Esore242 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I want to install OS X Mavericks on my PC. I know that it's compatible... it's just a matter of installing it. So I wanted to know if I could somehow use my external hard drive to boot into the installation media, and then if I could install from that media on a separate partition on the same external hard drive. I downloaded the Niresh ISO and burned it to an HFS formatted partition, and I made a chameleon boot usb. I booted into chameleon and selected the install partition. It just REBOOTED. Then it would boot back into Chameleon. And it kept doing this until I selected to boot into my Windows Partition. Please help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help!! it's not the perfect solution you're looking for,but you can install a boot manager i.e. rEFInd on your machine manually using windows,and re-install your OSX (won't say its name since people can't seem to resist making unnecessary flame wars about it) on your external drive. if you want windows on it too,install that first. m$ is picky with unix projects.
