trying to install OSX leopard, from partion, need help


Recommended Posts

ok, so my friend and i are trying to install osx on a partion of his c drive, which has windows on it. and we cant figure out how to boot to osx once it is installed, is there a special button we have to hold to select at the boot sequence?

I thought you can talk about it on Neowin now?

By that I mean running OSX on non-native hardware -

I've heard more than one person say, "it's OK now." The thing is, I don't really know and do not want another warning for talking about OS ::no carrier::

In any case, you're looking for a DUAL BOOT solution, whether it be *unix, linux, etc ... Acronis OS Selector will do the trick, or if you want something more in depth, GRUB.

Don't install another OS on the same partition as Windows, it needs its own, at least 10gb, and you should format it to the native file system before installing.

I think that's a pretty general bit of info, nothing risque there?

it is installed on is installed on a partion that doesn't have windows on it. if windows was C:, this would be E:. would the formatting of the drive need to be specific, cause i think it is formatted FAT 32.

its easier to install it to a different HDD but it is possible to install it on the same drive you just need something like grub to point where to boot from.

google some guides im sure there are heaps.

this is also good to look at.

you will find a lot of information at the x86 forums. if you bought osx yourself and have a dvd of the installation, then it won't work on windows anyways, not sure how you got it installed. you need to patch it and recompile the image with windows drivers and other things to make it install right.

wiki.osx86project.org is the place to find more information on that.

are you kidding me? I BOUGHT IT, how is this illegal? and why the hell are you so self righteous? let me guess you are some mac fanboy? or some motherf**ing prick that works for apple trolling the forums looking for someone like me trying to get some damn help, trying to get some **** done in my life and you are here ****ing it all up. thanks.

ps. **** you.

We're just follow neowin rules, Too bad! Your swear isn't good for your brain. Go back to school and learn how to be nice to talk about it.

Now....Pi, sorry i cant say that. However you know what im gonna say.

ps: im still laugh at your face.

if you actually READ the agreement in the box, you will see you need Mac Hardware to isntall it, OSX is not like windows, it is not a Common Generic PC Compatible OS, it is a proprietary OS like PalmOS.

you cannot isntall it because you do not have the compatible system requirements ( AKA a MAC )

and as a direct response, it doesn't matter if you were an idiot and bought it, and caling people a Fanboy just shows that you are to stupid to even come up with a decent rebuttal, and what exactially are you trying to get done in your life that you need to install OSX on a PC, because you havent yet figured out how to use google, im shure you havent gotten the inkling that everything on the MAC has a direct equivalent on the PC.

lol i hope your joking, you actually can get help here for this now.

When the hell did they change their opinions on that here? I thought this place walked on eggshells about anything even remotely related to anything illegal? :blink:

they changed their stance when they got on Psystars side, they are using the same EULA lawsuit back in the Pre Windows days i think that says cant Tie Software to Hardware.

way i see it, is its Apple's OS, they can do what they want with it, if they want to Tie their OS to their hardware they can

Blackberry does it and even requires their own Server software, Palm does it with PalmOS. Only reason Apple is getting flac is because people are desperate for alternatives due to Vista ( still have no idea why people hate vista, its a good OS).

If you're using Vista - use EasyBCD to create the bootloader.

There are plenty of guides for dual booting out there though, they're all pretty easy to follow, shouldn't be too much trouble.

Thanks! I haven't even heard of this, I was doing it manually :)

Thread Cleaned

Before several people go trolling the "rules" again, please read this thread: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=639781. Installing OSX on non-Apple hardware is indeed a breach of the EULA, however, policing the EULA is a civil matter, not a legal one, therefore it is not illegal to install OSX on non-Apple hardware.

Dont bait him into saying that hes not using the legitimate OSX DVD, you and i both know what he is insinuating.

Agreed. This "Install from partition" obviously means "downloaded", not "bought the boxed set, but wanted to rip it to my hard drive for giggles".

And his post

shows a lack of maturity and self-control.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
