Since Iv posted this, its gotten quite a few views (more than I expected), so I feel their is a good deal of interest in people doing this mod themselves. It gotten alot easier since I first did itso here are the simplified instructions (faily tx2000z specific):
1)Make a partition ~10gb
2) Restart computer with LEO4ALL DVD, so much easier than the zepherous DVD for the tx series.
3) Press f9 to boot from cd, choose boot from cd
4)It will start to load and then stop, slide the power button once or twice, it will continue.
5)When you get into the install screen, go to disk utility (somewhere at the top) and choose your 10gb partition and erase it and change it to a journaled partition.
6)Exit that and continue with install, choose correct partition but go to settings/options.
7)Choose AMD patcher and anything else you think will work (nothing else really worked for me).
8)install.
9)Pretty good chance it wont boot when you restart. You need to insert your windows recovery cd and fix the boot order. You may have to go to command line and make your first windows partition active using disk part (google for instructions)to be able to fix the boot order.
9)reboot and you can choose to boot into windows or NST MAC of something like that. Windows should work and choosing mac and the the second or third partition option on the next screen should boot you into mac.****
**** You may have trouble setting mac up. This at least means your close. If it goes into a setup loop, just type “Graphics Mode”=”640x480x32″. It should change the resolution and bypass the setup screen. You only have to do that once and it auto setsup and root account.
You’re done.

This too me forever to get running. As alot of people know, a few gurus have been working hard to get Leopard running on regular PCs. You usually have to have special hardware (like specific motherboards etc). However after many many hours of work I got it to run on the super propriatary HP TX2000Z. It is HPs new tablet, and it makes it the first tablet MAC that Iv seen anywhere!!!!
I followed the Nihilist guide (which looks to have been taken down). I installed to my desktop which was much easier (becuase its custom built with hardware that is compatible). After you do one or two of these installs then you may try one on a brand name laptop. All laptopo are different too, some much easier and other impossible. Anyway whats different from this pc from you average laptop install is the following:
1) You need to press f9 in bios startup to choose boot from cd everytime you startup from the install iso.
2) I had to use the zepheryth (spelling?) ISO becuase this was a AMD install which is a modified kalyway disk. You may have to try several time to get a working install because there are several configs to choose from. Make sure you install darwin boot loader if vista is already installed.
3) When the disk is first booting (after you told the bios to boot from cd), you MAY need to slide the power button on the laptop over to get it reading from the disk. Its weird but is a sata pata hdd controller issue. Im not sure why it works, i figured it out on accident becuase i was giving up and trying to turn my laptop off.
3) Once everything is installed you may have to lower the resolution the first time to get the OS X to boot because this will disable the setup mode. You have to disable setup to avoid ‘transferring from tiger’ unless you have an old tiger setup readliy available. NOTE: i also had to command line it to think the install was already completed. I had to google for instructions on how to do this, was tough to find.
Anyway all of this is from memory from a month ago, good luck. Let me know if you get it working! Also…sadly my install stopped working when i tried to Nject drivers for nvidea. Dont do that unless you know more than i did about it! Dont have the patientce to get it working again.

I recently sold my computer through an auction site. Before it was sold I formatted the drives, then ran clean disk security (a hard drive deleter) many times (over 35 passes I believe). I then tested it to see if I could recover any files with programs I got over download.com and retrieved nothing. Tested it by deleting a file, then ran the recovery programs, and that file showed up; ran clean disk security and i could no longer recover it.
Would you say that my personal information is safe from the person I sold it to? Would there be any way for them to realistically retrieve my old files? Such as taking it to a data recovery center or tech support guys. Or do these cleaners really knock everything out?
Note: I remember finding something on the drive though – it was a folder of zeros that werent very big in file size.
Robert – yes, it’s already gone.
Adnan – so data recovery centers should be able to retrieve the files even though the drives free space was over written after formatting? I know it’s probably unlikely that the buyer would get data recovered for that price, but still knowing that all of my conversations with loved ones, credit card information and account passwords are there it makes me uneasy. My life was on that computer.
RC – how sure are you of that?
i accidentally wiped everything from my hardrive with drive scrubber even the operating system and put a system recovery disk in and my computer was useable again, i tried to put windows xp professional disk in it and it wouldnt work so i had to order a system recovery disk from the factory which took a month why wouldnt the windows xp professional disk work but the recovery disk worked just fine.
