drklevl (2010-01-09)

thank you !!!!

AronMosh7 (2010-01-09)

Thank you so much even though i am not a big mac fan, i will try this on virtual pc on windows 7 to see how it goes

 cclloyd (2010-01-09)

It will not work on a virtual environment unless you run it from a mac, or from osx on your PC.

AronMosh7 (2010-01-09)

oh, that sucks

zaibazu (2010-01-09)

So is this release only for use with a USB stick or can it somehow be put on a DVD ?

 cclloyd (2010-01-09)

You can use it on a DVD if it has the capacity (at least 6.5 GB)

a.skiller (2010-01-09)

can i use an external hardisk to install it

meroonberet (2010-01-09)

nobody seed

 cclloyd (2010-01-09)

@askiller
You just have to partition it to 32 GB or less, and format it to fat32.
@walictwo
Yes your specs seem capable. Although i am unsure if they will be fully functional like i was on one computer. Go to OSx86 to see a full list of fully compatible software.

Pfyber (2010-01-10)

HI. Will it work if I burn it on 2 layer DVD?

spyserve (2010-01-10)

Hi cclloyd, you've said this iso is not bootable under vmware, but how could it be under usual way ? I mean vmware simule the same boot process as a real machine ... its strange !
And what is the difference with the release : "Mac Os X Snow Leopard Universal 10.6 v3.5"
Because this release dont work for me and im afraid it will the same with your release ...
Boot --> Darwin x86 "Press any key to boot ..." --> then reboot and so on (in loop) ....

 cclloyd (2010-01-10)

That happened to me when coding. Thats why if it doesnt work after installing, use the boot flags
amd_kernel -v -x32
no matter what system specs you have it should boot up.
It cant be used under VMWare because when you boot up, it uses areas of your proccessor that are unaccessable and unrecognizable by windows. You can do it though once you use it from a mac.
And yes you can burn it to a 2 layer DVD as long as it is on 1 side (not double sided DVD) UNLESS you have a dual sided DVD drive where it can read the other side without having to flip it.

Pfyber (2010-01-10)

Ok thanks... do I have to use rebel EFI or something.. or just regular boot?

spyserve (2010-01-10)

Ok thanks, iam burning it, i have created a new partition (ntfs) ... and now what iam supposed to do ? I reboot on the dvd, and after how can i convert my partition into HFS+ ? Because you cant have disk utility without the USB or is it include in the DVD ?
THks

spyserve (2010-01-10)

I have boot on the DVD and i got this message : Operating System not found ... :(((

spyserve (2010-01-10)

I guess this version (uniFlash) is optimised to boot on a usb flash disk only and not from a dvd ...
Anyone can tell if that work with usb key ?

 cclloyd (2010-01-10)

I guess thats why. When you format your USB with the files inside this, it auto formats to HFSJ. If you could do that with a CD, then it would work, in theory.
And one last thing, make sure you choose device mode on USB IT when putting this on your USB.

findermix (2010-01-11)

Tip:
There are so many problems it is better to install Windows 7 or better to buy a Mac

spyserve (2010-01-11)

Ok i'll try out this when i will have an usb stick ...
For the amd_kernel -v -x32 boot flag, it dont work and with the voodoo too ...
I see brievly a white screen and then it reboot ... again and again ...
For info, i got a labtop with Windows 7 64 bits / Core i7 72O ... does it could be problematic ?

spyserve (2010-01-11)

now i can boot on the usb stick, but for every boot flag i try (without,amd_kernel,voodoo) it dont work !!! A few lines appear on the screen very quickly and then my computer reboot ... no OS Install Screen !
Is there any tips or solutions to resolve this problem ?
PS/ For info, USBit was dont working for me, i do this with WinImage (http://www.winimage.com/download.htm) ...

 cclloyd (2010-01-11)

it probobly didnt work because you didnt restore in device mode.

maffiakillen (2010-01-11)

Sorry TPB but if have to help the community. While the site don't work, all leave a temporary link here so you can download. There are not just one seeder, there are more but the site have difficulties. Till then can back again here

spyserve (2010-01-11)

USBit dont work for me, i got an error message when i select the file (code 32) and i cant change the mode (its volume) the field is disabled ...
this is the first time i have so many problems to install an OS, ALL methods i've finded on the web dont work for me and they all conduct me on the same problem : rebooting after the darwin bootloader ... (with USB / DVD or even VMware method ) ... This is an hardware problem for me but i cant find it ...

spyserve (2010-01-11)

After reformating my usb stick and run USBit with administrator rights, i will able to mount the image in "Device Mode".
I reboot just after and i've still the same problem :( !
I have the last lines whose appear on my screen before the reboot :
"efi_inject_get_devprop_string NULL trying string data
Loaded HFS+ file : [Extra/smbios.plist)
Patched DMI Table.
No DSDT replacement found. Leaving ACPI data as is
Starting Darwin x86"
... any ideas ?

