albertaa Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I just bought a legal copy of OSX 10.4.2 from eBay. I checked the HowTo instructions, but they all seem to use an illegal downloaded version. Can someone point me to a HowTo on installing it from a legal disk. I tried to just boot my Intel machine from the OSX disk and it didn't recognize it. My motherboard is an Abit AW8-MAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikedude880 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 You will not be able to install OS X on your PC without it being an illegal *patched* copy. What you have is a restore disk for an authentic Mac, not an OSX86 install disk. I would recommend looking for a JaS release on your favorite site.

Mebster Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 No worries. A Jas release is a patched OSX DVD which has been patched by someone who calls themselves Jas. Myz is another person and there are a few more individuals who create them. So you need to download a patched OSX DVD by Jas or Myz or anyone else. The names of the DVDs above are ones each of them have created. Hope that clarifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
