Thread: The best way to install Mac OSX on your PC!!!!!!

Hi all
This is my first post here
i just discovered this new and it was so helpful

it called Kakewalk

why this way?????
because you will not install any HACKINTOSH version on your pc
You will just install the original version of MAC OSX LEOPARD on your pc

why Should I do that????
it's much more stable and you can run almost programs via this way without facing any problems

example:
i used to install MAC Via Chameleon boot
it was good but i faced - and not only me - programs crashed
for me i faced FCP and APT crashed
so i went to find a stable and perfect way to install MAC on PC
and fortunately i found it

let's start with the installation:

Things you Should Have:
1- A good PC hardware specifications:
example for my spesifications:
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3LR BIOS:F10
Intel Core2 Quad Q8300
KingMax FBGA Mars 2GB DDR2
eVGA GeForce GTS 250 512MB
Samsung 500GB SATA-II, Partiton 1 HFS+ (Journaled), GUID

For Best performance you should have one of the following Motherboards:

Gigabyte EP45-UD3LR
Gigabyte EP45T-UD3LR
Gigabyte EP45-UD3R
Gigabyte EP45-UD3P
Gigabyte EX58-UD5
Gigabyte EX58-UD3R
Gigabyte EX58A-UD7
Gigabyte EP45-UD3L
Gigabyte EP45-DS3L
Gigabyte P55M-UD2
MSI P55M-GD45
Gigabyte G41M-ES2L
Gigabyte EX58-UD4P
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R

PS: don't try to install SL if you don't have one of the mentioned MB

2- MAC Snow leopard Original Installation Disc
you can find it on any torrent tracker
i don't know if it's allowable to put a torrent link here
if anyone had a problem in finding it just PM me or post here
it's about 6.6 GB so you should have DVD 9

3- Download The KAKEWALKe Boot From here:
Kakewalk — Updates and thoughts.

you will find the following



click on download

then



click on download

download it
unzip it
burn it on CD

and we are ready to go:

Now

INSTALLING MAC OSX ON PC

first we need to configure the bios

there is no much as Hackintosh Installing

first enter the bios by pressing Del bottom

you may have to do the following while making the recommended BIOS adjustments


1- USB Keyboard Function: set to Enable
2- USB Mouse Function: set to Enable

change the following settings in the Integrated Peripherals


1- ICH SATA Control Mode -> Set it to “AHCI”
2- eSATA Ctrl Mode -> Set it to “AHCI”

then change the following setting in the Power Management
1- HPET Mode -> Set to “64-bit mode”

and don't forget to change the first boot drive To CD/DVD in the standard CMOS Features

now insert the KAKEWALK CD that you burned before in the DVD drive

start it up
it will show you the CD boot drive

eject the Kakewalk cd
put the Mac SL DVD

press F5 for refresh

press enter

The disc boot up can take a few minutes, so you'll need to be patient

Before you go ahead with the installation you need to format your hard drive, so once the disc boots, go to Utilities -> Disk Utility in the menu bar. Find the hard drive in the sidebar you want to install Leopard to, select it, then go to the Partition tab, and select a 1 partition volume scheme, name it whatever you want (I called mine Leopard), and choose the Mac OS Extended (Journal-ed) format. Now click the Options button to set the partition scheme. You can choose the partition scheme as either Master Boot Record or GUID (in my previous instructions you needed to set it as MBR). I used GUID
Click Apply, let it complete the partitioning, and then quit Disk Utility and head back to the Installer. Hit Continue at the Welcome screen, agree to the terms,



PS. please note that it's recommended if you have other HDD, you should switched off just not to be confused and it will lead you to format another HDD

now just follow the instructions and install the Mac OSX SL
and when it's finished just restart the computer and Voila



now after restarting it wont start up the MAC OSX
so you should reput the KAKWALK cd again in the driver
then it will show you the Apple Logo on bootscreen
press on it
it will enter the OS
after finishing your personal informations
open the Kakwalk CD
and install the Kakwalk BOOT LOADER from the CD

you are done

i will answer all the questions about any issues you faced
just ask me

now for the drivers I'm preparing another thread for it
you might not facing any drivers problems

if you like my post

besides the MB, shouldnt other hardwares like graphic card, processor, wireless card, sound card and stuff compatible with mac osx as well ?
is there any other MB compatible with this hack?

i tried a major models of motherboards
the best performance you will get is from GIGABYTES
it's the best MB for this hack
about the other drivers:
Processors:
it should run SSE2 and SSE3 to run MAC OSX
witch is included in ALLLLLL the new Processors
if you want to check it
you should do the following:
download EVEREST Ultimate Edition
then after installing it run program
enter MB
choose CPU
you will find that a major Processing systems that the CPU runs
if it include The SSE2, SSE3 option the you can continue
if not oops you should stop and change the processor

Ram:
anything buffer good such as 633 or 800 or above (at least you should have 512MB ram)

HDD:
anything will work (of course with a good capacity)
VGA: i get the best performance from a lots of VGA cards (specially NVIDIA GEFORCE)
but i will give you a secret that i discovered by my self
don't try any VGA CARDS with HDMI output if you want to take a resolution upper than 1024*768
some progs can only work with a resolution higher than that
and even Apple it self didn't release any computer with HDMI PORT
VGA cards with HDMI will work but will not lunch the major of the brutal programs such as AE - FCP - APT ..... etc
for the other hardwares i'm gonna make a post for them if i saw acceptation for this thread

any question I'm ready
Don't forget the reputation Guys

regards
