Is there anyway to install OSx86 on this laptop???

I read that someone installed the OSx86 on a thinkpad IBM

proof: http://lifehacker.com/software/mac-os-x/du...kpad-151121.php

 

If there is a way to get this done much will be appreciated.

And for the software I have Windows Vista Business and I want to Dual Boot Mac OSX

I have the original Mac Osx DVD at home.. Is there any way i can patch that instead of downlaoding the JAS Version... Im getting this Mac OS X 10.4.6 x86 Install DVD (JaS) in the mean time... Is this the correct software?

 

Please help me out.

 

,Many thanks

I think you'll be able to get it up and running. You'll want the latest JaS release with all the patches. Yeah, it will take a while to download but its less time than trial and error working your way up to what works.

 

You won't be patching your OS X DVD

 

There are guides for dual booting on the forum.
