Can I use an existing installed drive

[rrubright]

I want to get chameleon configured to get me to my separate (eSATA) drive which was previously installed on and bootable by an iMac. It is at 10.6.6 and works as a raw drive in VMWare. I would like to boot it directly on my PC. I realize that this motherboard might be tough kernelwise, and I may not be able to use CPUs=4, but VMWare seems to have no problem running it. I would appreciate any wisdom the community might offer.

 

 

Motherboard: Abit IN9 32X-max SLI, nForce 680i chipset

Ram: 4G DDR2

CPU: Intel q3400

Video: gForce 7600GT

CD/DVD: SATA

Mac HDD: Seagate 500 GB

 

The machine has an available Seagate 320G IDE drive.

1. Get a IDE (PATA) DVDRW and jumper-set and connect as Master to your MOBO

 

2. See my nForce chipset MOBO Snow Leopard Install Guide here......and my Series 7 nForce + Intel CPU MOBO Guide for Leopard (includes link to BIOS settings for OS X in post #1) here.....and my blog for Snow Leopard and Leopard install guides......

 

Ask questions in my Leopard and then Snow Leopard threads if you want my help!

 

3. Set your BIOS as shown in template for 680i OS X
