Easy installation on RAID targets with manual bootloader installers and packages.
You can make downgrade installs (from upcoming 10.5.8 system or newer on Intel/AMD) by using iATKOS v7 DVD if the new upcoming update harms your running OS X system. Upgrade/Refresh is highly successful on previous iATKOS installs and will mostly work for other installations too, read the readme for the process. You can make Clean, Upgrade (from previous versions of OS X on Intel/AMD), Refresh (renew your existing 10.5.7 installation) and driver-only installs using iATKOS v7 DVD. You can update your running system using software updater just like real Macs on most PC hardware (Intel/AMD). Full retail main system like boot132 installation. This OSX86 installation DVD release supports both GPT and MBR partitioned harddrives.
The oscar goes to Apple and OSX86 community. Use quality media/burner and burn slowly. Do this MD5 check just before mounting or doing anything with the iso image! Otherwise you may have a faulty DVD image. Make sure that the md5 checksum of your iATKOS iso image matches the one in md5.rtf file.
This DVD includes Apple's Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7 (9J61) installation for Intel and AMD CPUs, some basic drivers and x86 patches. So, do not try to boot it on Apple Hardware! This DVD is designed for Non-Apple x86 computers (PC). go to my forum or search it on internet if you want to get it. So, just to let everyone know, iATKOS v7 is released. Secondly i never post any links here, so the guy that posted a link about this release is nothing to do with me, i even warned him to change the topic so he did not and i created a new one without any links of course. gonna try the macdrive method and see what happens.To operators: first of all i cannot get why this topic is deleted without pm'ing to me. Now, after I select all the stuff in the customize section, when it starts installig it gets stuck at about 10 or 15 % of the bar then it says "Failed to install, The installer couldn't verify the contents of 10.5.7 Intel" or something like that. Just leave it in and boot from it at startup. Then go to boot from it.Īfter you've copied the files, don't look inside the USB, because it will only show the Windows Files or Mac Files. Make sure you have MacDrive as I said, and right click the Mounted ISO/DVD and click Show Mac Files, copy ALL of them, then go back and right click on the Mounted CD/DVD/USB/ISO and click Show Windows Files and copy them also. Yeah, because you are using Windows, all the Files will show up. You know when you burn a DVD/CD and it has the UDF Format? So it reads on any system? That's the one, and if You format it to that you'll probably increase your chances of it booting.
just copying all files from the mounted iso also copies the boot sector and all the darwin data and that stuff? and what's AHCI?ĪHCI is the setting that Mac OS X uses to Boot/Install. weird because it was the same thing I tried all day.ītw what's the Universal ISO/Bootable DVD format? I never heard of that.Īnd i'll keep in mind the MacDrive and VirtualCloneDrive alternative, just in case something happens to my usb. I don't know how but I tried a lot of times, formatting the usb to NTFS then using the ddmac and, somohow, after attempt number n it just booted. Make sure your BIOS is configured for AHCI.
As an alternative you can always Install MacDrive and VirtualCloneDrive and mount the Image and copy all files manually including the Windows Files (right click and choose Show Windows/Mac Files once MacDrive is installed and copy BOTH lots to the same drive) and then boot from it. Don't format the USB Drive as HFS+, keep it as the default Universal ISO/Bootable DVD Format (ISO.
