Gday all, this guide is written by my mate, I have OSX86 running perfectly on both my home PC's, but here is his guide for getting it running and the methods he used for his Laptop.

Disclaimer perform this at your own risk.

Hi everyone,

This has taken me 24 hours to produce a method that I believe is stable.

This method is very simple and does not need to take a lot of time, you must follow the steps exactly for it to work.

Make a VGA dongle, I couldn’t find any 75ohm resistors so I wired pin 1 to 6 and 2 to 12, this works fine. My first dongle had wires coming out the back , I decided to make the dongle as sleek as possible, it started by making the dongle look like this



Here's the link to a website with instructions for a dongle with resistors:

http://tvtool.info/go.htm?http://tvtool.in...ish/dummy_e.htm

the next step was to get those ends as flat and stealth like as possible, I soldered the pins then sanded them right back:




and then I put some basic electrical tape (not final) over the back so make it look a little less obvious:



Do not connect the dongle yet.

Now to the fun part.

Wipe your hard disk completely, backup what you must but this work best if its clean.
Install XP fist and foremost.
At the screen I chose to create a 28 gig partition for XP. I installed this using NTFS, I left my other 25 gig partition in unused space.
Install XP all the way through until you are actually running XP. Drive C will be your primary.
Go into Administrator tools>Comp Management>Disk Management and create a partition on the other 25 gig partition that was previously unused space. Make sure you create this new partition as a PRIMARY PARTITION. DO NOT assign a drive letter to this and then I formatted it to FAT32.
Reboot with OSX 86 Bootable DVD in drive (8F1111).

OSX Time
Do not connect the dongle yet.
Connect a 2nd monitor to the output of your laptop.
Install OSX, your monitor will be your primary display (this cannot be helped)
Use Disk Utility to wipe the FAT32 partiton and make it a Mac Journaled one.
Install OSX all the way through.
The primary display will still be the extrenal monitor.
Install the new 915 Kext files as explained here: (download link for the already modified .kext files is at the bottom, proceed from step 10 as the instructions state)

Set your display to Mirror, then reboot with your dongle IN.
You will now be booting to OSX automatically and not plugged in to an external monitor.

To make the Dual Boot Menu usable for your laptop – All I did was this

In OSX:
Load Terminal and do the following:


Add these lines of type to the bottom below the other key/strings:



this allows you to press any key at startup to select your OS


then ….YOU ARE DONE!


Here are two videos that I made, one when OSX was booting by itself with the dongle, the other a Dual Boot Demo
