Bauer418 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I wouldn't recommend doing this simply as OS X is still unstable to run on a PC, so do this entirely at your own risk. Boot from the Leopard Install DVD When available, open the Utilities menu and load Disk Utility Select your drive from the left hand side, and click the partition tab Select "1 Partition" from the dropdown Partition the drive, and format the partition as Apple HFS Journaled (Extended) (HFS+) Install Leopard as usual Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89486-how-to-clean-install-kalyway-leopard-1051-on-my-xp-machine/#findComment-638369 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauer418 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 All of the builds of OSX have issues with standard x86-based PC's, because they weren't built for them. Everything could work fine and you may never have an issue; however, there's a chance that once you get past the installation, you won't be able to get your network/display/sound to work properly. It really is entirely unpredictable. I would dual boot for now, and if you get everything working right, then delete your XP partition and expand your OS X partition.

mschilling Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I was able to easily install osx on an external usb hdd on my laptop. That allows you to leave your comp completely original and just disconnect the usb drive when desired and go back to windows. You can then experiment with different distros available and decide what works best for you. Ideally you can use two externals, and switch back and forth, and decide from there what works best for you.
