marbrun Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I have a little question which i am searching an aswer for: Is it possible to plug in your HDD on a Mac or Macbook and install Snow Leopard and then just plug it into your PC and boot from it with a bootloader? Very curious about the possibilities here... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/221341-boot-from-hdd-with-osx-installed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organgrinder Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 if youre talking about turning your HDD into a bootable device then yes, but if you mean installing it then trying to run it on your pc then probably not. You would probably hit a kernel panic.

You would probably hit a kernel panic. I mean the last one. So there's no way to do this without a kernel panic? Also, why don't we always get a kernel panic when we just install Snow Leopard from the DVD on the PC HDD via a bootloader? Is it the bootloader that adds files to the install to substitute the kernel panic?
