Gujal Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 THe DMG file is a real OSX image and you cant use it to install. Download Kalyway 10.5.1 image from your "favourite" site and you can use it to install on your rig Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88952-beginner-needs-help-please/#findComment-634960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Serol Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi, To burn your dmg file for an optical device you need to access one Mac to do it. A dmg file it's lige iso in Microsoft system, it's an image and you can burn it in a Mac with application "disk utility". You can find this application in utilities of Mac and then you need to select the destination drive to burn and source file of image like dmg file. For install Leopard or Tiger in PC you need onde DVD burned but cracked, and if your dmg it's not an cracked image of leopard version you need to download it on torrents sites, find for iATKOS or Kalyway and burn it. Attention if you download it you need to burn in low velocity, preferencial in 1x because if you burn your data with 8x or more your disk will doesn't function. Then you need to start you computer running this burned dvd and when you prompt to install you select "customize" and check EFI in MBR and ACPI options. I don't remember the names of options but are like what I wrote. Sorry for my bad english too but this is your first steps to run a mac OS X in a PC Regards.

Skyper Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 No. You will either need to download BrazilMac from "The Bay" and patch it yourself from Windows. Then you will be able to burn it from Windows and install it on your machine. Hope this help.s Good luck.

superjunaid Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hey ser1al.de, the only thing you'll need is the Kalyway Leopard 10.5.1, its comes as an ISO file so you can easily burn it on your PC. Just search google for "kalyway 10.5.1 iso" and it'll point you in the right direction to begin your download. Also have you checked the HCL for 10.5.1 if your motherboard exists in there? go to http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.5.1, it might not exist but you can check other mobos that have the same chipset as yours to see how compatible yours is. From the look of it your motherboard is based on a VIA chipset PT880 Ultra and hopefully kalyway should be able to get you going. If not look for a motherboard more compatible. Good Luck!
