Installing iPC OS X86 on a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P Using Virtualbox

[dannymichel]

I'm trying to follow a guide here, on how to install Snow Leopard on Virtualbox. It says you must first install an OS X86 distrobution before using a retail DVD to install Snow Leopard.

 

I am wondering if someone could walk me through how to do the OS X86 installation part of it.

I'm using iPC 10.5.6 disk.

There are two ways to do this

 

1. You could install leopard, then use the snow leopard disk to update it.

 

 

OR: (The much easier and better way)

 

2. Use SnowOSX v3.6. It was made for Snow Leopard. It is a normal install,  just install it the way you would install any other distro (put it in, format your partition, install it onto the partition).

thanks for the reply. i dunno why the former sounds easier to me. i feel like i'm going to have to chose certain options i'm not exactly sure about using 'SnowOSX v3.6'. can i install 'SnowOSX v3.6' on an MBR partition table?