RobertWHurst (2010-01-11)

Awesome! Thank you. your instructions are great. I was trying to find out how to install from windows without OS X before hand. You are the only one that has provided that info thanks again.

eskimoz (2010-01-12)

Istallion freezes to "AppleDecrypt: Starting..." just after darwin load, i dont even see apple installion logo or installer.. any ideas? last version did same to me, i have msi P31-neo and intel E2xxx processor with 8800gts (320mb)

 cclloyd (2010-01-12)

DibYaTPB-
No because it is meant for PC aka Windows.
Eskimoz-
That means that your BIOS cant handle Mac OS X.

eskimoz (2010-01-12)

Now i tried to instal this to msi P35 neo-f motherboard and only way i can get installer to start is by setting "cpus=1" without that it reboots.. but, when i get to installer and tried to format partition yms, installer didnt find my harddrive..=// it found only my memory stick, any ways to get installer to find my motherboard? i have some kind of modded bios for mac!

maffiakillen (2010-01-12)

hey cclloyd! Let me thank you first of all.
During the installation it never ask to to build an admin account and now I trying to install customized drivers for my pc acer 8930g powerfull laptop but I can't get it working. Besides when I try to update anything it is asking me for administrator's name and password and it never asked me at all during installation. I am not quit satisfied with the screen resolution since I have full HD. Is it possible to install Nvidia Cuda. Gogglet a lot. With Linux it was much easier. Just fill in with new kerner. I read somewhere if it was possible to replace the kerner darwin with linux 2.6 lol I know here isn't the place for forums but I need the admin password so I could go throw the rest with googles help. Thanks again cclloyd!

maffiakillen (2010-01-12)

cclloyd. I have intel core 2 duo processor. And intel chipset. And intel wireless (it don't help anyway unless it is airport) A lot of work to get that inte wifi 5100 abgn to work. To the subject. Should I try you earlier torrent or not? Or was it enough when I customized this one?

rocketero (2010-01-12)

I'm using Windows 7 32bit to download this torrent, and after downloaded it, I check the MD5 checksum and all was OK.
But I am trying to use PowerISO and UltraISO apps to burn the dvd, but once I try to point to the .IMG file PowerISO and UltraISO says that is the wrong format or is not an Image File.
Any help here is appreciated.

killerxtinct (2010-01-12)

AnotherBoy (2010-01-12)

I did a successful installation of the following machines:
Asus P5LD2
Intel 945P/Intel ICH7R
Intel C2D E4400 2.0GHz
A-DATA 2 x 1GB RAM DDR2
SEAGATE 300 GB HDD
WD 500 GB HDD
Lacie 500 GB HDD
Galaxy 7300GT 256 MB DDR3
Realtek ALC882
Marvell 88E8053 PCI-E Gb LAN controller
LG CD-DVD/RW
LG 42LG5000 1920x1080, 60Hz
Everything works fine except:
ALC882 (VoodooHDA) - only 2 channels work, but I continue to seek a solution for 5.1
Galaxy 7300 GT (Natit, NVInject, NVEnabler) - work fine (native resolution), but without OpenCL/QE/CI, but I continue to seek a solution.
If anyone knows anything about it, thanks in advance for shared information.
Good luck to all!!!

AnotherBoy (2010-01-12)

youwei3,
check your correct BIOS settings to make success installation. You can find info about your MB and BIOS at google.com

spyserve (2010-01-13)

@eskimoz Check your BIOS setting (ACHI enabled for your HDD) ... remember IDE dont work, only SATA ...
@others : this release dont work with a burned DVD, its only with a usb stick ... but after that your PC need to match with hardware requirements (kernel & DSDT in particular) of MAC OS X and that's not a piece of cake ! Believe me !

aagaliarept (2010-01-13)

@cclloyd
When you say this is x32 compatible, do you mean it can run on a 32 bit processor or that it can run in 32 bit mode on a 64 bit processor?
@spyserve
You state this only works on sata. I originally tried an older version of OS X on an AMD laptop with a sata drive and had trouble since the harddrive was never detected by OS X. From what I had read online it seems there were few if any drivers for the sata drives and it was recommended to stick with IDE. I am now trying this on a different laptop with IDE drive but I haven't tried this version yet. Can this version only be used on sata drives? Is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance.

 cclloyd (2010-01-13)

@aagaliarept
It can run on a x32 bit proccessor as long as you use the boot flag -x32

maffiakillen (2010-01-13)

cclloyd! cccllooyd!
Do you know the admin pass, or it is not supposed to install new software, updates, and driver??
Do you know the admin password or should I re-install and see if I missed somethin during the installation? Don't think so, need your reply about that, the admin user name and pass? Thankyou

aagaliarept (2010-01-13)

@cclloyd
Are there any restrictions on using a sata or an IDE drive with this OS X?

biatchslapper (2010-01-13)

There's no way disk utilities to find my new created partition. I shrinked C: and now i have 20gb new partition, it's active, but in mac os installation trough the usb stick, disk utilities can't find the partition, can't find anything than the usb stick. What should i do? My partition is NTFS, does this matters?

biatchslapper (2010-01-14)

Ok i installed it but how to fix sound and video and mac os x can't detect my internet connection.

