Mac OSx86

This is really HUGE, no I mean HUUUGE !

Finally looks like someone smart has developed a solution for booting and installing Mac OS X on a PC using the original retail (unpatched!!) Mac OS X DVD. W00t is the word!

EFiX is a USB dongle that should allow you to run the orignal DVD on any PC. All you’ll have to do is put the DVD in your drive and start the installation. Isn’t it great.

They planned to release the hardware on 23rd of June, check them out: efi-x.com

Now you don’t have any excuses anymore! Go buy Mac OS X!

It was like a year go, JaS released the 10.4.8 Mac OS X86 DVD (link).

Now it is time for the new Leopard Mac OS to get his X86 version!
What’s so special with that version? Well, simple. It runs on a Windows PC!

And this time it’s a ToH release. Version RC2 is what you want!

Tip 1: BS:misc
Tip 2: md5 of correct RC2 iso is 83909703A60283FFC8F3DA1D8A8594F0

We’ll talk here about the most easy and clean way to dual boot Vista & OS X86.
And guess what boot manager we will use? Yes, Darwin Bootloader from OS X.

You will need for this tutorial:

- Windows Vista installation DVD
- JaS OS X86 10.4.X installation DVD

I recommend the following disk partitioning:

- 3 primary partitions: 1- Windows Vista / 2 - OS X86 / 3 - OS X86
- 1 extended partition (containing several HFS+ or FAT32 or NTFS partitions)

Having 2 primary OS X86 partitions is really cool for testing new OS X86 install.
For instance, you can have Mac OS X86 10.4.9 running on the first, and the latest
Leopard WWDC Preview build 9A466 running on the second…
