Which software is required?

[jp0933]

What exactly do I need to install this? I see different version numbers being tossed around. I'm just not sure what I need to get started. Also, what is VMWare? If someone could explain this it would be great. What are these...

 

Mac OSx86 'Deadmoo' image

Marklar-Tiger.dmg

VMWare files for patched Mac OS X Tiger Intel

 

Sorry for the simple questions. THanks

Firstly search for "Mac OS X 10.4.4/5 osx86 Patched Bootable DVD" in Pirate Bay and download it. The exact name is "Mac OS X 10.4.4/5 osx86 Patched Bootable DVD".

Its a 4.35GB iso file so it's gona take a while.

 

I got the info to download that here:

http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=10614

 

But basically you don't need to view the page as long as you can find the download.

 

Then I followed the following guide. I didn’t need to use Partition Magic as I already had unpartitioned space on my 250Gb drive. Most people don’t. So you need to know how to use Partition Magic. I never needed to so don’t still.

Shortened the quote a little below:

1. Have Partition Magic (version 8 prefered)

 

2. have space as much as you can I allocated 60GB to OS X 20GB for win XP and 500GB for XP as well but OS X reads (read only )NTFS just fine so 500GB is readable by both OS's

 

3.1st run partition magic and create (or resize) as much free space as you can after your windows partition and before any extended partition (thus creating 2 primary partitions) it is Crucial that the allocated non-formated space be AFTER the windows partition make sure the space is marked as Unallocated space

 

4. press apply and if required reboot to make the changes.

 

5. when done boot normally and click start then run type in "diskpart" (no quotes) press enter

 

6. type "list disk" press enter

 

7. type "select disk 0" press enter (if you are installing to same drive as windows)

 

8. type "list part" press enter you will notice you do not see the empty space you made in Partition magic

 

9. type "create partition primary id=af" then press enter

 

10. type "list part" press enter now you will see the the new partition OS X will be installed on.

 

11. type "exit" press enter

 

Burn the "MacOSX_10.4.4DVD patched 10.4.4.iso" with Nero choose burn image in nero from the recorder menu (I used Nero 7.0.1.4) (I tried Alcohol 120% but it said it wouldn't fit although Nero didn't care)

 

boot off the DVD..

 

once you get to the part where OS X asks where you want to install you must launch the Disk Utility to erase the partition you created earlier

once done OS X installs fine

 

not on the release i have it has an AMD enabler and booting failed if you didn't customize the install and uncheck the AMD enabler.

 

once installed enjoy. the Darwin Boot Loader defaults to OSX but if a key is pressed within 10 seconds it lets you boot to what ever drive Windows is on.

 

That’s it basically. I got into problems during the installation part. The DVD would load but the installation wouldn’t begin. And although we got a load of here, it seem NO ONE IS WILLING TO HELP.

How i feel as time goes on :angry2:

 

Hope the info provided helps you though.

All the best.