 cclloyd (2010-01-14)

As i said, it will install, but might not be fully functional. If you want you need to search for a driver for 10.6.2 which are very limited. Most of them are on OSx86 dot com

Azure.Sky (2010-01-14)

I booted it up and typed in -v but...
I got stuck at, "Startup in nanoseconds: random large #"

night.afg (2010-01-14)

What modifications did you do from the original snow leopard installer? thanks

maffiakillen (2010-01-14)

Every windows guys... if you want to see your volume och make volume type "diskmgmt.msc" in run commantask,

maffiakillen (2010-01-14)

This will work with desktops but not so well with laptops.... unfortunaly... you can install and use but not get all the feature... Here is a link for wich motherboard it will work, grapihic card and sound, and ethernet, and wirelss for this patch

Anathemae (2010-01-15)

When I try to boot the USB it runs for a few lines and then? halts, the last few lines are something like Extension "com.apple.driver.ACPI_SMC_Pla tformPlugin" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style. I've tried booting with -x -v, -v -f -x, -v -f -s, cpus=1 -x -v, cpus=1 -v -f -x, but it still halts at the same point. I've looked everywhere for a solution but I cannot find one.

ok i got question i was not able to install ur pervious version of snow leopard. it not that my pc dont support mac, i am running mac os x.5.8 but it takes like 6 mins to open. so can i install this one sucessfully?

jinzou (2010-01-17)

@biatchslapper : i am having the same problem you were having, where the disk utility can only see my usb flash drive. How did you fix this???

aman369 (2010-01-18)

pleaseeee seed!

 cclloyd (2010-01-19)

ATTN: If the installation cant see you partition or drive, on windows, create a simple partition, and DO NOT FORMAT IT, but add a drive letter to it. Then it should see it. And if you install Mac Drive 8 (on TPB) you can even browse your mac partition from your windows.

spyserve (2010-01-20)

I've finded a solution (which works for every hardware config!) using a VMWare image of the Mac OSX SL 10.6.2 installed.
Every boot problems/hardware bugs are avoided with that method ! But this solution is reserved if you cant run Mac OSX from classics hackintosh methods ! Be aware !
If you've tested unsuccessfully all previous methods (such as this one) check here :

Everything is explained ! That the only one which works for me !

Andreasnordbo (2010-01-20)

spideypunk (2010-01-21)

can anyone please tell me if this will work with these specs
MEDION® AKOYA® E1311
1.5GHz AMD Sempron 210U, M690E chipset and ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 graphics. Other specs include 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Bluetooth, 1.3MP webcam, Wi-Fi (draft-N), HDMI out and a 2200mAh battery.
I want to buy a laptop to run this so my choice is vital.
thanks so much!

the_house123 (2010-01-21)

Cclloyd, thanks for uploading this!!!
However Iv got a problem.
Iv got windows 7 installed on one HD no problem and im trying to install Snow leopard to the other HD.
however once the installer starts, my keyboard and mouse stop working completely (connected by usb and I have no ports for the old style keyboard/mouse) and I cannot complete the install (or even start it for that matter).
Please advise :)

soapdude (2010-01-23)

Can't get a good download rate??? seed? averaging: 55 Kb/s

TimoWorld (2010-01-23)

I restored the image succesfully with USB it.
When I try to load the installer, it just hangs on the second screen with all the text (the one with the smaller font). I tried almost every possibly combination of the startup flags. I'm using a 64-bit AMD processor. voodoo -v should work for me, right? I also tried putting -x32 behind it. It doesn't work?
I'd love it if somebody could help me.

plopbellie96 (2010-01-23)

will this work if you burn it to a cd. its not working when i use usbit for my 8gb flsah drive

plopbellie96 (2010-01-23)

nevermind it was because i had that cruzer partition still on my flash drive it was messing it up

plopbellie96 (2010-01-23)

nevermind again srry for all the comments. i use usb it on windows to burn the image to my flash drive. then when i go to boot from it (i select f12 then select usb drive) it gives me a flashing line in the corner like im waiting to input text ive left it there for a day and nothing please help!

 cclloyd (2010-01-24)

Then your flash drive probobly didnt format correctly. Format it to NTFS (not quick format), then make sure you use USBit to restore the image IN DEVICE MODE!

plopbellie96 (2010-01-24)

ok tahnaks i was formatting it as fat32 because that all mac computers recognize but then i was thinking im using this on a pc lol

plopbellie96 (2010-01-24)

another problem i cant put it in disk mode because it is grayed out on usbit

arshiay (2010-01-24)

hi i download and restor to usb but when i boot in usb it stay in boot0: done and repet it again and again??

OMG Everything Thing is working fine after downloading a couple kexts. Screen Resolution is at 1400x900 ( ithink thats what it is), all usb's working, onboard wireless internet card working. a Dell Xps M1530 is made for this! Now i have a macbook pro. If you have this laptop label your specs and i may be able to help you with your kexts after you install this great software by cclloyd!

