To recap: I had managed to Get OS X on here before and there was a lot of stuff that never worked (such as Wireless, PCMCIA, Sound Inputs and so forth) and I reverted it back to Windows as I knew everything worked when in that mode. Recently I had a think about this and went for Plan B. I had already used the Toshiba DVD to restore the machine to XP (I choose this over Vista for now) and updated to death – at this point I have not put anything else on there. I grabbed Partition magic 8.05 and split the drive into 2 Halves – leaving Xp with its 80 GIG to play with and an Unformatted 72 GIG Primary Partition.
I had to disable in the Bios Dual core and this allowed the Kalyway 10.5.2 to Boot otherwise it crashed and burned. Once I had selected everything I needed, it rebooted and I had a Blue Screen but I could hear the Start up music. I had to connect a 2nd Monitor at this stage to continue setting it up. I put on the 10.5.3 Update plus the 9.3 modbin Kernels and rebooted. I already had ready the Intel GMA950 Fix which not only sorts out the resolution (to allow more then 1024×768) but makes the screen on the laptop come on without needing a second screen.
Finally – went through putting on iLife, Office 2008 and various other programs and made it into a workable Mac Laptop. I went into the BIOS and switched back on Dual CPU and the Machine Booted fine. What we ended off with was as follows:
* Windows XP Pro with SP3 with everything on the Laptop Working such as Card Reader, Wireless and Sound.
* Leopard 10.5.3 Fully working at 1280×800 (native res of screen) with all Update son there.
* Wireless Does not work in Leopard but I am not bothered about this.
* Sound works but no Line in (MIC) – Can use a WebCam Mic for this.
* PCMCIA does not work (I think)
This now Allows me to have the best of Both worlds, when I need the entire Hardware such as Wireless etc – then I can crank up XP and use that – I can boot the Apple mode when I need to do anything else.
