You will need to re-format the partition to MAC OS X during the installation using the MAC OS partition manager that is build in the installation program.

Hi,
I am having the same problem as lairusi...

I have set my 10GB partition to FAT32 using Acronsis Disk Suite.
Then when I use the MAC disk utility to change the format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), the name of the volume changes to "disk0s4" and says the format is "Windows_Fat_32"

Then I just assumed it had formatted corrrectly at first so I tryed to continue with the installation but then relised that there was a problem because there where no options for which drive to install the OS to.

Please help 

You can definitely use it, the only thing is that a couple of shortcuts would be out of place because in Macs, there is no such thing as Alt. key and the Control key is instead spelled as "Control", not "Ctrl", and when you need to paste something, instead of using Ctrl+V, you will need Alt+V. That is something you will have to adapt to.
If what you meant is that you can not use the entire keyboard at all, then I am not sure what is going on, it should recognize PS/2 Keyboards automatically.

Good luck!

Thanks for that great guide!!!everything worked properly!!
The only prob is that I can't use my typical ps/2 keyboard..this is happening
only in the mac os.The pc I've used to install the os is a simple intel celeron
based desktop computer.Is something that I can do?Or i simply have to buy
a usb keyboard?

Well, I got it up and running great!  Thanks for the wonderful instructions.  I have another question though, is there any way to get drivers installed for all my products?  Like my 6800GT video card.  Nvidia doesn't seem to make Mac drivers for their 6 series.  Anyone know a way to get everything recognized and working properly?

Ok well I just did the OSX 10.4.9 uphuck version on my PC. Its a gateway Dual Core.. dont know the specifics as I having probs and cant pull it up. But its Model GT4024. I check before hand and its a SSE3 supporter.
Processor BrandIntel Processor ClassPentium D Processor Speed2.66 GHz Installed Memory1 GB Bus Speed533 MHz Cache Size2 MB Memory TechnologyDDR II SDRAM Maximum Memory2 GB Number of Installed Processors1 Maximum Number of Processors1 System ChipsetATI Radeon Xpress 200

Well let me start off and say I had a problem doing the Partitioning as described here http://coolblog.profit42.com/2006/05/13/os...ndows-computer/ I used this version because I plan to dual boot with XP.

What I did do was partition 30gigs on my C: and formated using disk partition to a fat32 primary and I made it active. Now when I went to the install on 10.4.9 There were no drives found. So i used the disk utility and erased and used one of the mac formats and it had ms-dos selected as default but it did not add a drive for me to install to.

Well the install went fine.. i think.. and It rebooted and now im getting this error going to OSX

"On ACPICPUthrottle when adding cpu 0 ,1,2,3(it did these all separate) They fail. No Valid cpu's returned by acpi! it's possible your bios does not think your system should be throttled and therefore did not return any available power states, or maybe your cpu only supports other state then maximum"

The when i try to boot to windows.. its says "windows root>system32\hal.dll missing reinstall"

So right now im kinda stuck and I dont know what to do. Any help would be great.. and if you need more info I can do my best.

Thanks!

Hey, I followed your guide exactly and it worked perfectly through the installation.  After reboot however, Acronis loaded and says "Acronis OS selector was unable to load 'UNKNOWN' operating system. The partition required cannot be found."  Do you have any idea what this means?  Thanks.

-Edit- This is what I get now: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/Casualfitzy/ERROR.jpg

Is there any way to tell where the problem lies?  The installation went so smoothly I'd hate to think my disc was messed up.

well actually, right now i dont have any questions about the guide. but ihave some troubles with my jas OS X 10.4.8 install, it hangs right after booting (in the install process)
showing me this black screen:

hy,

I have a problem: When I restart the computer and boot to mac os x,  a "grey colored" page where you see the apple logo at the center and below it is a small gear like circle appears. But after 20 seconds, the display gets black (stand-by-mode).
I think it's a problem with the graphical card (I have a ATI Readon x300/x550 Series)
I have already tried: "Graphics mode"="1280x1024x32" (I have VESA 2)
Then, the installation was in the 1280x1024 mode, but the problam with the black screen remains.

I hope you can help me...
Thanks!
