@Hara TaikiRecommend you try on your own, helps you learn a thing or two about your software and your hardware.

yes but if my hardware isnt compatible and something goes wrong i will lose my computer rite?

Author Update #2 @iPxndx 2009-02-06 ↳ Re: @Hara Taiki
@Hara TaikiData loss is always a possibility, even on supported hardware, so I don't understand why you're even really asking that. If you have important data you wish not to lose and cannot back it up to another location, I recommend staying away from OS X, as the install process involves reformatting your hard drive in most cases.

i have backed up my data but i mean my Pc example: i will never able to boot it or to install windows or something of hardware problesm

Author Update #3 @iPxndx 2009-02-06 ↳ Re: @Hara Taiki
@Hara TaikiYour hardware will be fine. If you don't like Mac OS X, you can boot a Windows CD/DVD and reformat the drive and go back to that system if that's what you want. I don't know what could possibly give you the idea that your hardware would become damaged.

ok i will try but when i am partitioning my hard disk
with Partition Magic there is an unlocated space disk of 8mb should i delete it?

Author Update #4 @iPxndx 2009-02-07 ↳ Re: @Hara Taiki
@Hara TaikiYou can do your disk partitioning with the Mac OS X Install DVD. It's easier.

ok i am about installing it but one last thing before that

should i install netkas or ddr(number)
and what happend if i select wrong SMBIOS

Author Update #5 @iPxndx 2009-02-07 ↳ Re: @Hara Taiki
@Hara TaikiThis made no sense. Depends. Some people end up logged out when selecting "About This Mac", some don't. All I can say is try and see.
