Vyom Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I want to install Mac OS X on my PC. Specs: AMD Phenom II X4 965 - 2GB RAM Asus motherboard M4N68T-M LE V2 NVIDIA geforce 7025/NVIDIA nforce 630a Graphics Running on Windows 7 Ultimate and Ubuntu 11.40 I have done a some research on it and found that you need to enable AHCI mode from the BIOS and then install OS X with the help of [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]+Miltibeast.

Try installing the distro iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Universal Final PPF5, and apply the PPF v1.1 patch in the OS X ISO. (Use PPF-O-Matic) And looking at the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) can be useful. Look at the HCL, corresponding to the OS X version you want to install. (if it's 10.5.4, search google for "HCL 10.5.4". Not to be rude, but, always look at the HCL, just to check if your hardware is compatible.

Dont know if the distro you mentioned works on it or not... Could you give me the link for PPF v1.1 patch and also link for installation method?

Thanks I recommend that you initially install OS X Leopard using a AMD compatible Install DVD distro such as: LawlessPPC-10.5.4-Phenom-AMD iATKOS 4a AMD Leo4Allv4.1 AMD iPC 10.5.6 iDeneb V1.4 10.5.6 etc. to set up two OS X volumes on your HDD and then install Leopard on one of the volumes to figure out exactly what you need to do boot and run OS X Leopard on your system......and then use Leopard to help you install OS X Snow Leopard on your second HDD volume...........also, see this AMD Retail Snow Leopard install guide............
