After my P1510 HDD failure, I've decided to just upgrade the lifebook to P1620, which has Duo Core. I got it used for around $160 on Ebay. And it works very well with Vista.<\/p>\n
Now I'm off to install Mac OS X (iATKOS v7, minimum 6GB - I use 9-10GB) and eventually, a linux distro.: Either Debian or Ubuntu.<\/p>\n
With Mac, I am using the iATKOS of the Hackintosh family. I have tried and failed with version L2 (Lion) at PCI Configuration end during boot installation. So I went with version 7, as per illustrated on a site<\/a>. Thanks to quangdx, whom the following credit goes to:<\/p>\n The first time I installed OSX on my P1610 I used Kalyway 10.5.2, it was pretty successful,<\/em> I do suggest burning the disc at the slowest speed possible to minimise errors on the DVDR.<\/em> MANY MANY THANKS to all that put the work in to make this possible.<\/em><\/p>\n <Preparation><\/em> Downloaded and burned the iAtkos v7 disc image at x2 speed.<\/em><\/p>\n Plug in my external USB DVD rom and put the iAtkos v7 disc in.<\/em> *** Some Updates regarding the installation has been commented below ***<\/span><\/p>\n <Installation><\/em> under utilities menu<\/em> Select the drive in your P1610, then choose the Partition\/Erase<\/span> tab.<\/em> ----<\/em> Agree to the edited iAtkos license agreement,<\/em> -iATKOS v7 Main System<\/em><\/p>\n -Bootloader<\/em> -X86 Patches<\/em> -Drivers<\/em> -Post-Install Actions<\/em><\/p>\n Click Done, then Install<\/em><\/p>\n <Setup><\/em> OSX will start up and you should hear some funky music playing out the speakers,<\/em> <Display><\/em> <Ethernet Networking><\/em> type<\/em> Click on the Apple symbol at the top left, and select Restart<\/em> <Keyboard layout><\/em> <Upgrade to 10.5.8><\/em> <Things that are not working><\/em> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n NOTE:<\/span><\/p>\n After the Mac installation, the Windows Vista BCD was messed up, so thanks to Max<\/a>, I have this solution:<\/p>\n I struggled with this too. After installing Mac, the Vista boot is messed up. To fix it using Vista Recovery Disk, do the following:<\/em><\/p>\n 1) Boot Vista Recovery Disk and got to command prompt.<\/em><\/p>\n 2) Run diskpart, do the following within diskpart<\/em> 3) Fix BCD by running the follow command in the command prompt<\/em> 4) Run diskpart again, this time set the Mac partition as active. Exit diskpart, exit command prompt.<\/em><\/p>\n 5) Reboot!<\/em><\/p>\n Personally I think the installer should fix the mess!<\/em><\/p>\n Max<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Note 2: Defaulting Chameleon bootloader to Windows Vista instead of MacOS. Thanks to Tsosie<\/a>:<\/p>\n You want to change your boot partition default for chameleon 2? If Your disk numbers ascend from 0 to x. Your partitions on the single disk ascend from 1 to x.<\/p>\n Open a terminal in os x<\/p>\n cd \/Library\/Preferences\/SystemConfiguration<\/p>\n vi com.apple.Boot.plist<\/p>\n after any key\/string <\/strong>pairs, enter this pair<\/p>\n <key>Default Partition<\/key><\/p>\n <string>hd(disk number, partition number)<\/string><\/p>\n 05\/23\/2015 Note: I had a hard time figuring this out.

\n but there were a few remaining issues and it was a lot of hard work.<\/em>
\n Quite a few months down the line and much has improved in the world of hackintosh,<\/em>
\n My latest install is with iAtkos v7, which can be found at any good torrent search.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Here is how I installed iAtkos v7 OS X 10.5.7 on my Fujitsu P1610.<\/em>
\n I'm not guaranteeing it will work for you, it's just how I did it.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n -------------<\/em>
\n The very first thing I did was replace the standard Atheros WiFi card in my P1610,<\/em>
\n with a Airport compatible 802.11N Broadcom based WiFi card, that I picked up off eBay.<\/em>
\n No idea if iAtkos v7 supports the original Atheros card as I got rid of ages ago.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Turn on your Fujitsu Lifebook P1610 and at the POST screen hit F2 to enter the BIOS.<\/em>
\n In the BIOS go over to Boot and down to Boot Device Priority.<\/em>
\n in the list of Boot priority order, I removed everything except CD\/DVD drive,<\/em>
\n hit x to remove or add a device to the list.<\/em>
\n Hit F10 to save and exit, then enter to confirm.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n --------------<\/em>
\n Boot from CD\/DVD drive and at the Darwin loader<\/em>
\n press F8 for options and type -v to boot in verbose mode.<\/em>
\n Once the installer loads up<\/em>
\n click the button to continue<\/em><\/p>\n
\n click on Disk Utility<\/em><\/p>\n
\n You could create just one partition if you want just Mac OS X, format it in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n I have mine setup as a dualboot, Mac OS X and Windows XP Tablet.<\/em>
\n So created two equal sized paritions the first being a Mac OS Extended (Journaled)<\/em>
\n the second being (MS-DOS) FAT so I can install Windows XP Tablet to it.<\/em>
\n Once the partitions are created,<\/em>
\n I then install Windows XP Tablet as I normally would, during the XP installation I reformat the FAT partition to NTFS.<\/em>
\n Since it doesn't see the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partition there is no issues here.<\/em>
\n After installing Windows XP, boot from the iAtkos disc again with F8 and typing -v.<\/em>
\n ----<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Select a Destination - click on the Mac OS partiton, then continue<\/em>