Ridicu (2010-01-25)

Could someone PLEASE tell me if this works on Dual layer DVD or not. Yes or No, once and for all.

unchi (2010-01-25)

It did not work with dual layer DVD. People told that to us already also.

0zten (2010-01-26)

Hi. When i try the boot flags it says "Can´t find mach_kernel"
Do you know why?
I can´t find my motherboard in the list of compatible hardware. Is that why?
Its a Asus P5GD2-X.
Is the list really complete?
I couldnt find it until version 4.9

tmhle241 (2010-01-26)

how about 'BOOTMGR is missing/Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart' sir. I have properly format it in NTFS (no quick format). then Press 'Restore' button in USB IMAGE TOOL, mount and press OK, after abt half of hour, it's done. Make primary partition in window and make it active. Restart. Choose boot from usb in bios, then it say 'BOOTMGR is missing/Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart', i don't know what i did wrong. And what is "in device mode" ccloyd? could you help me pleasezzzzzzzzz :(

green98ls (2010-01-26)

are you formatting this in windows? I tried to format my usb drive NTFS and windows wont let me, it fails at the end. I tried in Linux with gparted but NTFS isn't selectable.
any suggestions?

PirateSabin (2010-01-26)

I can get the installer to load successfully if I use the boot command "voodoo -v -x32", but when I go into Disk Utility to format my disk to HFS+, then only disk I see is the USB flash drive that is running the installer.
I have three IDE hard drives in this box. The first is the primary system (Windows XP) drive formatted as NTFS. The second is unformatted but has a set drive letter (as the comments suggested was necessary) and is set as a primary drive and active. The first is formatted NTFS (though I also tried FAT32) and is set as a logical drive, but it is also hosted via a separate BIOS card.
What do I need to do in order to detect any of these disks (particularly the second one)? Please help! :)

red-liner (2010-01-27)

having the same problems as PirateSabin, loads into installation screen fine but no hard drives are recognized just the usb stick. any solutions?

red-liner (2010-01-27)

whoops forgot to say i dont need to use any boot commands as it loads fine without any of that.

roykuhhhh (2010-01-27)

Is this version multilangual?
I not, is it possible to download other languages?
Thnx.. Roy

red-liner (2010-01-27)

yes it is, options to select language before install

PirateSabin (2010-01-27)

To clarify, the drive I mentioned as a logical drive on a separate BIOS card is my THIRD drive, not first.

bmnott (2010-01-27)

How to install as only OS?

anon1832 (2010-01-27)

Same problem as PirateSabin and red-liner:
I have one SATA drive with 3 primary partitions and then logicals, 1st is /boot, 2nd is ubuntu, 3rd is win 7, and I was hoping to either install OSX in one of the logical partitions or, just replace win 7. Nothing shows up in the "select destination" window or the Disk Utility, only the USB key shows up.

roykuhhhh (2010-01-27)

Hello,
I have installed this without problems, but after the install he shows me I have no keyboard connected to my computer, but during the install I have used the same keyboard and it worked.
Please Help!
Thnx Roy..

cowspoo (2010-01-28)

I'm worried about setting the new partition to ACTIVE. If it doesn't boot from my usb, I won't be able to get back into windows... Yet, if i just restart and boot from usb it doesn't work and just boots to windows. If i set the new partition to ACTIVE will i be able to login again?

ztr337 (2010-01-28)

@
PLEASE HELP!! I restored this image using usbit onto my 16g cruzer flashdrive under device mode after fully formatting it into NTFS. My computer will not recognize it as bootable at startyp. I tried emulating it as a cdrom, hard disk, and fdd and still no luck.
specs:
amd athlon II 6000+
3gb ddr2
asus m4n78 pro mobo

PirateSabin (2010-01-28)

ztr337:
Might want to make sure your BIOS is up to date. Try the tool "BIOS Agent Plus" from Phoenix.

cowspoo (2010-01-28)

@ztr,
You must uninstall u3 off your cruzer micro usb. Google " uninstall u3" download the program, then reformat the usb drive NTFS ( not quick format) then RESTORE the image.
@everyone else,
IN the disk utiltiy, i only see my USB. I don't see the partition. I've tried it with unallocated and with an assigned drive letter.

t3fa (2010-01-28)

@cowspoo
me too :(
it doesn't seem to recognize S-ATA HDD
and if i plug in a P-ATA the installation doesn't even load it
couldn't find a solution for this problem yet :(
btw i got an asus p5q
@ everyone else
if you get to startup with the flash disk
but got stuck at the black screen with white writings (try to update your bios with another one osx ready ) google is ur friend

cowspoo (2010-01-28)

@t3fa, i couldn't figure it out. Right now i'm working on another approach. im trying to setup my usb to work with Kalyway 10.5.2. It's optimized for dvd, but i don't have any. I'll let you know how the installation goes

roykuhhhh (2010-01-28)

