Installing 10.5 on a pc

**bigonroad** · 03-25-2009 04:26 PM

Hi there. Sorry, i've read the FAQs, and im still confused. Can someone give me good step by step instructions or a link to a tutorial that tells me how to install mac os x onto a pc.

I have a legal copy of the OS on DVD, and an Intel q9550 quad core processor and a spare hard drive ready to go. I want to dual/triple boot (with XP and linux) eventually.

Bless,
Chris

Looks nice try with iPC or Leo4all, check netkas site to know if there support for your video or google it, good luck ;D

the leo4all site says its down, and i can't find iPC by searching? Any clues on what i should search on google?

A link to a good tutorial would be a great help too - thanks!

So I tried the install once. using IPC. It all went fine, but on boot it hangs with the apple with the x - so im assuming i installed the wrong kexts.
Please guide me as to exactly which customisation options to select:

My Pc:
Q9550 processor
Intel DP43TF Motherboard
4GB Corsair XMS2 DHX 800MHz DDR2 Dual Channel Memory Kit
Sapphire Radeon HD4830 - 512MB
Pioneer DVR-216DBK 20x DVDRW
640GB Western Digital Caviar Blue 3.5" Hard Disk Drive
Edimax nMax Wireless 802.11n PCI Card
550W Gigabyte Superb 550P Power Supply
PS2 keyboard

on boot it claims that firewire is not set, so setting it to "full secure"
then it goes to waiting for root device again.

But like I say - i assume this is because I haven't set the correct kexts

Ok. I have it up and running. but i can't get wifi working, and without that i can't install any of the needed drivers for anything else. i ran system profiler, and it told me that the wifi is
04:02.0 Network controller [0280]: RaLink Unknown device [1814:0601]

I have an edimax ew -7728in PCI card
I also have a usb swlut-54125, which i could use instead

Any idea how to get either of these working?
