    Hackintosh 10.5.5 Retail Rig - Starting at $305

    someone suggested GPT only works with 64bit vista or xp. Is your vista install 32 or 64 ? I just had a look and in disk utility my settings were set to MBR, hmm..

    I formatted it as Windows NT Filesystem from within disk utility. I know the mac can not normally write to ntfs however I do have paragon. But the formatting was all done by disk utility and I selected Windows NT Filesystem, is that not NTFS ? (the files i transferred were well in excess of the...

    Did you put the HDD you want x64 vista to install on to one of the first sata ports? I have issues running x64 vista if it is not on one of the first sata ports.

    Just a side note if anyone is an xbox gamer. It is now possible to use the P35-DS3L onboard sata chipset (ICH9) to flash the drives :) Just use Windows XP 32bit and get jungleflasher, and set your SATA native mode to disable so it is in legacy mode, then follow this...

    Um ... opps I dont know what happened but my system is freezing and running sooo slow something chronic now. To load osx takes about 3~5mins and even then I can't select anything or open nothing for ages and the system is extremely laggy and I get a wheel spin for everything. :-| I was in...

    @ volcs0 - Are all your drives formatted as Mac journaled ? If so then vista wont see them. Format one of the drives as either NTFS or FAT so vista can detect it. I didnt need to load no drivers just selected the sata HDD and clicked format then install... ? I am using x64 vista.

    Yeh, I use an Asus WL-138G V2 PCI wireless card. In 10.5.0 it wont work but once i update the system from an install to 10.5.4 + (I am on 10.5.6 now) it works 100%. Its a great card and cost me $20 AUD so about ~$15 USD new. There are different versions of the card so make sure it is a...

    I dual boot x64 vista and leopard and have no issues. I usually hit restart in vista when I want to load leopard (as osx is the default boot). And if i want vista i hold the f12 button and do it through the bios boot selector. But i haven't had any issues at all .. ?

    if you have DSDT it will be when you open your Mac HDD directory called DSDT.aml I think. Taruga is just the audio patch which is in kaido/weaksauces package in the installation directory then audio. After you download the 10.5.6 combo update (i.e. that is the ~600mb one) install it - restart...
