Coz I tried this... then got fed up coz of time... You have to spend a lot of time doing research... passe karanawa aayith

I installed this on P4 3GHz 2M LGA, AMD Athlon64 2800+, Core2Duo E6300 but you need to patch it machan. As an example i have GMA950 graphics and i had to edit boot to force the screen resolution.

He is talking about Tiger machan, i am talking about Leopard.
Anyway its not supporting it officially he may used some manual method or partition hide method and finally using acronis to select OS.

Acronis not supporting Mac OS X, If you really want to use acronis then can use partition hide method and install the OS and hide other partitions.

yes,first u need to hide the primary partition which got Win installation,and then format the other primary patition to Mac(I think its Device manager or something like that in Mac

)then after that u can unhide the winpartition and use both using OS Selector,but better to keep a backup of MBR,cz sometimes it get messed up

Sure i can, but machan its totally depending on your hardware. Each release is different and released for specific hardware with different kernel.

About patches if you got a SSE2 machine then you can try such release. But its not really working well like in a SSE3 machine. If you have a 90nm then you are have SSE3.

mine's SSE3,I insalled Leopard using JasOS,one version worked perfectly but then the other version didnt as my VGA is not a supporting model

I cant rmemeber hte kernel I got
anyways did u got the patches with the installation or patched the image first and then create the disc
btw can I get the image? :cool:

That's what i said hide partition method machan. But its not acronis supporting Mac OS X. You just hiding partitions and finally using acornis as a boot selector.

What you mean by one version worked and other not?
I patched after installing. Sure i can give the image. But its only working for that specific type only. And need to patch too.
Anyway PM me the hardware specs of your computer and i'll try to help you.
Just give the exact model names or numbers. Not only the chip names.

Have you ever wanted to own a Mac?
There are many reasons to do so..

1. The Mac OS X Leopard, known as the world’s most advanced operating system and simplicity combined with lot of innovative features.

2. Totally integrated and well performing applications with the operating system, since all the major applications are developed from Apple it self.

3. World famous, very powerful, easy to use and innovative applications like Final Cut Studio which even allows you to edit 4K Films, Logic Studio, iLife etc.. Which are not available in PC platform.

4. More performance in graphic applications and can work in more organized manner.

5. Eye candy designs and visual effects which makes you fall in love with your Mac OS X and its applications disregarding your experience or user level
etc..

But Macs are really really expensive! Mac Pro for video editing and graphics can cost over many times than the same performing PC. So it’s not only out of reach from the normal user but mostly also from the commercial video and graphic artists in Sri Lanka.

But there are ways to install Mac OSX and all the Mac OS Applications with full functionality on cheap PC hardware that you already have in your Windows machine.
But it’s illegal to install Mac OS and applications on non-Mac Hardware. So it should be done only for educational or testing purposes only!

Here I have some screen shots of my Mac Pro (on PC Hardware) running the latest Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2 with some of the well known applications for Mac.

You can also do this but it’s totally depending on the hardware you have and the time you can spend on this project. If you are lucky enough you can install Mac OS within few hours with minimal patching or fixes. But on some hardware it needs lot of reading in the internet, researching, patching and lot of time to learn it with trial by error.
So if you are an enthusiast and have some free time then go for it. But remember this is totally illegal and should be done only for educational and testing purposes.

I have given only glimpse of the subject and its possibilities. There are groups dedicated for this PC to Mac transformation.

I did it once for Mac OS 10 and worked perfectly (iBoot). Terrible performance though.

Recommended sys req.
4GB, Core i3, 1 GB

If you don't want to mess up with the iBoot and other stuff, try iATKOS.

BTW GT ayya mage username eka "SilverX" kiyala change karanna plz.
