How can I install OS x on an extra drive in my PC?

September 28th, 2009 | by admin |

I’m going to try to get a summer job, and a computer shop. I would like to get some experience working with mac’s, however i do not have access to a mac nor do i want to buy one. I do have an old 40gb hd, that i’d like to throw in my current pc and install os x on, does anyone have any links or advice that could help me do so?

You can use a hacked version of OSX, but you will not have the experience of working on a Mac. Macs are the hardware that are specifically designed to work with OSX. You will continually have conflicts — not an optimal setting to learn the OS.

I would suggest you find a used Mac or buy a low end Mac Mini.

    YOU CAN INSTALL MAC SOFTWARE (INCLUDING MAC OS X) ONLY ON APPLE HARDWARE - ANYTHING ELSE WON’T WORK + EVEN IF IT DOES APPLE CAN SHUT YR COMPUTER DOWN WITH FIRST SOFTWARE UPDATE
    PROJECT OS X IS SAME LIKE SOME OTHER PROJECTS - LOTS OF TALK WITH NO PROOF - NOBODY HAS SHOWN YET WORKING COPY OF HACKED MAC OS X LEOPARD - ALL PICTURES ARE FROM TORRENT VERSION OF MAC OS X TIGER THAT APPLE RELEASED TO GET ATTENTION TO TIGER AND THAT VERSION WAS WITHOUT PROTECTION
    APPLE USES PROTECTION TO ENSURE THAT THEIR SOFTWARE WILL RUN ONLY ON THEIR HARDWARE

    Mac OS X won’t run very well on a PC because it was designed to run specifically on Macs. However you CAN do this but it will be unstable and not a real Mac experience, it will crash and give error messages, stuff Mac OS X doesn’t do.
