disk Utility doesn't see my disks (no less partitions) at all -- only the back up external drive plugged in via USB. Any suggestions? THANKS

  • rad how do i do it

    i have homeWork i can only do on a mac

  • guess what? $700 (AUD) for a laptop higher power than a macbook, running the AOS with boot camp = my laptop!!!

  • Where did you get the macos drivers?

  • guys, why not just get a Mac? If you want OS X so badly, just buy the computer that it's been made for.

  • @hasansal11 well, you can also save up money to buy one.

  • Well, is good! I have a problem about it. Since you say it catch all the things well... Why my WiFi doesn't work at all? How to fix it? Need kext or what?

  • im running a HP G62 -106sa, im going to hope there isnt much dif between your pavilion to my g62, ive been trying to find details on a decent distro for ages, but none seem to specifically support my laptop, so ill give the link to your guide a go, and hope for the best, if you know im wasting my time let me know :D

    Nice vids by the way mate.

  • @martyn2186

    You are not wasting your time BUT

    My guide is old which means there are easier ways out there for a retail installation as is the one on my guide.For example you can use the Boot132 method by which you do not need anymore to have an installation of Leopard first in order to make Snow Leopard work and

    If you dont mind you can use a distro which makes installation a whole lot easier.It will be as easy as installing windows but distros have other drawbacks compared to retail.

    Thx

  • is there a place that i can get step by step instructioin on how to do this. i have an hp dv6 quad. i have the muscle for it. and also, i know the drivers for the wifi, graphics card and the audio, webcam ect. how is it dont and where to get them from. im thinking about getting a 1TB drive and splitting it for osx snow leopard and windows 7 ultimate.

  • Πολύ καλή παρουσίαση! Αναφέρεις πως πλεον δεν χρειάζεται για την εγκατάσταση partition με το Leopard. Τί θα μπορούσα να χρησιμοποιήσω; Έχω ένα pavilion dv6187ea και με έβαλες στην πρίζα....

  • @nicklionas

    retail & Boot132

  • @GFOnyx

    Thank you very much for your help.

    I managed to install Snow Leopard in my HP DV6187ea using Empire EFI 1.063 (for some strange reason no other boot disc worked). Everything works besides the wifi adapter. I found a kext that at least makes the device visible, but won't use it till there's a more stable version out there for download. One question though... If I allow the screen to "sleep" from the Energy Saver in System Preferences, it doesn't "wake up" when I press any key. Any ideas?

  • @nicklionas re file ellinas ine aftos pou to anevase?

  • I love how you really stay up to date with people asking you questions. thats all :)

    I wanna try doing this one day.

  • Hi, I Have a Pavilion dv9000, do you know some driver for my webcam?

  • Hay what version of OS 10.5 did you use because as i understand it I need to install 10.5 first before I can get 10.6

  • @techkidguru

    You understood coreectly but there is no need to do that anymore because there are new methods out there not requirung an existing installation of Leopard.However i used 10.5.7 on this video and then i installed 10.6 but if you choose that method it does not matter which version of leopard you will use.

  • I got my dv6626us to daul boot windows 7 ult and sl 10.6.4 today in under 2 hours. Only need the kext for webcam and sd cardreader if you could. my remote even works. hp webcam shows up in usb device in system info but don't work. If you know what kext you used that would be cool. Thanks Ted

  • Nice job!

    Do the webcam & microphone work?

    I would like to give this a try.

  • Nice lol, but I still prefer Apple's design. But cool, I'm no hater ;)

  • Hay Man, Is your IR remote working on snow leopard? I've seen you use it with leopard on your other video.

    Everything else works flawlessly though.

  • @GFOnyx lol, I have actually been looking for someone who could do it correctly and not by a fake clone of osx! and thank you! and thanks for doing it on the pavillian dv9000 series, I have the same laptop, and I miss my giant screen, but i like mac too much to go back to windows for daily use(not that i don't use it every other day) but the spec's on mac and HP's match in quite a few places, so I guess it makes it more possible. plus HP bios are mac readable. great job! but can you explain how?

