How to install Mac OSX 10.4.6 on a PC [Dual Boot]

Posted by R. MAK. 28 July, 2008

There are only two ways to install OSX 10.4.6 legally on your Windows computer:

1. Become an Apple developer

2. You can also buy an Intel Mac (I would recommend the Macbook Pro), install Windows XP on it using Apple’s Boot Camp and remove OSX completely, so that you have a legally bought osx86 licence.

This method isn’t confirmed and some most people also contend that it’s illegal because the EULA says that you aren’t allowed to install OSX on non-Apple hardware.

This means that for most people it is ILLEGAL to install OSX on their computer. If you aren’t an Apple developer, leave this page or site now. ixibo is in no way liable or responsible for the actions of its visitors.( we have posted this information just for Apple Developers and for education purpose only) osx

That Shit being said now all you need:

1. A pre-patched OSX 10.4.6 install image
2. An empty DVD Recordable (+R or –R, NO Rewritable!)
3. At least 6 GB free space.
4. spfdisk (which you can download here

http://spfdisk.sourceforge.net/Spf2K3rE.exe

5. Acronis Disk Director Suite

Now Follow this procedure:

1. Get an prepatched OSX 10.4.6 install image.

2. Burn the image to an empty dvd recordable (+R or –R)  Use your favourite burn program for this (I recommend Nero Burning Rom or Alcohol 120%)

3. Create at least 6GB unallocated space on your harddisk using Partition Magic:

  1. Start partition Magic
  2. Click on ‘Resize/Move Partition
  3. Move the slider to make the partition smaller and hit OK
  4. Click on ‘Apply’
  5. Close Partition Magic

4. Click ‘START > Run…’ and type ‘diskpart’ (without quotes)

  1. Type in (press enter after you typed in a line): list disk
  2. Select disk [the number of your disk
  3. Create partition primary id=af

5. Close the command window.

6. Make sure you have a bootable disk with fdisk (I recommend spfdisk), so that you can change your active partition if it goes wrong! Also: After this step you can’t use your computer for up to 1 hour!

To install spfdisk just insert a formatted diskette and open the exe file

7. Click ‘START > Run…’ and type ‘diskpart’ (without quotes)

8. Type in (press enter after you typed in a line):

  • list disk
  • select disk [the number of your disk]
  • list partition
  • select partition [the number of your osx partition]
  • set active

9. Insert the OSX install disk and reboot your computer, follow the installation steps on your screen.

10. Boot into Windows.

11. Install Acronis Disk Director Suite, install the OS selector.

12. Start OS selector, configure (follow on screen steps) it and restart your computer.

13. After the last reboot you should see a nice dual boot menu and should be able to boot OSX.
