Good luck. xD wish I had the system resources to do that, I've always wanted a Mac without the outrageous price tag.

Currently doing some mods for a racing game of mine (a Bugatti Veyron with a top speed of 300 miles per hour )

There are so many options to go with for installing OSX, it's confusing as hell. I've chosen Empire EFi + Snow Leopard Install Disc. If anyone has any information or tips, please PM me or post back. This is my laptop: Toshiba Satellite A505-S6017 Laptop

I don't know if this is any good.

[How To] Dual Booting Snow Leopard and Windows 7

 

[Product FRED]

Thanks, but I already have a Mac-formated partition using Paragon. My only worry is compatibility. The new Macs have Core i5s and Intel GMA HDs, so I'm not THAT worried. As long as I have Windows 7 on here, I'll be fine. Besides, I can just format the hard drive and restore my backup.

I'm sitting here having just cleaned a load of windows and glanced through the Forum as you do! I thought it about time that I began to get a bit more modern! Went to the Gaming Forum (which is like a different planet to me) and thought I don't understand a word of this but then saw "gta 4 problem". I thought Ah! Ha! I can translate this one. Here's a member with 4 different problems! My translation "I have got four problem(s)" I might be able to help on at least one of them. Then I Googled GTA 4
I going back to the cave for luncheon now!

I've gotten back to walking once again.. I've been lazy for awhile.. the weather has been perfect.. I'll go walk again in a few minutes. I can usually walk a mile in 12 minutes ot 15 at most....however that has slipped to more time now.. I must get back faster..lol

This time last year I couldn't walk 50 yards without half a dozen pain killers and then it was agony. Now due to a very talented surgeon I can walk as well as most 72 year olds with a little discomfort sometimes but I don't use the word pain any more. Life is certainly very good. But don't rush "My Lady" take it gently. So if it takes you 20 minutes so long as you can walk, does it really matter. Main thing is keep smiling

Mitchell. hi.. I'm sooo glad you can walk without pain again.. peopel who have never had real pain.. have no idea .. what's it's like.. I'm not going to push myself too hard... I'll get as much of it back as possible.. .. enough to make the old heart pump as hard as is needed..for me

Today I'm a bit worried about a packet i sent to USA on Tuesday. It should be express, meaning air transport, but tracking the shipment shows it's been "in transportation to destination country" over 48 hours now, from 10:20 AM Wednesday (it's 10:40 AM Friday now here).

I didn't know DHL uses "Charles Lindbergh Air Cargo" and its original planes to their overseas shipments...

WAS going to go out on the lake this morning, but it's raining, it's about 45 degrees, and there's 10-25mph winds...........so much for that.
Guess i'll just be hanging out inside where it's dry.

Today I'm trying to figure out how to solve the "Still waiting for root device" error when installing OS X on my laptop. Apparently it means it's not seeing my hard drive. I didn't have time to check whether I have an IDE or SATA drive, but I think it's SATA. Also, I tried fiddling around with AHCI in the BIOS, but for whatever reason, I couldn't get the OS X disc to bootwhen I turned it off (Kalyway 10.5.2 Leopard). I've tried everything I can think of and nothing works. More testing when I get home.

Try making sure you are using the correct chipset kext during installation. I personally suggest using iDeneb v1.4 or 1.5 (not 1.6).

Alright, I'll give it a shot. I mean, I can run Snow Leopard because my laptop has a Core i5 and Intel GMA HD like the Macbooks, but I'm aiming for compatibility.

Oh, I see. You should try running a Vanilla installation then.

Try finding yourself an untouched copy of Snow Leopard, put it on USB (if possible) or DVD+DL.

Then get a copy of Empire EFI, burn that to a CD/DVD. Boot Empire first, put the USB or DVD+DL of Snow Leopard in. Wait 20 seconds (skip if its USB). Press F5 and select the DVD/USB on the screen.

That should get you to be able to boot the installer for Snow Leopard (without all the cracks). When installing it, make sure you customize the install so it only installs the essentials (uncheck everything like printer stuff, language packs, Rosetta is fine.)

I have dmg which I can burn with TransMac, but it's about 6.5GB, so I'd need to find an actual disc. I have a copy of Empire EFI for Intel GMA HD chipsets, but yeah, I'd need an actual Snow Leopard disc. So I guess I'll have to go with iDeneb.
