Guide to Installing OSX on Wind:------------------------------------------USING MSIWINDOSX86-------------------------------------------Stellarola's guideUPDATED JULY 22nd 2008THE WIND INSTALLER DISC CAN BE FOUND ON TPB!! "MSIWindosx86"So the custom installer disc is finally here. This is the first release for thedisc and consider it abeta as we wanted to get some feedback from the community.This is currently the easiest option to install Mac OS X Leopard on the MSI Windnotebook.Please take into consideration the installer was made with the MSI Wind notebookin mind and we're hopingthat the other clone revisions of this notebook (Advent, Luvbook, Akoya) will workas well, even thoughsome of the hardware is slightly different.Before I list off some of the features, I'd like everyone to know thatNO ONE DRAWS A PAYCHECK FROM THESE EFFORTS.We created this disc to help the community and give people more options on theirbrand new MSI Wind notebook.If you really like the way this OS feels to you please consider purchasing OS XLeopard from http://www.apple.com.Before someone starts complaining, be sure to read the OSx86 forums athttp://www.insanelymac.com forsome preliminary information about OSx86 and how it works before you start makinga fool of yourself.----------------Features---Single disc installation-Native Graphics on boot of OS-Keyboard and Trackpad Working-Native Camera support for use with applications such as iChat, Photoboot & Skype-Internal Speakers with Mute, Volume UP/DOWN functionality-Bluetooth Works natively-Clamshell Sleep-System Sleep (Still to be determined)So we understand what the features are of this thing. Now lets get down tobusiness on what doesn't work.Because we all know that's what people love to complain about... :!:--Features not yet implemented---About this Mac Screen - This is just cosmetic as it does not affect thefunctionality of the notebook

-Line in/out Mic - This is the biggest complaint from everyone.I am trying my hardest to source down the one man who can actually get thisfunction to work.Until then, be glad you HAVE OS X Leopard running on your MSI Wind.-Trackpad Scrolling - This could potentially be solved, but I have not delved deepenough into the process.-Installer can potentially not show progress bar - As you can see in Onetrack'sinstallation video some peoplehave been noticing that the progress bar for the installation is not showing. Thisdoesn't mean it's not installing as it's purely cosmetic.Onetrack has done a great job of lending me a hand with testing the installationand he was kindenough to upload some videos to show people both the installation of thisinstaller discand also how to upgrade the RAM, WIFI and the HDD.INSTALLATION OF THE CUSTOM INSTALLER DISC:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS7yFH_I3NIINSTALLATION OF RAM, HDD AND WIFI CARDhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir-aLtuVNpsPlease watch those videos before attempting the installation so you throughlyunderstand how to do this.I want to give a shout out to Onetrack, Stoked4life, SME82 and everyone else whohelped make this release happen so quickly.This will be the first release with others to come afterward which will be morethoughtout and thorough.Thanks everyone,-Stell----------------------------------------USING KALYWAY 10.5.2---------------------------------------Last update: 14/07/08 - video and images online!What you need to install OSX on your WindHere's a list of what you MUST have to install OSX on your Wind...- An external DVD drive- A DVD containing Kalyway 10.5.2 install (you can find this on the usual 'torrentsites')- The Kalyway 10.5.3 upgrader (see CD) on a USB stick or CD/DVD- The official 10.5.4 DELTA update fromhttp://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054update.html on a USB stick or

CD/DVD.Do NOT use the Combo updater.- My Wind driver and utility pack (see CD) on a USB stick or CD / DVDAnd here's an item you really SHOULD have to install OSX on your Wind...- A proper licenced copy of LeopardNow, of course you could install without the above item, but i'm in favour ofbeing fair to Apple.Regardless of the intricacies and enforcability (or otherwise) of the EULA, it'splaying fair to buy a licence forLeopard if you plan to use it on a machine. IMHO anyway. It's up to you of course,but it makes me feel better!I look at it as 'Apple won't build me a 10" notebook so I have to do it myself'biggrin.gifI also have upgraded my RAM to 2GB... very cheap indeed at Play.com!DisclaimerOf course, installing OSX on your Wind is gonna wipe whatever is on there already.I'm sure you know that already biggrin.gifAlso, if anything goes horribly wrong, you're following my guide at your own riskm'kay? biggrin.gifBefore you start - ensure you have BIOS version of at least 1.05 installed!You can view the BIOS version by entering the BIOS setup (press 'del' at startup).- MSI machines: download your BIOS update here- Advent machines: download your BIOS update hereAfter updating your BIOS, enter BIOS setup and press F9 to 'restore bestperformance defaults'. This step is VITAL!Step by Step - installing OSX on your Wind1. Insert the Kalyway 10.5.2 disk into your external DVD drive, and plug it intoyour Wind2. Start your Wind, and press F11 when prompted to choose a boot device. When theblue list pops up, select your DVD drive3. When prompted to hit a key to boot from CD/DVD, hit a key.... you'll see a tonof text scroll up the screen - just sit tight biggrin.gif4. You'll next be presented with your language select screen.I imagine you want English, so just hit enter! It'll then sit doing 'PreparingInstallation' for a while.5. When you get the 'Welcome' screen, don't hit continue straight away! Move yourpoint to the 'Utilities' menu, and select 'Disk Utility'.6. When the Disk Utility application has loaded, click your main drive in the lefthand pane (probably the very top entry, 'WDC WD800 or similar')7. Click 'Partition' on the right hand pane.8. Under 'Volume Scheme', click '1 partition'.9. Give your disk a nice name. I chose 'Leopard'. Original, I know!10. Click 'Apply'11. Wait for it to do it's thing, then select 'Quit Disk Utility' from the 'DiskUtility' menu.12. You'll now be taken back to the installer welcome page. Click 'Continue'.13. Click 'Agree' when the legalese blurb pops up.
