Can't install Mac OS X.4.5

Hello everybody.
I have a problem. i wanted to install Mac OS X on my hard drive again, because i wanted to install the newest firmware update, which isn't possible under linux.
I have the following disk setup:
Disk /dev/sda: 80,0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 20,5kB 210MB 210MB fat32 primär boot
2 210MB 1210MB 1000MB ext3 primär
3 1210MB 17,0GB 15,8GB ext3 primär
4 17,0GB 24,0GB 7000MB ext3 primär
5 24,0GB 32,0GB 8000MB ext3 primär
6 32,0GB 55,0GB 23,0GB primär
7 66,0GB 76,0GB 10,0GB hfs+ primär
8 76,0GB 78,0GB 2000MB ext3 primär
9 78,0GB 80,0GB 2026MB primär
As far as you can see i want to install Mac OS X on disk0s7. But the installation program refuses to install Mac Os X. It stops after the "Prepare Disk" (German text is "Festplatte vorbereiten" phase. No logs, nothing. I use the original CD/DVDs, that where delivered with the MacBook Pro (Label say 10.4.5)
Any ideas?

How can i install Mac OS on toshiba intel celeron satellite L450-9P

can i install Mac OS on in Windows 7? for dual-boot purpose

But you can install Windows on a Mac via Bootcamp for dual boot.
For the purposes of Windows®, a Mac is just a generic piece of PC hardware, so installing on to it is permitted by Microsoft's EULA. On the other hand, Apple have explicitly stated in the EULA for OS X "Mountain Lion" that it should only be installed and run on Apple-branded hardware. Section 2, Paragraph B, Sub-section 1:
you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license […] to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer…
(emphasis mine)
Section 2, Paragraph H:
The grants set forth in this License do not permit you to, and you agree not to, install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-branded computer, or to enable others to do so.
Also, discussion of how to run OS X on non-Apple branded hardware is against these forums' Use Agreement, Section 2 Paragraph 8, including Sub-section 1:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
This thread'll be reported by someone if any salient advice is offered that enables the OP in his endeavour.

Can I install Mac OS X 10.5 on a Powerbook G4 already running Mac OS X 10.6? I lost my disc of 10.6 and can only find my 10.5 disc as I'm selling my MacBook and wiping the hard drive for a complete reset.

A PowerBook G4 can't run Snow Leopard OS 10.6, however, it can run Leopard OS 10.5. But you must use a retail (black) Leopard install DVD.
What does the selling of your MacBook have to do with installing Leopard on your PowerBook?

Can I install Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 on a dell Optiplex Gx280?

Hi! I have a couple of questions which I can't seem to find the answers too.
1) Can I install Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 on a Dell Optiplex GX280?
2) Can I take the HDD from the aforementioned Dell and place it in my Power Mac G4 Digital Audio? If so, will Tiger still be on it?
3) If I can't install Tiger on my Dell, can I rip the DVD drive out and use that to install?
4) HDD's don't have to be Mac specific, do they?
Thank you for your valuable time,

Can't install mac os x on macbook pro anymore(now i have windows 7 on it)

Hi,
I have a macbook pro, there was mac os x 10.6.4 on it, after that I installed windows 7 on it, because i wanted a clean instal, but I couldn't because a kernel panic when i booted from the dvd mac os x 10.5(that I received when i bought the macbook pro), I also have a 10.6 snow leopard dvd. So I installed windows 7.
Now I can't install mac os x because of the kernel panic, I also tried a lot of dvd that i borrowed from friends, and I also bought a new mac os x snow leopard dvd ...
the error is just: you need to restart your computer.....
I tried also some key combinations on startup like: Command-Option-P-R keys,Command-Option-O-F,startup from dvd: pressing C on startup, pressing D on startup,pressing option on startup.
I searched evrywhere but didnt found a solution
Nothing helped so can someone help me please?
Now i have just a windows 7, i realy want mac os x back, its a lot easier in the class...
PS: I am a noob, so dont explain it hard please

You are just throwing things that have no bearing and can cause trouble, there is no Open Firmware, Intel based Macs use EFI, OF was part of the older G4/G5 and PowerMacs.
Unplug everything but keyboard and boot from 10.6 DVD.
Boot from Windows 7 DVD if you want and instead of installing, format the entire hard drive as NTFS and then try OS X DVD.
But first and foremost.... where is your backups? do you have OS X on external drive? how about putting OS X on external hard drive?
And you're sure this is a kernel panic? a prohibitory sign maybe?

