hey guys i need help installing leopard on my pc. here are my specs:

intel pentium 4 2.8ghz
1gb ram
2 maxtor 500gb sata's
1 western digital 150gb w/3 partitions (dunno why :p)
nvidia 7300gt

i tried using all known osx86 versions of leopard like kalyway, iatkos, ideneb, leo4all, jas, but none of them work. I NEED HELP PRONTO.

o yea on iatkos i got it installed but it won't boot completely. meaning after the restart i got the apple logo and the circle thing but after like a minute or two it froze. and nothing else happened after that. gimme some help here, please! i want to run leopard on my pc!!!

o yea and will the logitech quickcam chat work in leo? just wondering.

Are you using SATA Drives? can you tell us the error using -v in darwin?

o the 150gb is a pata and i'm installing leo on it.

and it say in kalyway: SAM Multimedia READ OR WRITE ERROR
...or something along the lines there.

hmm your better tell us full specs? Motherboard, chipsets, etc

keep writing - i need help still.:hack:

Ok check it out this info:

Errors during install

"SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed"
"com.apple.system.fs ErrNo 5"

I was having a simliar issue with my DVD-RW drive while trying to install OSX (iDeneb 1.3), as it happens it was a problem with how I had physically installed the drive, the main thing that seemed to fix the issue was that I replaced the IDE cable which was 40 wire with an 80 wire one (actually recommended for my Pioneer DVR-110D). I also set the drive as primary master these seemed to fix my issues. I know that my post might seem out of place but it occurs to me that this could also help with issues that are happening post install.

Also, just a note that my previous configuration had been working flawlessly under my Win XP install for countless years, it was only when I attempted my OSX install that I realised that my drive might work better with the 80 wire IDE cable.

May sure you have your HDD as Master and your DVD Drive as Slave, not with cable select, with the jumper... and try again

Another thing try to burn your ISO again or download another Distro and Burn it in low speed like 4x or less

Good Luck
