alexthepirate098 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 hey, so my friend has a imac so i borrowed his os x installation discs but i can't get it to boot. More specifically i have a imac g5 mac os x installations discs. so im wondering if the problem is that these discs are just reinstall discs for apple computers or if its just i don't know what im doing and don't know how to boot from a disc. i have vista on a hp computer with a amd dual core 4200. Anyone have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riktor Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Power PC discs (G anything) do not work for a hackintosh build unless you want to run a virtual pc. This hackintosh method only became a reality when mac switch to intel chips. And there really isnt a legal way to get a intel osx since they technically havent been released with the exception of restore cds that in most cases will not work on a hack either.

Anyone have any suggestions? Stop right now and don't even bother trying to install OSX on your PC. Just stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riktor Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I agree too but am not trying to be as harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
