How to Install Mac OS X on a PC

Install mac OS without a Mac

Pre - requirements to install snow leopard
A computer/laptop running an Intel Processor
iBoot or chameleon
Mac Snow leopard retail DVD available on Mac Store (it costs around 30$)
MultiBeast

MultiBeast is an all-in-one post-installation tool designed to enable boot from hard drive, and install support for Audio, Network, and Graphics. It contains two different complete post-installation solutions: EasyBeast and UserDSDT. In addition it includes System Utilities to rebuild caches and repair permissions and a collection of drivers, boot loaders, boot time config files and handy software.

Download iBoot or Chamelon
write a Black Cd/DVD

There are lot of free programs to burn CD/DVD if you dont have one. Use ImgBurn or DVD Decrypter.
All have to do click the image then burn the CD/DVD.

Now you have boot able CD/DVD ready to boot your system.

Now go to Bios. I recommend you to set default bios settings.
Otherwise First bootable Device-> CDRom.

Its time install mac on your PC
1.Insert the iBoot or chameleon boot disk.

2 – When you see screen below, eject the disk.

3. Insert the Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD, wait a few seconds, and press F5.

4 – When you see the screen below, select Mac OS X Install DVD (it should already be selected) and press Enter.

5 If all goes well you have to follow the instructions to install Mac otherwise try downloading a different version of iBoot or chameleon

6 – Select your language and click the arrow to proceed.

7 – Next, you need to partition your drive. Click on Utilities > Disk Utility.

8 – Select your disk drive.

9 – Click Partition.

10 – Select 1 Partition for the partition scheme. Note:

11 – Enter a name for the partition (I used Snow).

12 – Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the Format.

13 -Click Option, select GUID Partition Table, and then click OK.

14 – Click Apply.

15 – Quit Disk Utility and proceed with the installation.
16 - Install on the Snow partition.
17. after the installation you will get a boot error.Don`t give up.Already you installed a Mac on Snow disk.Eject the Mac OS X Install DVD , put your boot CD back into the drive, and reboot the machine. Now when you boot up, you should see a second choice for your installation partition Snow(your Mac Mac OS X Install drive ). Select the installed partition and press Enter to boot into OS X.

Post-installation

2.0 -Run MultiBeast.
2.1 -If you have a custom DSDT that's been edited, place the file on your desktop and choose UserDSDT.
2.2 -All others select EasyBeast
2.3 -Select System Utilities.
2.4 -Optionally, you may install further drivers via Advanced Options to enable ethernet, sound, graphics, etc... Be sure to read the documentation provided about each installation option.
NOTE: EasyBeast, and UserDSDT install the bootloader by default

Congratulations! You're done!! You did it.

I strongly recommends don`t go for Sandy bridge processors.Go for compatibility list hardware from osx86project.org .Please have a look at once.

Useful Links
Here are a few more links that provide tools and files to help you set up a Hackintosh on hardware other than what I’ve mentioned here:
myHack – Another bootloader/kext installer, similar to Multibeast
Kexts.com – A good resource for downloading Kexts (device drivers)
Kext Helper – A tool that makes it easy to install new Kexts
Kext Utility – A tool to ensure proper kext installation
Chamelon Boot Loader – The boot loader that pretty much all the boot disks out there use (including iBoot and Empire EFI).
