Experimenting with Leopard on PC
January 05, 2008 18:42
Encouraged by some little experiments with a MacBook I decided to try to install Leopard on my PC. I followed the steps described here
and though it seemed easy at the beginning it ended not so good.
After trying several times without success I decided to reinstall Vista on my machine using the recovery DVD that came with the computer.
Easier to say than do. It seems that the disk is corrupted and I had no luck using it.
I contacted hp support (I bought my laptop from HP) in order to see how I can solve this problem. They said I have to pay for another copy of the recovery DVD if I want to get it fast. If I wanted it for free I have to wait 10 days!!!
My conclusion: HP sucks! It doesn’t matter that I already paid for a recovery disk, it doesn’t matter that they sent a broken disk, I should pay for it again. Morons.
And here is a screenshot of the recovery application.

If I where you I'd download a copy from a website since you already own a license for Vista, it's legit. Good luck, experience problems, mail me.

That's what I finally did but the thing that bothered me was that the hp support was so lousy. Eventually they managed to speed up the process. I got a call from a case manager who said that the people from the support center couldn't send the recovery disk faster but he could do that. In the end it took about 3 days to arrive. And they sent 2 copies to make sure at least one of them will work:) I haven't tested any of them yet.
