Hey guys so I am new to this forum and have been googling for weeks for help on my system specs. I have posted this on 2 other osx86 forums and no one will respond to me. I know its their free time but i really need some help on this.
OK so I did a lot of researching and couldn't find anything on my laptop. I've tried most or all of the distros available that are compatible with my specs and I've gotten no where. Ive been shot down constantly with kernel panics and the thing not getting to the install page, or getting it to read my hard drive when i go to disk utility. I even went as far as formatting a partition to hfs+ with paragon partition manager. I have a Compaq Presario F700 Series and it seems that their is little information for this laptop. I have found several methods and attempted to install mac such as trying an external hard drive. The problem is I don't have one. I tried installing it an old 8gb mp3 player (mass storage) but it simply wouldn't boot after installation. The distros that I have used are:
-iPC Universal
-Leo4allv3
-LawlessPPC
-iDeneb
-iKalyway
-Jas 10.4.8
-Leo4allv4.1 ppf patched
-Leo4all4.1
-currently working on iAtkosv7
I also tried booting with Empire EFI, it would not work. I dont have a external hardrive to boot from and i have a ghetto phoenix bios that which limits me to barely configuring the anything at all. Ive asked this question at InsanelyMac but no one would reply so im hoping that you guys could help me because google just isnt doing it. Here are my specs:
