How to install Mac OS X Leopard on your PC !!!!!!



Recently I've seen a video on youtube which made me spit on my PC. Hey, lets face it...Mac is a lot more fun than the boring old Windows. But the thing is, Windows completely destroys Mac when it comes to gaming. That's why most of the smart mac owners uses Mac OS X for their daily work and Windows for gaming. Now we can't just be forced to stick with Windows just because we have a custom built PC. And I don't want to talk about Linux cause it's just shit. Its is and it will be until Google Chrome OS comes out. So get ready noobs cause we are about install Mac OS X Leopard on a PC. Now if you don't know what OS X Leopard is, its the Operating System of a Macintosh computer and that's what makes mac so popular. And unlike Apple Inc. some awesome Hackers managed to run it on a normal Intel or AMD based PC.

Before we get started, here's what you need-
1) A fresh Blank DVD ready to be burned.
2) A DVD Burner (or you can just burn it from somewhere else I don't really care.)
3) Internet Connection.
4) A cup of Coffee cause its going to take a while.

Now, you need to download the OS from a torrent site. NOTE: I'm going to show you how to install iAtkos v1.0i so google it and if your still confused, it is recommended to download this torrent iAtkos v1.0i.
So, grab this file, pop in the blank disc and burn it up. Don't say you can't burn a bootable DVD. This video is for super noobs who can't even burn a bootable DVD- iAtkos v7 DVD Burn


Prepare for the installation.....

Once you've downloaded the torrent, pop in the bootable disc which you've just burned.Make sure you already selected the boot device priority to your DVD rom. Now, its going to promt you to press any key to load the darwinX86 bootloader, do it and the installer will come up. Now it will ask you to press any key again so, make sure you do that. There you go......The Welcome Screen is here. Don't think your done yet!!! Before you click Continue, cause that's where noobs like you put themselves in trouble. Put your eyeballs at the top of the screen and over there you can see Utilities, click it and then Disk Utilities. Now you'll see a list of your partitions on your Hard Disk. Select one and then format it in the format 'Mac OS X Journaled' and name it as 'Mac OS X Leopard' then close Disk Utilities. Now what you have to do is to go to Terminal. In order to do that, click Utilities and then terminal. You'll see a black MS-DOS like thing where you can type stuff. This is where you write all the commands, so at first, just type 'diskutil list' and then Enter. Now your going to see a list of partitions that are on your Hard Disk. So just look for the a partition where its written 'Apple_HFS Mac OS X....' and on the left side of this text you will see the number of your partition so just keep it in mind. Close the terminal window, and open up a new one. So, just click on 'Shell' on the top of your screen and click 'New Window'. And on the new Terminal Window type 'fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0' Enter. And on the next line type 'flag (and then the number of the partition which you memorized earlier)' . So just for example- 'flag 3'.
Enter. Then type 'update'.On the next line it will give you a warning so just type 'y'-Enter. Now it will ask you to reboot but you don't have to do that, so just quit the terminal and on the main screen go to 'Utilities' and then 'Darwin Boot'. Now type '1' as your HDD number,-Enter and the number you memorized earlier as the partition number, for example '3'-Enter. On the next line for the boot efi, type 'y'-Enter. And then again 'y'-Enter. Now when it says [process completed] just close it. Finally you can click 'continue' on the main screen. And then select the partition and click continue.Now, don't click install yet click customize . Now on the customize window, the first one has to be checked, then expand 'additional patches' and check 'EFI Emulation'. Then check 'drivers' and click Done. Click install and there you go.....your done!!!. Well, the installation process is going to take a little while so just watch TV at that time.

Note: After the installation while you are customizing for the first time...it may freeze up on the "Do You Already Own A Mac?" section. Well then what you have to do is just reboot our PC and that should solve the problem.

I hope you enjoy using your " Mac " lol : )

  2. I followed every single step until I get to the "Do you Already Own a Mac?" section. As the instruction says to reboot, so I reboot by holding down the power button. After rebooting, there a box that appeared with a message that says, "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button." It goes on and on as I am rebooting my computer. It is a DELL Vostro 1015, Intel Core2 Duo and 4GB RAM. How can I solve this problem? Any suggestion?

  10. Hi, everything went ok. The os was installed sucessfully and then i restarted my pc but while restarting it stucks at a black screen and the is a white underscore going on and off. Now that happens if I take off the dvd.
    If i leave it in the computer then it just starts, it reaches the point where the apple screen appears and then the computer restarts! Any ideas?

    And added, I haven't installed yet, I wanted to know that is there any hardware restrictions on this? As for installing hackintosh we have to have max of 4 GB RAM.. Is there any such restrictions on this? And will the bluetooth of my laptop work after installation, if yes, with what devices, apple or any?