PLEASE HELP!:
I've installed it without problems, but when I tried to use EASYBCD, it says that it cant find a vista boot file. But I've installed windows 7, no vista. And now its impossosible tot make the dual-boot. When I now startup the PC it shows me the apple icon and a loading sign but thats all. Even after a hour nothing happened. To go inside the Mac OSX I have to boot my USB and then reinstall Snow Leopard.
PLEASE HELP!
Thnx...Roy

t3fa (2010-01-28)

hmm i read a guide made by guy named IanT (same guy who made the 132 mars boot disk)
anyway he says i need a ATA-kext so that the installer detect ATA drives
the kext is included in the 132mars boot disk
but i will try again tomorrow coz i'm fed up with searching & reading searching & reading :P

cowspoo (2010-01-28)

@t3fa, go to your bios and switch everything that says IDE to ACHI, it will find it then, however you wont be able to boot back into windows. so when youre ready to go back to windows go to your bios and find the Load optimized defaults, press enter so everything is set back to IDE. It will see your HDD's. dont give up, i need some help in the next step! i havent made it yet. I'm nervous about the bootsector part now

t3fa (2010-01-28)

@cowspoo
lol i was just going to tell you that :D :D
tried to do so and it worked :)

have a look @ this

cowspoo (2010-01-28)

t3fa, have you installed it yet? I cant figure out how to format my drive.
If i go to Erase, then select the volume format of "mac os extended ( jounalized)" will it do the entire disk or just that partition

t3fa (2010-01-29)

it depends on what u chooose from that list on the left if you clicked on a partiotion it will erase only that partiotion
anyway i can't format it it erases the data on the partition without formating it
if i click on the hdd name a new tab appear (partition) there are couple of new options to format but they are grayed out :(
i'm now searching for a software to format the partition from windows :)
will tell you if i managed to format it

cowspoo (2010-01-29)

Possibly, hopefully, my last step! In easybcd, i added the entry for the mac but it put the NST folder on my C drive, when my mac installation is on another HD. I cant transfer the files, windows wont let me. What's a solution?

green98ls (2010-01-29)

I was able to get this loaded on a Studio XPS w/ C2D.
Format the USB drive NTFS, if it keeps failing, try a different usb drive. then restore the IMG with the usbit program included.
Make a partition from windows and mark it as active.
reboot from the usb drive

cowspoo (2010-01-29)

Ive installed it and finally made it boot. Now stuck at a screen that says hold the power button to restart. -x32 -v only brings up a ton of code and freezes it seems. What's next

vuonganhquyen (2010-01-30)

Hello cclloyd!
My pc specs are
Dell inspiron 1440
Window 7 Ultimate
IntelPentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4400 @ 2.20GHz, 2194 MHz (Instruction Set: x86, x86-64, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3)
2GB RAM
320GB HDD
Adapter card: Mobile Intel(R) GMA 4500MHD (788MB)

Can I install this version on my PC and dual-boot with Windows 7? Do you have any better version of Mac OS X can be installed on my PC? Thanks!

cowspoo (2010-01-30)

@ everyone, If you have a kernel panic ( where it says you must restart your computer. hold the power button) I HAVE A SOLUTION!!
press the space bar when it?s asking you to press any key?
then type : -v -s
it?ll scroll a bunch of stuff finally you?ll get to a prompt type this:
/sbin/fsck -fy (this checks your HD for fragmentation and some other stuff)
once it?s done type:
/sbin/mount -uw / (don?t forget the -uw I often forget it ;) )
now it?ll mount your system?s volume, so then type:
cd /System/Library/Extensions (hit enter)
rm -rf AppleIntelGMA950.kext (hit enter)
cd .. (go up a directory, hit enter)
rm -rf Extensions.mkext (hit enter)
exit (hit enter)
I booted up great! In return, can someone lead me to where i can find drivers? I need audio, wireless, and graphics

t3fa (2010-01-30)

have you looked into insanelymacDOTcom/forum/ ??
they got a sub forum about drivers there
here too

picketf (2010-01-31)

Usbit doesn't seem to work on USB IDE controllers. I bought a 12gb 2,5 HD for 1.- at ebay to try this out and attached the HD to my USB controller thingy formatted and tested it with HD tools and it's in perfect condition.
When I launch Usbit it doesn't show it. I then tried to use SelfImage but Acronis Disk Director tells me it is RAW (no NTFS no HPFS) and when I set to boot from it in the bios many "ot0: done" lines appear and stays that way.
Any other program recommended to transfer the IMG to the HD????

red-liner (2010-01-31)

still no solution to the undetected hard drives? im using a 1tb sata and a small 20gb sata drive both unable to be detected only the usb memory stick is being detected.

cool_jags (2010-02-01)

Hello Somebody help me pls !!!

d0ce (2010-02-01)

I got through the whole first part of the install, but when I try to boot back into it for setup, it comes up with a problem about a missing "com.jmicron.JMicronATA" kext. Im using Ramapge Formula (X48/ICH9R) and a Core2Quad 9450. If someone could point me in the right direction.

vuonganhquyen (2010-02-01)

Has anyone successfully installed this version yet?

