Thread: Lion Install on Sony Vaio VPCCB17FX

Okay I have a new sony Vaio laptop VPCCB17FX with Windows 7 64 bit I5 and 8gb ram.

I donwloaded the OSX86 ModCD 0.3.1 and boot up with it and then I insert OSX Lion Disc and it begins to boot and I get some sort of error and then it displays sytem uptime and goes no further... Is there an easy way of installing this or is it just impossible!

I have very limited settings in my bios too so I cant adjust ACHI or anything... It gives access to system clock and I can find no other bios for my machine. Perhaps Im stuck with Windows

Quick question...

Where you find a Retail Lion DVD??? Or you made it???

Anyway, Nawcon ModCD is for Snow Leopard, for Lion you need to use this > Boot CD for Lion - Downloads - Kexts.com

But if you will try to install Lion on the same HDD that you have Windows installed, i don`t know if will work...

Boot Cd's for Lion aren't ready yet. If you want to try something easier, you could make one partition and format it FAT32. Then download iAtkos s3 v2 (Snow Leopard distro) and try to boot with it. You'll probably need some boot parameter for i5 processor. Hopefully, you'll get to the install window. Format that fat32 partition to hfs+ with Disk Utility, leave default options in customize and install it.
