PCmacBEG Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I have been wanting to install Snow Leopard 10.6.7 on my PC for quite a while. The only problem that I cant get by is that my PC does not have a drive that will burn a DVD(i have the ISO image on my HDD). I have a 16gb external flash drive. I was hoping there would be a way to boot from the flash drive to install OS X but after hours on end searching the internet I have not found anything. I was thinking that there has to be a way to boot from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] or boot123 to my flash drive but i haven't found a way. THANX for your time. any help will be greatly appreciated!

ifrit05 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 This guide is for OSx86 distros. but you can adapt it to the retail image. Just skip the part it says about putting a bootloader on it and use a boot disk instead like [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].
