Here is how i made it work:

 

Preparation - Downloads

  • First of all you need a Hard Drive or a Partition (20GB or More).
  • Format the Drive/Partition through Windows with NTFS or FAT filesystem.
  • Download i-Atkos S3v2 (you can find it easy on any torrent/warez website) and burn it on a DVD.
  • Download [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Legacy Kernel from Here and burn it on a CD.
     
  • Reboot your computer and press "Del" to enter Bios.
  • Navigate to "Advanced Settings" and hit Enter
  • Next, go to "IDE Configuration" and hit Enter
  • Go to "Sata Configuration" hit Enter and set it to "Compatible"
  • When you'll do that, another menu will appear below this one called "Configure Sata#1 as"
  • Set it to ACHI
  • Press ESC 2 times to go again to the main BIOS menu.

  • Let it boot (it'll take about 2 minutes or less)
  • As soon as it boots, a selection screen will appear.
  • Eject your CD
  • Insert your i-Atkos S3v2 DVD in your Drive and hit F5
  • After 30seconds, "Mac OSX Installation DVD" will appear on your selection screen. Select it and hit Enter
  • That's it! Wait 5 minutes and the installation will begin!

 

Installation

  • As soon as installation menu appears, select your Language and click Next.
  • Click on "Utilites" (on the top of your screen) and open "Disk Utility"
  • Select the Drive you want to Install the MacOS and go to "Erase" tab.
  • Select "MacOS Journaled" as Filesystem type and type a Name for your drive in the box.
  • Click Erase (bottom right of the utility).
  • Close the Disk Utility and click Next on the Menu that will appear.
  • Agree to the Terms
  • Select the Drive you want to install Mac OS to, and Click on "Customize" (on the Bottom Left of your screen)
  • Select ONLY these:
    • Boot Loader: Chameleon v2 RC5

Configuration

  • After the Welcome video, you have to type your Personal Information (if you want to).
  • At the end of this survey, you will be prompted to create your system account by filling a username and a password.
  • If the system freeze after you click on "Create" don't panic! Just reset your computer and voila! Your installation is finished!
  • Now, you have to install some Kexts for your Graphics Card (in my case, it's a 9800GTX+). So, if you have the same download the kext package from here.
  • Download Kext Helper from Here and place it in your Applications folder.
  • Unzip the kext package and select all kexts
  • Run the Kext Helper App
  • Drag n drop all kexts in Kext Helper App, fill in your password (if you have one) and click on "Easy Install"
  • When install completes, restart your Computer.
  • Download 10.6.7 Combo Update from Apple's Website and Install it.

 

 

You're finished!! Enjoy your MacOS!

 

The only thing that you have to do now, is to buy a 10.6.7 compatible PCI or USB (Wireless) network card. I just did this with my iPhone's WiFi to USB Tethering so i don't need to buy a network card.

 

If anyone has a problem or wants to add something, please reply on this topic :rolleyes:
