One option would be to install using vmWare while in windows, but its quite a pain to figure out if your not familiar with it. Good luck.

Or do i necessarly have to burn it to dvd and boot from it?? THX Yes, worked like a charm here with 10.4.4. (non-prepatched version) Just setup your VMWare machine, add your native HDD with the option independent/persistance, and try to mount the image directly, and if that does not work, mount it via daemon tools. I did not even had to convert the dmg to iso, I just mounted the dmg and bang. Showed up as a disk in VMWare. So I just doubleclicked it and voila. Maybe it will work with the prepatched bootable DVD, too. Dunno, you'll have to check it out, but VMWare is the way to go. //edit: confirmed http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=10964 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10914-install-macos-x-from-a-mounted-image-with-daemon-tool/#findComment-68838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
