Installing MAC OS86

Filed under ( )
iMPORTANT: DOWNLOADING MAC OSX86 (a prepatched MAC OSX 10.4.8 install image) IS ILLEGAL. Don’t ask me where you can download OSX86, not in a comment, not by e-mail, not by phone, not by sending a telegram and not by any other way you can imagine.

You need a processor that supports at least SSE2 to make this work.
You can check this with a program called CPU-Z (http://cpuid.com/cpuz.php).

Got at least SSE2? Go on and install MAC OSX 10.4.8 on your computer (If you already have a working 10.4.8 configuration, scroll down to read the steps about updating to 10.4.9):

1. Get a prepatched MAC OSX 10.4.8 install image.
2. Burn the image to an empty DVD recordable (+R or –R)

Use your favorite burn program for this (I recommend Nero Burning Rom or Alcohol 120%)

3. Make sure that you’ve backupped all important data on your computer. In the next few steps we’re going to format your hard disk and install OSX, this means that good old Windows and all data on the hard disk will be removed.

4. Insert the OSX install disk and reboot your computer.

5. Make sure you boot the DVD. When the grey Apple stops spinning (this can take upto 15 minutes), select your Language (I’ll choose English for this guide)

6. On the top of the screen, click ‘Utilities’ and then ‘Disk Utility’.

7. Disk Utility starts. Select your Hard Disk (the whole Hard Disk, not just a partition). Hit the erase tab and set the Volume Format to “Mac OS extended (journaled)”. Hit Erase.

8. Wait until the process finishes and close Disk Utility (by clicking the red dot at the top left corner of the screen).

9. Follow the installation steps on your screen, select the HD with the partition you made in step 6 and don’t forget to choose ‘customize’ if your install DVD has a customize button. In the Customization window, select either the Intel or OSX. Choose more packages if they apply.

10. After finishing the installation, wait for the computer to reboot, remove the install disk and start playing with your native MAC OSX installation!

11. You now have a fully working MAC OSX 10.4.8 system.
