Ethan R Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 HiI'm just getting started on trying to get Mac OS on my PC laptop. I have original OS X discs that I purchased for the last three pre-Leopard OS's (10.2-10.4). Basically, how do I get started? I'm not interested in downloading 10.5 somehow, I just want to run what I've got.ThanksP.S. Apologies if this is in the wrong forumP.S.

hecker Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Fixing the originals to run on a PC is no easy task so do yourself a favor and download the images and be happy. hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98691-i-have-original-os-x-discs-how-do-i-get-started/#findComment-705012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCH Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 If you still want to try: http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1661 a guide I wrote some time ago.