  • @dollyandlorettalover

    Yes.you just install it

  • @GFOnyx

    Oh really!!!! COOOL! haha..I think I might try it out in VMware first though to see if I like the whole OS

  • @dollyandlorettalover

    You won't. Coz its hell slow on vmware.

  • Can this be done on a Dell XPS 420 (desktop) with an Intel Q6600 processor and 4 GB of DDR2 RAM? I can provide other details if necessary.

    I know someone who was able to do this on their slightly older Dell desktop, but he doesn't have time to explain and install it on mine.

    The guide only explains how to do this from an earlier installation, but I need to know how to get Leopard first. How do I do that?

    Thanks in advance!

  • After like 3 seconds of googling, your computer is compatible with Kalyway 10.5.2.

    Find out what type of ethernet input or card you have. Download the kext (driver) for it and put it on a flash drive

    Download "Kext Helper B7"

    Download "kalyway 10.5.2" (that patched version of Mac)

    Burn the iso.

    Run installationg

  • How'd you get this to work well? I have an HP Pavilion dv6500 (Limited White Edition) w/an IntelCore2Duo 1.5ghz, 2GB RAM, Intel GMA9500 graphics, and 250GB HD.

  • dude..... maybe somebody already asked u this.... but what hp pavillion laptop is dat?????

  • good

  • would u b aball to run logic studio 9 on that computer? thats the million dollar question

  • @fabiangallegos

    already do along with Final Cut.Thank you very much. :D

  • Yes you can. Logic 9 works on all hackintoshes pretty much as long as your sound card is recognised.

  • yes, you can.

    but just if CI/QE are working.

    well....... i 'm using a hackintosh n logic studio 8 now. i 'll try with final cut.

  • I have a Snow Leopard 10.6 Os X. and i insert the disc into the disc launcher and i can intall on pc?

  • i have a hp Dv6527 and everytime i try to get Leopard (previos) the instalation goes normal but it cant detect my harddrive, ive tried every guide

    any ideas?

  • Go To Utilities At The Top Bar And Press Disk Drive ( a Name that Includes A Drive )

  • still cant see any Hard drive or any partition

  • During the install, you have to go to the top menu and use disk utility to change your hard drive type by choosing your internal hard drive>partition>options>GUID. Afterward, it should have no problem installing on your drive.

  • 我爱HP

  • i have mac os x 10.5.7 in my desktop computer, mac is so cool

  • coooool

    but why bother putting all that hate towards mac users

    its very reductive

  • Do you have QE/ CI?

  • Hey whats the exact model of this hp laptop please?

  • how did you do that zooming in thingy to show the version of osx?

  • Did you have to tweek the anything?

    and did you have to change the wifi card?

    Thanks, David

  • I got Leopard running. Slow as hell. Wanna get snow leopard.

  • that is cool what is the hardware specs on your machine? i have a dv9000 but it runs an amd chip not sure if it would work. right now dualbooting ubuntu and windows 7

  • I agree that they're overpriced, but when you want the best you have to pay for the best.

  • They are not the best.you pay 1500$ for hardware that costs 500$.Simply put they are made from common average parts and they have you think they are something extraordinary.For instance the screen on the new Imac is just an LG model.

    Again, nothing special.

  • May I ask what model HP that is, and if i wanted to do the same thing, is xp the way to go, do you have a list of the best laptops they work on or will any good laptop due as long as you follow your guide? thanks in advance.

  • Not sure what you mean by "XP is the way to go".As i say in my guide you must have Leopard installed first and then within leopard you install Snow Leopard.However even if my guide is universal you must have some compatible hardware.

  • Did have a problem getting the drivers to work because I heard that the WiFi drivers and the sound drivers don't work at first. How did you fix that problem?

  • Links to the guide have been updated.

  • I will so download that pdf guide and try this on my Pavilion dv5 1115eo. !
