Here is my method for installing Leopard Beta alongside Tiger on the same physical internal drive.
(this method works on intel based macs only)

1. Partition your hard drive with Bootcamp. (non-destructive partitioning)
[I gave about 30GB to Leopard and left the rest of my 250GB drive to Tiger.]

2. Reboot your system with the Tiger installation disk in your drive holding down the "c" key.
Use the Tiger installation disk to run "Disk Utility" instead of Leopard Beta Disk (more reliable utility)

3. After booting from DVD in Disk Utility select your newly created partition in the left colum
then goto the Erase Tab. Make sure Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) is selected for the new Partition format
and click the erase button in the lower left.
(Doing this erases the Windows formated Partition and creates a Mac OS formatted partition in it's place.)

4. Now reboot your Mac with the Lepoard WWDC disk in and run a full installation on your newly created
partition.

This dual boot method has worked flawless for me.

If anyone has question feel free to PM me.

That's exactly what I was going to do. I'll let you know how it works.

Or hold down the Option key on boot to show available OS's

will the apps found in the dvd work on a hackintosh? like dashcode for example?

well... you got in running.

what installation method did you use?

I have had the image for a couple days now but I cannot get it to install! I get the boot icon that is a circle with a line through it (looks like the no-smoking symbol if that helps).

I booted from a DVD and I tried to boot off a external HDD that I had restored the Leopard image too and nothing is working...

It appears that you need to set the partition scheme as GUID!!! IMPORTANT FOR INTEL PEOPLE!!!!!

is anyone on a G4? Can someone post how they installed on that?

Burn it to a dual layer dvd...and boot from the dvd...

Dashcode works if you change the installer requirements from 10.5 to 10.4. Its not really stable, either. I didn't run it on Tiger. So it may just be the Application, or it has problems when running on not-Leopard.


You could also copy the XCode tools to some other folder, and burn the DVD. Then install them once OS X is installed. There's not a need for them on the DVD - you can't install them during boot installation.

If i boot my powerbook into firewire target mode can i install leopard from my hackintosh onto my powerbook (i.e. its not going to install the intel version on my PPC machine)?

Mingistech,  I used your method to install Leopard and it worked just fine. After installing boot camp I just chose not to install Windows and rebooted to the Leopard install dvd. I then went to disk utillity and formated the second partition and installed leopard. I am actually posting this message to you now using leopard on my 20" Core Duo iMac.  I have had some time to play around with the new features and they work great.  While a lot of these new features are cool I am going to restore my mac back to one partition running Tiger and wait until the spring for the official release.  I can't wait to see what some of the "Secret" features are.

thanks for the install help, well see how it goes once i get leo so clcose so close

Anyone tried to do a dual boot or upgrade on a hackintosh?

Hi
How can I edit the dmg-File so that the xCode-Folder is left out but the dmg-File is still bootable? (I want to burn it on a normal DVD, just leaving the xCode-Folder out)

Thank you

im gonna give it a go as i have nothing better to do.... although i highly doubt it will work

i'm running an ibook g4, haven't finished the download yet, everything just stopped all of a sudden. i'm planning on that whole non-destructive partitioning using ipartition or something, just make an 8 gig partition and mount the image and install to the 8 gigs of space....If not i'll probably use my 40 gig iPod.

I have the same question, who can help us?

Next I plan on installing Lepoard on a 600Mhz G3 iBook.

Anyone running this baby on a G3 yet?

hi guys
i have finished the downloading of leopard dvd.
i want to install it on my ibook g4's hd using my ipod 60gb 5g.
i erased the whole thing and then restored the dmg onto the ipod, successful.
however when i try to install, i opent he installer from finder, restart, and then i end up booting into tiger. my ipod still shows up as a ipod icon and if i press c to boot with it it just boots into 10.4 i cant set it as the startup disk.

Holding C down tries to boot off the CD drive, you need to restart holding the option key down.

if i hold down option it just shows 1 disk (ibooks hd)

i dont think i completely erased correctly, because it is still showing up as a ipod


does restoring the leopard dmg move the contents of it to the ipod because i cant mount it now

Alright, sorry for creating a new thread, didn't see this one.

Is there a way I can partition my NTFS external HD so that my data is safe but I have a new HFS partition? Hopefully shareware. I cannot use gparted because I do not have an Ubuntu live cd.