When I boot from USB, it begins to load and then reboot. Any idea on how to deal with it ?

ashotn (2010-02-02)

Working like a charm!!! Thank you!!! :)
DashBlack, try to boot with -x -x32 params, it will start loading and when freezed again, try to boot with -v -x32. It looks like there are some kexts making problems.

ashotn (2010-02-02)

also try with -f param, it will force kext to reload

PirateSabin (2010-02-03)

Mine usually stops on that but then eventually loads like 5-10 minutes later.

jcdvsrbld (2010-02-03)

im having trouble with this. i have a hfs+ partition, and the image is restored to my usb drive. when i try to boot, i get only a blinking cursor. not really sure what the problem is...

ashotn (2010-02-03)

for them who have "waiting for root....", edit the com.apple.Boot.plist and add "-x32 -f" params under kernel flags...
I have installed this 2nd time on another computer, all working!!!! manualy edited DSDT.aml,... and now have sound, and no cmos reset!!!! drop an email to [email protected] with questions!

ashotn (2010-02-03)

I have just updated the system!!!!! There was an official security update... all done without problems, system restarts and working excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jcdvsrbld (2010-02-03)

nvm, seems i wasnt using "device mode." The OS installed without any issues; however, it doesnt boot past the apple loading screen, any ideas why this is?

jcdvsrbld (2010-02-03)

finally got it working, but there arent any kernel extensions for my hardware yet =\

aaron1989 (2010-02-04)

Firstly, I find that the AMD / INTEL by Hazard version has worked best so far if anybody wants to download it and burn it to dvd and requires any help from their just email or post comment - [email protected] and i will help you as have that version currently working on my AM2 Nvidia 8500 version 10.6.0 (currently trying to get the 10.6.2 version working.
Secondly, as for this version, I have had this problem since beginning where none but your flash drive is being recognised when getting to the installation part of things. Now the only thing i've gotten to work so far (quite long winded considering...) requires two hard drives / partitions and a separate USB drive that you can use 8gb minimum.
I found that when trying to install this version USB drives are the only thing that have been detected, so what i did was installed this version onto the usb drive, then on another hard drive, installed another version of leopard, then after booting into the other version, used the disk utility (as it sees all the hard drives then) to restore the usb hard drive of this version to the second partition / hard drive that has no operating system, allowing you to then boot off the hard drive that has this version installed.
Again i'd suggest you not bother unless there is an easier method then this, and simply install the AMD / INTEL version by hazard.
Sorry about the essay and for newbies, this may seem quite complicated, for people used to tearing the pc apart and messing with jumpers and what not, this just requires effort and time -_-

ashotn (2010-02-04)

I have installed it on ATA drive, I have 1 SATA using Ubuntu, and 1 ATA MAc... :)

d0ce (2010-02-05)

well finally booted to snow leopard. no sound, nic or display adapter yet and stuck at 1080x768, I need to be messing around with kexts yeh? Some help with the res would be good, I have a 4870 x2

aaron1989 (2010-02-05)

To D0ce,
the only luck i had installing graphics drivers was EFI studio, that came with all the drivers for the nvidia graphics cards, and i simply picked out mine, added the string for the graphics to the boot (does this automatically when you click add) rebooted, and went straight from 1024 - 768 to 1680 - 1050, try googling, the version of leopard i had comes with efi studio but i assume there is a downloadable version for this purpose.

rpgman1 (2010-02-06)

Doesn't work for me at all. I've tried to use USBit on my 8gb corsair flash voyager, but it says the BOOTMGR is missing. So do I need a Mac in order to format my flash drive to HFS+ and mount the img on the flash drive?

Farctan (2010-02-06)

Is there a way for DVD installation? the most ive got is a 4GB flash drive, but it would just be cheaper to buy a DVD+DL and install if from that, without having to waste money on a new flash drive. Any help?

Delifed (2010-02-06)

Hmm it says the image is corrupt or damaged. Any idea?

thesolcity (2010-02-07)

everything is all good till i get a blue screen, help please.

Wize_Caine (2010-02-07)

Ive gotten it to boot and then load the apple logo but then it just reboots... Ideas?
Im running an acer aspire 1 netbook

aman369 (2010-02-08)

i tried to mount the image file and it wouldnt let me.. any advice

d0ce (2010-02-08)

Ive got my res up to 1680x1050 but still no internet. Im using a "Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller" and have got it to show up in about this Mac thingy but it says I have no ethernet cable plugged in. Beats me if anyone has any ideas?

picketf (2010-02-08)

Ok managed to make it boot into OSX86 with my VIA C7 pc. Here's the thing for those who can't get it to work with USBit.
USE TRANSMAC 7.5
It will wipe any partitions though, there's no way to format to HFS+ without formatting all partitions later you can use Acronis or whatever partition program to create a partition out of the unallocated space left. Transmac will also copy the IMG file to the newly formatted drive
And why was BootHelp.txt removed?? I just enter "?" at boot and it says its not there...

aaron1989 (2010-02-08)

