Even though the Windows PC is most used system all over the world but still there are majority of people wanted to prefer the Mac OSX over windows because of the stability and less attack from the viruses or the spywares. But because of Mac system are expensive in comparison to windows supported systems then it is not comparably easy to have one… but is that so? Even if you don’t have a Mac Pc you can install it over your Windows running PC… today in this article you are going to learn how?

For the users who want to have Mac on your windows PC there are certain recommendations you should follow… first of all this tutorial is based on Windows Vista so you have to start with Vista or later installed on your pc… and the second one is the modified version of Mac OSX called OSX86… this is available on most of the torrent sites you can easily search over the web.[get more info here]

So now I assume you are fulfilling both the requirements so just get out with the steps….

1. So you already have Vista Installed; now let we come to partitioning before we proceed any further… to install the modified version of MAX osx the minimum required space we need is 10 gb but I recommend you have to have more say 20 gb and formatted to FAT-32 Primary Partition.[To make a partition you can use Partition Magic or Gparted live cd or Windows Disk Maranagement.]

2. Now get your pc ready with Windows boot  up open Command Prompt { Start <>Command prompt } With Administrative Privillage and run command DISKPART and press enter . Here we are using DISKPART for making HFS compatible Partition.

Command	Preface
DISKPART> list disk	” This will show you a list of selectable disks. “
DISKPART> select disk n	[where n = the disk number]
	This will specify which disk to create a new partition on
DISKPART> create partition primary size=n id=af	[where n = the size in MB of the partition, For 20 gb space n will be 20000 ] [where af = hfs+ compatible]
	Will proceed to create a bootable primary partition for the Mac
DISKPART> list partition	” This command will show you the partitions on your selected disk “
DISKPART> select partition n	[where n = the newly created OSX partition]
	This will specify the partition
DISKPART> active	” This will make your OS X partition the first-boot active partition “
DISKPART> Exit	Exit from DiskPart………..

So now you have completed the command prompt section to make the partitioned drive the active one; but now before you proceed make sure you have disabled the User Account Control (UAC).

3.  Now insert the Mac osx DVD you have created from the torrent link and restart the system with CD media with first boot device. Now you will see the Darwin load screen. Now as counting starts just press the F8 key to get some more options.

4. Now to enter in the VERBOSE mode press V (This is prominent place to get an error likely and if your screen freezes for more than 15 minutes or more then try to figure out the solution over the google for your specific problem… the last three lines will help you to find the solution)

5. Once the above section goes well then from the top menu bar click Utilities > Disk Utility… to select the destination drive where you want to install the MAC osx.

6.  Now click on ERASE on right hand side and under the format option select “MAC OSX Journaled Extended ” and click Erase. Now the disk will be erased and mounted once this done you are very near to near to your destination.

7. Now close the disk utility and click on the partition which you created at previous Step.

8. Now the most important section Customize in this section you can customize the installation option choose wisely make a search at wiki.osx86project.org & Insanelymac.com with your hardware configuration & find successful installation combination.For most of the INTEL based systems Vanilla Kernel works very smoothly & for AMD system try Voodoo kernel.It is also recommended to remove all the extra unnecessary languages as they take up about 2 gigs.

9. This all will began the installation and could end with in 30-45 minutes as per your hardware in use. After the installation finishes out; reboot with the DVD in the drive. Press F8 at Darwin Boot Loader and type -s and press enter to Execute the following commands :

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
flag 1
quit
reboot

10. This has all with the DVD now remove it and start the System normally you do with windows vista now you will end up with the two options Boot with Darwin Bootloader or use VISTA bootloader.

So far now you have almost completed the installation now read the detailed description for both the bootloader…

For Darwin bootloader follow these instruction.

If you want to use darwin bootloader than skip the step 15.
Darwin has its own dual-boot menu which is easy to activate, just press F8 on your keyboard before the Darwin boot loader prompt and Apple boot logo.The dual-boot menu might appear by itself depending on whether or not the install disc automatically sets the time-out period for you.
If you want to create a time-out that will allow you to select which OS to boot from without pressing F8, follow these instructions:

Firstly, load up Terminal (Applications/Utilities/) from within OS X, then type:
sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

edit the Darwin time-out flag accordingly:

Timeout
8

Press CTRL+O and then Enter to save the file, after which you can safely close the session by pressing CTRL+X.

For VISTA bootloader use this guide .

Put the Vista Installation Disc into your DVD drive and restart to boot from it. Click Repair System, press next and then select Command Prompt Type DISKPART and press Enter.

Command	Preface
DISKPART> list disk	” This will show you a list of selectable disks. “
DISKPART> select disk n	[where n = the disk number]
	Select the disk which Windows Vista is installed to
DISKPART> list partition	This will show you the partitions on your selected disk
DISKPART> select partition n	[where n = the Windows Vista partition]
	This will specify the partition
DISKPART> active	Will make your Windows Vista partition the first-boot active partition
DISKPART> Exit	Exit from DiskPart………..

Reboot into Windows Vista.
Next, you can either follow the command line BCDEDIT instructions below, or use EasyBCD.

Copy CHAIN0 from your Mac OS X partition or Installation Disc to the root of your Vista partition C:\.

For Vista Bootloader you can also use BCD-EDIT.

1) Boot into Vista. Copy the chain0 file from the Leopard DVD to C:

2) Open the “Command prompt” with “Elevated Admin” privileges from the Start Menu.

3) Type the following into the prompt

bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Mac OS X”
bcdedit /enum active
bcdedit /set {GUID} PATH \chain0

4) In the first command type {current} as it is, literally..nothing else..just {current} with the brackets. In the 3rd command however, replace the {GUID} with the alphanumeric GUID you see in the enumerated list under MAC OS X. You can see this list on your terminal as soon as you type the 2nd command above.

5) Close the Command Prompt and Restart Vista.

6) You Should now be looking at a screen with two options to boot into Mac OSX or Vista.

Select Mac OSX to see if you can boot into it. You should see the familiar Darwin boot Loading screen with the timer going down. If you dont do anything, then it counts to zero and again shows the menu screen with Vista and MAC OSX options. Dont panic!

Again select MAC OS X, and now as the timer counts down, Press F8. You would see a list of partitions on your disk with their names. Select the partition with MAC OSX installed by using up/down arrows and press ENTER.