Can I install Mac OS 10.4.7 CD's meant for an imac intel chip (Jan 2007)??

Can I install Mac OS 10.4.7 CD's that came from an imac intel chip (Jan 2007) ONTO an ibook power pc G3? The ibook only has a CD drive and I believe the OS installs are CD's not DVD's as there are 2 of them. The ibook currently is running OS 10.3.9 with 23 GB on the HD at the moment. I may be able to free up some space though by dumping Microsoft Office. I know for sure I had 10.4.7 on there before but I got a used HD and there is only 10.3.9 on it. Sigh.

Nope, sorry wont work, those are Machine & Architecture specific Install Discs.

Start your Mac while holding the X key down. That should force your Mac to start using the OS X partition.

Can I install Mac OS X Lion on an external FireWire800 drive?

Can I install Mac OS X Lion on an external FireWire drive? I have bought a Lion Thumb Drive. I'd like to install Lion on the FW drive and then boot from there. The FW drive is a brand-new LaCie D2 Quadra 2 TB drive that has FW 800, 400, USB, and esATA connectivity. Can't find any manual describing how to do this. Any help appreciated. The more detail, the better. Thanks.

Yes, you can. When you run the installer you will get to a screen where you will see the default target drive, usually "Macintosh HD." Under the icon you will see a link to display other drives. Click on that so you will see the external drive you have connected. Select that then continue the installation.
For simplicity connect the drive using FW800.

Can I install Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6?

I have a Apple iBook G4 (mid 2005) running Mac OS X Tiger. Can I install Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 on this Mac or can you only install Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 on Macs that are already running Leopard?

Hi Leet ...
If you have an OS X Leopard install disk of any type,
That not fully correct ... to install OS X Leopard yuo will need full retail DVD or CD. These are the Black ones with a Big X on it.
Be care full by providing information that could corse issues or even damages on a Mac.
See you on the board ...

Can I install Mac OS X version 10.5 on my Power PC G5 Tan Tower?

Can I install Mac OS X version 10.5 on my PowerPC G5 Tan Tower, with a single 1.6 processor, 4 GB DDR SDRAM. I am running version 10.4.11 and want to update to 10.5
I also need to know where I can find the software to buy, they don't seem to have it in the apple store.

You really should check things out first before speaking.
Here are the requirements for 10.5;
Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard requires:
A Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or Power PC G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor
512 MB memory or more
A DVD drive for installation
9 GB of available disk space or more
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider, fees may apply.
Some features require Apple's MobileMe service; fees apply.

Yes, assuming you have enough disk space, you can install 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, and 10.7 Lion. If you want to upgrade to 10.7 Lion, I'd recommend a memory upgrade to at least 4GB.

You should contact the vendor, and request a refund, or an exchange for a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD.
If that is not an option, advise if you would like purchasing information.
Be sure not to, again accept grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
If your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.

Can i Install Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 /10.6 ?

Hello guys,
I've bought about 3 weeks ago an iPhone 3G. Since i have my iPhone i like to produce software for the iPhone with the developers kit from apple. But i have one problem. I have an Acer Aspire notebook with:
4GB memory
Intel Processor (2,2 GHZ)
Ati Videocard
Windows Vista Premium
Can i Install Mac OSX on this notebook ? Maybe with dual boot.
Best Regards,
Theodoor de Wit

A slightly different perspective from what others have already posted:
Even assuming there were no licensing/legal problems with this & you could somehow successfully hack the OS & SDK to install & run on your Acer, would you really want to try to use that as a development platform for iPhone apps? It would be like trying to build a sturdy house on an uncertain foundation: you would never know if or when the whole thing might collapse or how to tell if the fault was in what you built or not.
If you want to develop for the iPhone, invest in a Mac. If you are any good at it, judging from the success stories you could quickly & easily make back the cost of that investment & much more. Even if you don't, you will have a very well made & supported computer running what is arguably the most stable & user-friendly OS on the planet.