To Farctan - yeah that's cheaper if you have a Dual Layer DVD burner, otherwise no.
To Idannc USBIT does not recognise USB hard drives only USB flash drives e.g them little ones that looks like skinny matchboxes lol.
To Aman369 if you're trying to mount this image on windows - you're an idiot. if not i dont understand what you're trying to mount or what on.
it says clearly in the description use USBIT image tool to restore this image to your USB flash drive and boot from flash drive.
To Delifed - try re-downloading the image. sorry.
To Solcity - blue screen isn't an informational error - google it and see what comes up.
To Wize_Caine - try typing -v rather then just enter when it gives you the option to do so, so you can get information on your error and find out why it doesn't load the OS.
To d0ce it seems like you have the wrong drivers installed for your Network, or the drivers dont work properly maybe because of the Mac OS version. Have you any wireless devices you could try?
Lastly to PicketF, to format a NTFS / FAT32 partition to HFS+ or HFS you can use the linux distro Gparted Live, a live cd that once burned you simply run at boot, and use the application to format your drive or partition without affecting the rest of the drive.
Agreeably I also wondered why the boothelp file was removed.

Gonna try this on my AMD. Im running Leo 10.5.7 now flawless. Tried the one from Hazard with no luck.
Also new to using a USB instead of DVD so it will be insterresting.
Can it be done from a excisting OSX install at all?

rohan-04 (2010-02-10)

Yeah you can do it with an existing mac.....Go to disk Ut...and restore the image to your flash drive........then run the install! :)

hiya123 (2010-02-10)

Hey, does it matter what OS I use to mount the image? This is what I've been doing:
1) Format Flash Drive using FAT32
2) Use USBIT (one in download) -> Device Mode -> Restore -> Select Image
3) Plug in USB, reboot, make sure BIOS boots from USB
I get nothing. My computer just normally boots Windows and when I disable the hard drive and only enable the USB, it doesn't boot at all.
Could this be that I'm using Windows 7 to restore the image..? I've tried multiple times and tested the mounted USB on an XP and Vista. I'm going to try to restore on XP and Vista now and see if it'd work..
Any ideas? Thanks!

hiya123 (2010-02-10)

Okay, fixed that problem, now I have a new one.
When I go into Disk Util, it only recognizes my USB drive?
I have shrinked data in my hard drive, then partitioned it as a primary and set it active with DISKPART but still doesn't recognize.
Will reformatting through an XP boot disk work? Will have to format the partition with NTFS?

rohan-04 (2010-02-10)

How did you fix that usb problem...i too have the same problem!

d0ce (2010-02-11)

Has anyone had any luck with a X-Fi Titanium PCIe sound card? Id tried the VoodooHDA but it wont let me use analog out, only optical. Its the last thing I need to get going now. Thanks.

Hi! i followed every instruction.. got a 10gb partition set it to active. used usbit to restore imag to usb on my 8gb usb drive. but when i choose to boot from my generic usb it just says BOOT0:Done a million times and nothing happens.. tried to burn the image file to a DVD-9 but still wont boot through that either... by the way, this is my first time to try to install OS X on my pc.. I checked CPU-Z and it says i have SSE2 and SSE3 on my instructions.. Please any help would be much appreciated..

LTAcosta (2010-02-14)

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone could help me make this work. I have the usb working where I can boot to it, but when it goes to run setup, it flashes a bluish white screen for a little bit then goes black. When I try to use 'voodoo -v' it stops after a bunch of text floods by, and says 'ERROR: Firewire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure'. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or knows what I'm doing wrong. I'm using an 8 gb flashdrive that I did a full normal NTFS format on, and also am sure that I was in device mode when I restored the mac image.
Here's my computer's specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T8100 @2.1GHz [Instructions:MMX, SSE(1,2,3,3S,4.1), EM64T, VT-x]
3GB DDR2 RAM
Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family Graphics Card
15GB Partition on a 300GB WD Sata
This is in my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, so the motherboard is a Dell, and the graphics card is integrated.

KronosDude (2010-02-14)

Intel Atom support for netbooks??? Anyone?

I have a 500GB external HDD hanging around,can i install it on that??

 cclloyd (2010-02-16)

For those having the white/black screen problem, you will need access to a mac to add a kext for your graphics card to the installation.
And yes you should be able to install it on an EHD

ysa1337 (2010-02-16)

GenEmperor, that is actually an older version since this is 10.6.2 Snow Leopard and that version is 10.5.6 Leopard. It might work better for you but it's not "the latest".

can someone help me with that damn USBit thing?
i cant boot from the USB flash when i restore the IMG. What is DEVICE MODE you all are talking about? if you mean this tool up to the left in the program (USBit) then its grayed for me.
PLEASE HELP!

Smythe94 (2010-03-01)

Where do I find a list of compatible video cards?
I've got a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT, does anyone know if that will work out?

SirPhobos (2010-03-02)

Remixboyyy - Try right clicking the program and click "Run as Administrator". That fixed the problem for me.

