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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48828-need-help-have-legal-os-x-discs-but-cant-boot/ 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.

riktor Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I agree too but am not trying to be as harsh. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48828-need-help-have-legal-os-x-discs-but-cant-boot/#findComment-349532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
