Tell us what hardware it has so we could tell anything. Need to know at least cpu, chipset, gfx card.

How do you install OS X on the Acer Aspire 4730Z

Can you simply load OS X on the Aspire? Or does this require a hack?

Any ideas on how to get the drivers to work?

thanks,

Rangerdon

Installing

I have iatkos v7 installed almost no issues. Only complication was I had to buy a dell 1505 wifi card which really wasn't that bad. Other than that have had no issues with OS X runs just as good if not better than a macbook pro. If you have any questions about drivers just reply to this post

Hi Stan,

How did you able to install the iatkos v7 on Aspire 4730z I need help. I have the same model and for a week i was trying to install iatkos_v7 and I could not get the installer to run.

The first attempt I tried I was getting "still waiting for root device" errors but I got pass that error using this boot flags rd=disk0. Right now I have CPU kernel Vodoo panic when using that boot flag rd=disk0 it says nfs_boot failed..

I am assuming that nfs is for network file system so I turned off the network boot on the bios but still got the same error.

what's your boot parameter when you installed the iatkos_v7 can you let me know please.

anyone please help.