Remixboyyy (2010-03-02)

@SirPhobos
thx i solved the problem, but im stuck now at detecting my partitions and my harddisk mainly like some others here.
it finds just the USB flash memory but not the harddisk. i tried on my laptop and it found the harddisk but the 2 partitions i had was grayed (tried just for testing, dont want to fix mac os on my laptop)
does that mean that im unable to install mac os on my computer?
thanks in advance :)

download this:
it allows you to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single PC

wuns (2010-03-11)

I tried it, but it doesn't support Mac Os X, its not in the operating system list, i tried with "other op system", after starting the vm, it said, operating system not found...

xTuckerx (2010-03-15)

@wuns. You need the darwin-snow.iso.
Put that in the disk drive.
Then the .img you got here in the floppy disk drive.

jmans25 (2010-03-15)

Ok, so I can download the IMG file, but that is a floppy image. How do I get a disc image out of it (.iso)? thanks, and I will install this in VMware (it worked for 10.5.0).

Nice upload. Thanks

ichthyostega (2010-03-21)

Let me try to help the ones that have problems with USBit and external disks, some new HDs aren't recognize as MASS STORAGE and the USBit can't find him, Use a "pen" or a memory card (or in my case my nokia 5800 in mass storage mode) to restore the image and the forget to use "device mode".
Now I'm stuck on a blue screen after boot the usb.
I'm not give up, I will try to find a solution

ichthyostega (2010-03-21)

*Don't forget to use device mode! (sorry the mistake)

jmans25 (2010-03-21)

@Hypercube
lol I was making a stupid mistake... i forgot he removed the dot in gmail.com . that was a stupid mkistake of mine... ow, and i allready have 10.5 installed, but wanna upgrade.

ichthyostega (2010-03-21)

I've done it! Works like a charm!!
The only kext I had to install was the AC'97 audio driver! Even wireless work with no problem without needed to install anything.

promothus (2010-04-10)

So I get it all onto my USB and everything, and get it booted into my PC. I get to the prompt, and I press enter to continue as said. It goes through, and then the screen blanks. The computer restarts. It does this continously. So I press F8 to try to type various commands, such as -v to see what the issue is, but still, it crashes and restarts automatically no matter what I do.
System specs:
AMD Athlon 7750 Dual-Core @ 2.8
nVidia GeForce 9500 GT PCIe 1gb GDDR3
2 gb of RAM DDR2
1TB SATA Hard drive
ECS GF8200A Black Edition (Motherboard)
Thank you much.

DONT POST DO NOT DOWNLOAD COMMENTS ON MY TORRENTS YOU LITTLE PRICK

Berty_baset (2010-05-10)

So this is where I am with this from windows os USBit will only write the image to a usb key or hdd so you need a pen drive or the like, once done I have booted to the drive run the command -voodoo -v -x32 as i'm using an amd system
system boots up fine but I can't see my hdd, only the pen drive, this is because this version will only see usb hdd's... so I have put my computer hdd in a sata usb hdd caddy and connected it that way. now I can see the hdd. The disk utility from the util menu will let me format it to a mac file system and now i'm happily installing, hope this helps people with no hdd issue

McLovinnnn (2010-06-12)

Dear cclloyd
First of all thanks a lot for the torrent.
I seem to be having a little problem though.
I put the image on my 8GB usb stick using USB IT. Then I managed to successfully load it and get past all the writing that comes with the -v option. However, everything stops at the light blue screen right before the installation menu comes up. (the one that says "welcome to whateverOSthisis") What can I do to get past it? My USB just becomes inactive at the blue screen.
Many thanks

@Codymx
Check if Max CPUID is enabled or disabled in BIOS settings, it must be disabled for Mac OS X.

rail3r85 (2010-11-29)

@Thethingy
All patched OS X 10.2 dvd's are the same, there is no difference. So fuck off.

HussleFlow (2010-12-21)

Hey, CCLoyd. I tried to email you but it wouldn't send.
So here's my problem, i've put the .img on my USB with your USBit ON Device Mode, went to boot it, and at first I was like, "cool it works" but then unlike what yours did, my codes started scrolling but it doesn't scroll for even 5 seconds and it goes black, then lights up. I figured at first "Ok, maybe Ihave to wait" So I waited, watched the screen for a good 15 minutes, nothing happened. I started regularly, and started with -v, same thing. (Note my USB was in NTFS) So, I tried your ISO, from the tutorial video. This time on the ISO, the mac screen pops up, does the little loading thing at the bottom, THEN it goes black, and lights up. ( same as the .img) So at the moment, i'm formatting my USB again and putting it in FAT32 then putting the .img on it, and i'll try to boot it again..
But yeah does anybody know how to fix this issue?
P.S. i'm so psyched, i've always wanted a Mac OS.

dilog46 (2011-08-14)

I finally managed to install some old wireless USB had available, Belkin G Plus Mimo Wireless Network Adapter recognize as RT2573 USB wireless not bad at all!,
although the in-box Broadcom 440X and
Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG still not working, but no problem for me.
Also Nvidia geForce Go 7300 only working for 1024 x 768 quite poor resolution. Tested with Google Earth - not good at all!
Audio: the mic is not working at all, speakers ok.
USB ok
Now I have at least a hacintosh and my thanks for that! Only one question left. Is it possible to upgrade somehow?