\n Install Summary - Customize<\/em>
\n (the following are the options I used, they may not be the best, but they work for me.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\n Once the Install has succeeded, click restart,<\/em>
\n and when you get the Fujitsu POST screen hit F2 to go into the BIOS<\/em>
\n Unplug the USB DVD drive<\/em>
\n Remove the CD\/DVD drive from the Boot priority order,<\/em>
\n and re-add the hard drive Drive0:<\/em>
\n Press F10 to save and exit, then enter to confirm.<\/em>
\n When you get the Chameleon boot screen, push down three times to select Boot Verbose and hit enter.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAfter the update also the GMA950 should work without the arch=x32 boot
\nflag. Important: If the screen gets weird <\/strong><\/u>and unreadable while booting,
\nyou have to press the Fn+F5<\/strong><\/u> twice, magically the screen should be
\ndisplayed properly after that.<\/span>
\n Select Country<\/em>
\n Keyboard<\/em>
\n Dou you already own a mac? - Continue<\/em>
\n Select a wireless Service<\/em>
\n Enter your Apple ID - you can leave it blank and hit Continue<\/em>
\n Registration Information - Alt+Q to skip<\/em>
\n Create Your Account Name and a password<\/em>
\n Select Time Zone<\/em>
\n Set the Date and Time<\/em>
\n Don't Forget to Register - Done<\/em><\/p>\n
\n ---------<\/em>
\n First things first, set the correct screen resolution.<\/em>
\n Click on System preferences, the metallic looking Cogs icon at the bottom<\/em>
\n then under the Hardware heading, Displays.<\/em>
\n select 1280x768 to get the correct resolution.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n ---------------------<\/em>
\n From the menu select Go - Utilities<\/em>
\n then double click on Teminal<\/em>
\n Type the following instructions<\/em>
\n cd \/System\/Library\/Extensions<\/em>
\n sudo nano IONetworkingFamily.kext\/Contents\/PlugIns\/AppleYukon2<\/span>.kext\/Contents\/Info.plist<\/em>
\n it will ask for your password, if you haven't set one, this won't work.<\/em>
\n to set a password type passwd into the terminal screen.<\/em>
\n It will open and display the Info.plist file in the terminal window.<\/em>
\n Hit Ctrl+w then type 0x436211ab<\/em>
\n edit that value to read 0x436311ab by changing the 2 to a 3.<\/em> (Note there are two 0x436211ab, I changed both! but somehow with the new 80gb HDD, Ethernet did not show up - I do not remember what happened prior to the HDD upgrade. Perhaps it's due to the \"mistake\" I made during installation because I opted for ALL Ethernet Network Adapter?<\/span>)
\n the hit Ctrl+o to save, hit enter to confirm the filename,<\/em>
\n then Ctrl+x to exit<\/em><\/p>\n
\n sudo rm -r \/System\/Library\/Extensions.mkext<\/em>
\n then type<\/em>
\n diskutil repairPermissions \/<\/em>
\n Wait for it to finish repairing all the disk permissions.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Once again at the Chameleon Boot Loader screen, press Down 3 times to select Boot Verbose<\/em>
\n When it's all loaded up and you're logged in, load System Preferences<\/em>
\n and under Internet & Network select the Network icon.<\/em>
\n It should now add your ethernet network adapter to the network settings and you click OK then Apply.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n -----------------<\/em>
\n http:\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/forum\/index.php...st&p=767201<\/em>
\n download and install the Microsoft Keyboard layouts,<\/em>
\n once that's done, restart the computer and go into System Preferences and select International.<\/em>
\n Select Input Menu.<\/em>
\n scroll through and check the box for the keyboard you have.<\/em>
\n mine is British - Microsoft.<\/em>
\n Then up in the top right you'll see a little Flag where you can click on to change the keyboard layout.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n -------------------<\/em>
\n Click on the Apple icon, top right, and select Software update,<\/em>
\n uncheck the 10.5.8 update for now, and update everything else.<\/em>
\n once it's all updated and restarted, check for updates again,<\/em>
\n hopefully there is now only the 10.5.8 update left.<\/em>
\n Check that and apply that update, it takes a while,<\/em>
\n but it should restart a couple of times and you'll now have 10.5.8 running on your P1610.
\nDon't forget to repair the Ethernet again as described above in the <Ethernet Networking> section.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n
\n -----------------------------<\/em>
\n Touchscreen, Buttons on the screen bezel, SD card reader.<\/em>
\n I don't think I'm going to be able to get the Touchscreen to work,<\/em>
\n as the P1610 uses a serial touchscreen controller, which there doesn't seem to be any support for.<\/em>
\n Again the same for the buttons on the screen bezel, no support.<\/em>
\n But I reckon with a bit more hunting around I should be able to get the SD card reader working. Hopefully.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\n 2.2: select the disk with your vista\/mac installation using command \"select disk N\", where N is the disk number.<\/em>
\n 2.3: run command \"list partition\" to show your partitions<\/em>
\n 2.4: select vista (<\/em>Important Note: in the case of Win 7, choose the boot partition, which is usually the first one, usually 100-200MB, not the main win7 partition<\/span>) partition using command \"select partition M\", where M is your vista partition<\/em>
