Audio is no problem if you have proper codec`s dump for patcher or some custom kext. But first give us some info on it - what model exactly is it ? By model i mean manufacturer, model and number ( you can find vendor and device id under windows device manager or by looking up the specifications of your laptop in the internet ). About the wireless - it`s quite the same, we`ll need exact model to move on.

Well, i can at least try to help.

Seems like this is the wireless driver you need to install - it`s with installer so as simple as possible :

In case of sound - i still don`t know the model so i can`t search for drivers for you. You can try to install Azalia Audio but it`ll work only with laptop speakers then.

Thanks for the info, do you also know how I can set up a dual boot, with Vista on one drive and macosx on the other drive, and then when I start I can choose which operating system I want to use?

[Taisto]

It`s all on the forum mate :)

Here you go :

http://www.infinitemac.com/f19/how-to-dual-boot-windows-and-os-x-t1803/

A nice tutorial by nfoav8or and some other options in replies, so you can choose from few methods.

[nam6668]

:( I read the part about dual booting, but here's the thing. Windows Vista came bundeled with all of the other software on my laptop, and I can find any boot.ini on my C; drive. It may sound dumb, but have you got any other suggestions, or where on this forum I can go?:mad:

[Taisto]

It has to have boot file. It`s probably hidden...try to un-hide all files in folder options, or whatever it`s called.

[nam6668]

I will look for it, I have Vista on drive 1 and want to put osx on drive 2. Is this possible and how is the best way to do it?

[Taisto]

Yes it is possible. The easiest way is to set the booting drive in BIOS and keep two bootloaders - one on each HDD so to boot into another OS you would have to just switch the first boot option. Another way is to use multi-hdd bootloader - instructions on that are on the thread which i`ve linked for you in last post :)

Is it possible to install the real mac leopard on my 86 laptop?

[nam6668]

Taisto is it possible to install retail Leopard on my laptop?

[Taisto]

Yepp, it is possible. Here`s a guide how to do that :

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=86167

But to be honest - it is rather difficult, at least whe you compare it to the modified distro. And i`d recommend you to stick with some midified distros.

Anyway, i`m sure that i saw a topic about installing retail here, on infinitemac. Try the search if the thread from insanely is not clear enough.
