mab538 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hey. I need some help. I just got a new Inspiron 1720 (GMA 965 I believe). I want to put the iAtkos version of leopard on it. I have a 10GB recovery drive. Is this too small? I have an external drive for files so the 10Gig would only be OS and programs? I digress... So here's my problem. I boot from the DVD and I see the grey apple screen. The blue background of the installer program then flashes and the screen turns off. I've tried a variety of boot flags (CPU=1, ACPI=off, platform=x86pc, legacy (which I'm not totally sure of what that does but I tried it anyway). I've used them in different combinations to no avail. If the answer sadly turns out that I can't run leopard can I put tiger on this? Or would it be the same problem? Right now I have 10.4.8 running on my old Inspiron 600m. Sorry about the rambling here. I really appreciate any input. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonty! Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hi There! Leopard requires only 5-8GB depending on what options you choose. Did you check the disk status in Disk Utility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
