    Default Help installing leopard on acer aspire 7720g

    Hi

    i have been finding a way to install mac os x on to my acer aspire 7720g, dual boot it with windows xp.
    i came across leo4allv3, iatkos v3 v7. Then on this forum i came across nawcom modcd boot cd.

    i heard there were some problems in drivers being installed. i also was confused with the term kext.

    so i want to know a step by step on to install a fully working leopard mac os on my laptop
    thanks.

    I am new to hackintosh but will tell you how I managed to finally install this thing which intrigues us.
    Read, read and more read. It's all on this site, you just have to read.
    Nawcom is a cd that boots the comp so as to enable a version of mac, usually a retail version, to be utilised.
    Kext = Kernel EXTension, in Windows this is referred to as a driver.

    I found this helpful thread, but instead he uses chameleon boot cd im thinking this is the same as nawcom bootcd.

    http://www.osx86.net/general-trouble...ire-7730g.html

    i have snow leopard 10.6.8

    i have nawcom bootcd.

    i will firstly do the install of leopard the usual way, partition and install and will report any problems i encounter.

    what's the worst case scenario if it goes wrong.

    thanks

    since i have install xp on my hard drive, how do i partition my hard drive and format it so it is compatible for mac os to be installed on to it.

    will there be a partition utility to help me partition it or do i have to partition it from xp sp3 using diskpart

    thanks
