I'm re-reading my post and I think I wasn't clear.

Just tried to say that I updated successfully and without problems, however it took me some time when I was trying to install the drivers again. It took me a little more time but everything worked fine, excepting for the USB. To read contents from the USB pendrive I had to plug it in before starting Leopard. Not really something to care about. The real reason which I decided to install all again was because I installed something called myHack Installer 1.0 that rewrote the Chameleon 2.0 and didn't let me enter to Leopard again.

When you say that the update didn't worked for you, what exactly happened? And which model is your Toshiba? Just trying to compare experiences dude

Well personally I did not try updating, My USB fully works just as a real Macbook, I am using the Voodoo kernel on my system, the Vanilla kernel is just as stable in previous tests. As far as I know I am the only one thats working on collection drivers that work on the L305, I am also waiting on the Quartz Extreme feature as-well, currently there are no updates to my kextpack I will update it if/when the new Quartz Extreme kext for GMAx4500 comes about.

You should be able to update to 10.5.8 using the iDeneb 10.5.8 Combo Update package. I can't post a link here for obvious reasons, so..I'll just say this.....Google is your friend.

Have you tried succesfully to update?

It was really a mess to do the Tri-Boot in a single Hard Drive but I finally could

However I don't want to spend time in an update if I know it will fail or it success is not sure. That would make me reinstall the MBR many times to get Tri-Boot again.

Today I (stupidly) tried to install the Adobe Master Collection CS4 in my ToshiMac and I (sweetly) got my first Kernel Panic <3

In fact, I'm not sure if it was that the programs were too heavy or if it was a small coup that gave my laptop while it was installing. During the long installation process I had to move my computer to another place (from my house to the house of another friend), so I closed the lid and when I reached the house he found the Kernel Panic. I'm not sure and I would like to reinstall to confirm (:

When I rebooted I could boot perfectly into Leopard again, however there were missing parts of the CS4 Suite and the .dmg file that i decompressed before from those parts dissapeared o_O
Although, some programas were installed (like Bridge, Dreamweaver, SoundBooth) and were working perfectly.
I think that Mac creates something like a restore point and after a Kernel Panic it goes back to the last restore point created.
The thing is those files were saved in a NTFS partition which is the Windows XP partition and now I can't recover them
T_T

I tried with many programs to recover lost or deleted information but I failed to restore them.
The only solution: download them all again

Anyone of you have experiences with installing programs? If so, which ine did you installed and how did they worked?
Again, just wanting to compare experiences :P

Cheers!

Well I am pretty sure the iDeneb update would work, I can't guarantee it, but you may need to reinstall kexts, I would not recommend updating anyway, iAtkos already gives you 10.5.7 anyways, Theres not much difference. But as I said have not tried to update this system so the outcome is un-certain.

I see you use two different disks for your two O.S.: Windows 7 and Leopard, isn't it?

I have 3 in my 160 GB disk and I notice something: the time in Mac and Windows changes when I boot to anyone of them. I think that when I load Mac, the Windows time freezes, and when I load Windows, the Mac time and date freezes xD
Does that happen to you?

And thanks for the info about the Update

i have Toshiba L305-S5902 - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001HAO4OU?tag=softcafe-20 (for spec.) and i have win7 on it do you think it will work .

Absolutely! Why don't u try creating a NTFS partition apart from ur Windows Seven and install it?

Actually your computer is better than mine hehe so there's no doubt you can run it!
:P

Well I wouldn't say that, better doesn't always mean that it can run OSx86, And I do have a time problem with my eTower, it does change the time so that is it hours off, I am pretty sure that it happens on most systems, there is a kext that corrects this problem, I am gonna test it here soon, I think what it does is it makes the system base (which is UNIX) read the time and date from the bios in the same format as Windows would so that it would not be different times being read from the BIOS.But I only have Leopard installed on my L305 so I wouldn't know if there is or is not a problem on this particular machine.

It sounds like the L305-S5902 would run OSx86, but it may require different kexts for the hardware, I am guessing it has Realtek network cards in it, intel graphics ( hopefully more supported than the x4500).

But thats just my guess.