Thanks.

A note for those of us without a Mac keyboard...keep in mind if you have a Mactel with the remote you can hold down the "menu" button on the remote to select what you want to boot from

Ah... who needs BootCamp. I use QTParted and it is more tweaky than BootCamp when it comes to partitioning.

For those of you that were asking about a method of installing Leopard without burning it to a DL DVD, here is how I did it.

1) Startup Carbon Copy Cloner  (google it)
2) Mount the Leopard disk image (dmg)
3) In CCC, select source as "Leopard mounted image" and destination as any partition on your Hardrive or External Drive.
4) In CCC prefs, select make Bootable and DO NOT select Erase Volume. (if your destination volume is empty, who cares).
5) Press Clone.
6) When finished, go in Start Up Disk and select that install you just did and RESTART.
7) Leopard install appears and lets you install it where ever you want.
    Just select your destination and cutomize it if you want .
8) You know the rest...enjoy and don't waste a DL DVD for nothing.

PS. This is how I did it on my PPC G5 iMAC.
      


Enjoy!

I did it and it worked great. Just don't forget to format your Windows partition to HFS+ with your Mac's restore CDs.

Anyone haveing trouble getting ichat to work in leopard? its the only thing im having issues with

I installed on my MBP like this:

• Download and extract.
• Use Boot Camp Assistant to split my hard drive into two partitions.
• Connect iPod (30 gig 5G) in disk mode and use Disk Utility to erase it.
• Use Disk Utility to restore the Leopard image to the iPod.
• Reboot, hold option, select the iPod.
• Run Disk Utility from the installer and format the Boot Camp partition.
• Finish the install normally.

I'm currently transferring files from my Tiger partition but everything seems to be fine so far.

Has someone successfully used ultraiso or transmac with this install dmg ? They don't recognize it

complex how did you get the system to recognize your ipod, i thought you cant boot from usb devices

I think Apple added support for booting from USB devices with the Intel Macs, but I could be wrong. In any case, it just worked.

did anyone try on hackintosh

Correct - Only can boot from USB devices on the Intel devices.

Cheers

CCC is bringing up a ton of applescript errors, and since im on a ppc machien i cant boot from the usb device.

any alternate methods of install?!

I´ve tried to use it´s extensions on the 10.4.4 installation I had and POF! GREY SCREEN OF DEATH (kernel panic) after the "loading Darwin" screen.

how can i partition my startup disk

Would you guys mind if I went ahead and wrote up a detailed guide on how to install Leopard via Boot Camp?

what is the way to install on ibook g4 ppc i dont have external hd but i do have 5g ipod 60gb thanks

i have a mbp and have it partitioned running windows. i want to install leopard, is there a way to add an third partition without losing stuff? i open bootcamp to try to partition again but it only ask to make a mac drivers cd, restore drive to one volume, or start the windows installer.

any clue?

only way i can think of is to use a third party partition utility or try to use a linux live cd and partition it through command line

Ok, i partioned the drive using Boot camp. I now have 20gb free on the other partition. I am done downloading, and I am going to burn using unrarx. Once it is done, do I just stick it in? Will it let me choose which partition to send it to. I am going to leave the computer running for 3 days until I go on vacation, so I will stay seeding.

what's the method for burning leopard to a DL DVD

Could someone be kind to instruct me on how to remove Xcode from the dmg så that I can burn it on a normal DVD?

DalleValle

Open Disk Utility, drag the dmg to Disk Utility, insert the Dual Layer DVD, click on the DMG within disk utility, and click "Burn".

Yes *please* how to remove Xcode and burn to a single layer dvd ?

Is is there any live CD utility for OSX that may allow to format the harddisk with HFS+ ?

I had Ubuntu on the mac mini and now there is no way to install OSX again... :-(

It does not recognizes the harddisk. damn...

This is how i did it (installed on my External HD 250gig)

Made 3 partitions (1: Media 2:Leopard 3:Leopard disk)

So i restored the DMG to the 3th partition en rebooted my mac holding ALT.
The 3th partition showed up as a installation disk and i entered the setup.
Then i selected the second partition and installed leopard on that.

Easy like that!

how do you remove the xcode from the .dmg to burn onto a single layer dvd ? I do not have a external HD !!

how long should this take to unstuff ?
