technology seriously hates me haha

neither things worked. the time issue doesnt work because servicemanager.exe doesnt show the appletime.exe file. infact, it only shows about half of the exe's in the system32 folder. it shows up when i put it into the windows folder, but not system32. ive tried running it as the administrator, changing all of my privileges to the highest settings, and changing the compatibility to vista/xp. nothing.

also, i installed the chipset drivers, but the sleep still doesnt work. the monitor shuts off and the computer stays on, but for whatever reason the monitor wont turn back on, even if its manually turned off and on again.

i always seem to have problems haha
thanks for the links though

I had to copy the appletime.exe file into system32 twice for some reason. No idea why, but then it worked.

Try updating the video card drive by going to the manufacturer's website. also try setting the power settings back to default.

No idea why else sleep would not work =/

10.6.1 installing as we speak. I have long since moved on to a significantly more sophisticated method of installing OS X and of maintaining drivers.

I will edit my original post to include Snow Leopard install information when I have all the bugs worked out. It will be slightly more difficult than the leopard install, if just because it has more steps.

The great news is that my current method of installing drivers makes them pretty much immune to updates.

Also, this will be a native 64-bit install of SL.

Feel free to post what video card you have (if you deviated from the 4870 in the guide) and I will include the files that you need in my writeup.

its smaller and faster. if the price is not a concern then there is really no reason not to use it. Granted, ive only had it for about 2 hours ;p

Well...its almost done. Bonjour does not auto-start so file sharing and such is not working correctly. I think every other thing is working though. Probably get the guide up tomorrow or this weekend.

I recommend having an 8GB (or larger) external/flash drive. You can still use the boot-132 method though.

Looking forward to seeing the SL method. I've got a nicely working Leopard install now so I'm hesitant to screw it up but I'd like to move to SL eventually.

i want to update from the windows 7 RC to the retail version, but i dont want to mess up anything with the dual booting. it took way too much time and effort to set it up and it would suck really really hard if i have to redo it. i know i cant just upgrade and ill have to wipe the partition, so thats why im afraid.
what would be the best method to do this? i know this isnt a windows thread, but its really the only forum im on that could answer it.

Shouldn't mess up the dual booting, probably.

So this sounds Like an extremely stupid question but I looked at the Apple website to look for myself but I am either stupid or just not good at searching. Say I would want to buy mac OS X Leopard (I was looking on the site for a price but couldn't find it). About how much would the full version run me? (i could only find Snow Leopard Upgrades which were like 29.99) sorry for the noob question t.t;

Hey Guys, sorry for the HUGE delay.

I have added some SL content to the original post.

I have also started to work on an SL install on a completely different set of hardware.

Sad Panda-
Just buy the upgrade DVD. It works as full retail for our purposes. It can do a full, clean install. thanks Apple!

This probably makes me the happiest man on earth for the pure fact that I won't have to spend hundreds on an OS hahahaha thank you for the response aswell ill reread the op for the new content when I'm not on my mobile later

I intend on building this in month or so (atleast that's what I'm shooting for) so ill probably have some more questions somewhere down the line xD and if this thread is too old ill most probably just PM you maleorder just to not receive the banhammer for being a irresponsible white guy :D

BTW, if people have specific SL driver questions you can ask them here. I have not written the guide yet, but that doesn't mean I haven't installed SL on dozens of systems already ;p

Thanks man! Will give it whirl this weekend.

Question though:

If i am doing an upgrade, but you suggest a retail install, can I install SL full retail and maintain all my current settings and jazz or will it wipe all that stuff out?

It will wipe it out. You can certainly do an upgrade, but I think there might be ALOT of kext confusion.

You can do an archive and install of the old Leopard installation, but I am uncertain (and skeptical) of that working.

edit:

If you want to be a guinea pig for everyone else you can try to do an upgrade install. If you need the complete /system/library/extensions folder to be virgin, then I can probably upload a zip of it. You can install of them (it might take a bit), but then you should be kext-trouble free. Want to try that?

Just let me know what drives you have installed. I assume you did the entire essentials/gigabyte packages included in my OP. Any other drivers or optional installs?
