I've got my dear K50IN to boot into OS X Snow Leopard. Now the problem is with the "sleep" but I don't use it so I don't really care

Thank you!

Sleep works fine here too

thank you for your advised but would you mind to share your DSDT? I would like to see and try it on my machine, because like i told you before I tried to modify it for twice but got no luck, then it would be better to compare with your file...

thank you again

Hi everyone, I hope you can help. I'm currently running Windows 7 with MBR disk and have 1 unallocated partition ready for a Mac installation. Could you help me about general step I need to do to install 10.6.3 without messing up my current configuration

I'm using it for work so I can't reinstall Windows. I have a 16GB USB drive, a retail image of 10.6.3. What kext should I use and where I can download it. I've read your post on #1 before but now it's replace with something else. My laptop is K40IN with T4200 CPU and 3GB of RAM. Hope someone can help.

Hi binhpv, welcome to the thread.
The tutorial on the first page is changed, yes (for better) and you should follow its parts to have a fully working HacBookPro at the end. I am afraid that if your HDD is not GUID (which i dont think it is atm) you should backup your files first and then do a clean install with the HDD reformated to GUID with two partitions, one for OSX on for Win7. I have forgot to add the USB Install method to the first page (which is done now)

If you have problems address them here,

Cheers

Thanks for your help Flip

. What you've added is really what i'm looking for. Now I can create a USB drive to install. But where's the BootCD? The instruction from man_of_the_oak is good but it is for post-install configuration. What I need is how to install it. I've read and look around this topic and other forum but there too much information and I don't know where to start and how to start correctly. I hope you can state some basic step I will need to follow to get the right direction.

As I said before, I'm using the laptop for work with full of software, document, project and a lot lot configuration I've made to installed software. It's really frustrating to reformat the hard drive. I can backup data file but can't sure that Windows backup image will restore correctly after reformat. So anyway I can install Leopard to MBR partition?
Sorry if my English is so bad. I'm Vietnamese student

i have added the bootCD install link to the first page (thanks for reminding me

) you need google translate though, BUT with a succsesfull creation of the DSDT i would recommend any of the USB install methods (i am using the first one). As for the HDD i am sorry to say that the MBR method exists but for full compatibility better to reformat the drive to GUID partition table. No need, your English is fine

Cheers

So Windows 7 32bit support install to GPT drive? Are there any problem doing that? Maybe I will spend my weekend to rebuild my lappy

And have you tested if the BootCD work with 10.6.3 or not? I saw in your link that it was built for 10.6.
I figure that I'll need to follow this:
- Boot the BootCD and reformat the HDD to GUID, install Windows 7.
- Boot again to install MAC OS X 10.6.3.
- follow man_of_the_oak's guide to upgrade to 10.6.8.
I think I still missing one thing is where's the kexts that I will need after install 10.6.3 (ok, man_of_the_oak only show how to upgrade to 10.6.8, but I need to install the OS before I can upgrade it

)

Yes windows installs to GPT, i use Win7 64bit, the kexts for 10.6.x from man_of_the_oak archive, you just have to build your own DSDT. Also be sure to use kext wizard to repair kext cache after you install the kexts in S/L/E or E/E.
