HP tx2000Z OS X86 Leopard 10.5.2 First MAC TABLET !

kingryan04 asked:


Update::::4/16/08

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.

In this article we will throw light when you had faced that slap your head moments on how to Recover Deleted Files when you have emptied the recycle bin OR pressed (shift+del) to permanently delete the file. Fortunately, the data is not completely lost and it will remain on your hard disk until something overwrites it. You may be concerned that you won’t be able to retrieve those important data but there is an answer for you, stop what you are doing and call in the data recovery experts.

These are the noises that come when the motor, electronic boards or magnetic platters get damaged due to any electric failure or a head crash. Alternately, the drive might also refuse to spin and results in inaccessible data.

2. Accidental deletion and overwriting is one of the main reason of data loss that more often happens. This event occurs when you overwrite any existing data or emptied the recycle bin. This is the data loss event of human error category.

3. Data loss may also occur due to Operating System failure. Operating system is system software that manages the hardware and enables its communication with software.

The operating system corruption may results in cross linked files, lost clusters, file system corruption or invalid file directories. In this situation, strange error messages get generated or many files may get corrupted.

4. Virus attack can be another reason of data loss.

5. Data can also be lost due to some technical defect of failure of some software running on the computer.

recover data
Recover Data asked:


There is nothing more frustrating than losing your important documents which you’ve created spending precious time. You might have heard the term “Data Recovery” if you are somewhere related with this circumstance. The Concise meaning of the term is to extracting lost, deleted data from damaged, failed, corrupted, or inaccessible hard drives when it cannot be accessed normally with the help of various Data Recovery Software available in the market which is capable of recovering data which has been lost due to many reasons.

Reasons of Data Loss

Data Loss is a fatal situation in which you cannot get access to your important data which has been stored on your hard drives. This data can be your Business Documents, Music files, Personal Pictures and important Emails or anything. What’s the reason for such loss and what steps do we take to overcome to this situation? This Question will come to your mind first when your hard drive gets corrupted.

Before proceeding to the preventions we should first take a look to some of the major causes which led to certain stage of disaster.

Major Reasons of Data Loss

• Virus Attacks – “Virus Attacks increases at the rate of nearly 300-500 new Trojans and viruses every month”. In daily life you are at an ever-increasing risk to become infected with a virus. To prevent yourself against a viral threat is to install an Anti-virus program on your system and scan it regularly to keep yourself update whether your system is infected.

• Hardware or System Problems – When powering on your computer you might hear clicking, buzzing, scrapping and ratting sounds. These are the noises that come when the motor, electronic boards or magnetic platters get damaged due to any electric failure or a head crash. Alternately, the drive might also refuse to spin and results in inaccessible data.

• Human Error – Accidental deletion and overwriting is one of the main reason of data loss that more often happens. This event occurs when you overwrite any existing data or emptied the recycle bin. This is the data loss event of human error category.

• Software Malfunction – Data can also be lost due to some technical defect of failure of some software running on the computer.

• Natural Disaster – Natural disaster can have devastating effect on the physical drive. Data Recovery Software rescued data from fires, floods, lightening strikes and subsequent power surges. The best way to prevent your important data from the arrival of such an unpredictable event is to keep the backup of your documents once in a week.

These are the main five reasons of data loss, from which you should be aware of to avoid your valuable data from being lost. You can prevent yourself from such situation by taking some simple and easy steps.

Ways to Prevent Data Loss

Here I will recommend you some major points to prevent against Data Loss:

• Back-up important data regularly – Using CDs or even an external USB hard drive for data storage can potentially save you from having to hire a data recovery service to perform hard drive data recovery on your hard drive or RAID server.

• Install some sort of Anti-Virus – Viruses infects your computer by reading an infected e-mail, by sharing an infected file and by visiting websites that take advantage of security flaws to compromise and destroy your data.

• Placement of your computer system – Keep your computer system in safe, dry and dust free area to prevent physical damage to the computers.

• Use power surge protectors – A power surge is one of the most common occurrences that can damage your data and potentially cause a hard drive failure.

• Shut down your computer – Always close your programs before shutting down your computer. If you just turn off your computer without properly closing your files, you run the risk of loosing your data.

Conclusion

Trust your data on professionals not hawkers. Do not wait for the worst to happen just call in the professional or choose Do-it–yourself Data recovery Software by searching the terms like “Data Recovery, Data Recovery Software” on the Google toolbar.

Deleting hard drive without recovery?

hard drive recovery
Sam asked:

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?
