How To Install OS X on IdeaPad S10
In this post, you can get the tips installing OS X on the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 to make it has all the makings for a potentially great MacBook. But first you need to have a copy of the MSIWindosx86.iso distribution and an external USB DVD drive to boot the ISO form
Here are the following steps:
- Connect external USB DVD drive to the IdeaPad S10 and place the MSIWindOSX.iso DVD into the drive.
- Boot up the S10 and make sure it boot from USB DVD drive
- Boot from the DVD ISO and wait a minute or so. You’ll see some text run by and then the Apple OS X setup dialog box.
- Once you see the Welcome screen, bring up Disk Utility by selecting the menu item Utilities -> Disk Utility. Now select the hard drive you want to install OS X onto and create a new partition. Once the partition created, exit the Disk Utility.
- Now that the partition is ready, go back to the setup and continue the install.
- When the setup finishes, the netbook will reboot and you’ll see the OS X welcome animation and the initial setup screens. In case you’re facing up the problem of sending back to the beginning of the animated Welcome splash screens. You need to bypass the entire setup. Here’s how to bypass the setup portion:
a. Switch on the IdeaPad S10
b. Boot OS X with the “-s” option
c. Type the following commands:
“/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /”
d. Change directory to the following location
“cd /Volumes/
e. Create an empty “.AppleSetupDone” file by typing:
“touch .AppleSetupDone”
f. Create your root password
“passwd“
g. Select exit.
Now you can log in as root using the password you created and create a new user account. Until this step, you might find some devices won’t work properly. It’s okay, you can fix them next.
