OS X :: Hackintosh Without A Mac?
Oct 12, 2009
I'm sorry to ask this question and I have searched on the internet, but I plan to get a Dell mini 10v to make a hackintosh but all the installation require a mac to start the process.
I don't know anybody who would be willing to lend me their mac and I'm certainly not going to go into an apple store and use one, so my question is how can I create the hackintosh without owning a mac already?
Oh and I'd be installing OSX 10.6 if at all possible since I cannot find any version of 10.5.X cheaper than >�150.
And I cannot afford a mac right now before anybody tells me to just buy a mac... but I'm saving up for one next year

My trusty Hackintosh was my introduction to the wonderful world of OS X. Now, 2 Macbook Pro's (Mine, Wife's), 4 Macbooks (kids), iPad, iPhone, iPod later...
I am getting a Macpro1,1 2006 for Christmas So now I want to migrate all of my apps and data across to the Mac Pro. I have been using Time Machine on an external drive so I was wondering if the best way to go would be to install fresh Snow Leopard on the Mac Pro and then give it the external drive time machine to grab everything else? Would this also grab my Parallels/Windows 7 installation? Any pitfalls to avoid? Advice in general? Flames? Random thoughts....

I have 2 laptops that i can use for running hackintosh. One is a Asus Eee PC 1000HD 10'. The other is a Hp Pavillion dv9700. Is it even possible to run hackintosh on these systems? I tried once and messed my boot data and had to restore.

My buddy saw an article on the net that I showed him about a guy building a "Hackintosh" with all new parts bought from newegg. The article seemed to say that you really should use the same parts as the author did to ensure Snow Leopard compatibility.
My buddy has built MANY a pc. He seems to think that using the directions and software discussed in the article I showed him, that we could pretty much turn ANY home built PC into a Hackintosh with higher performance and less cost.
I'm not here to discuss the legitimacy of his claim, but I would like to know about the hardware / software part?
Can basically any PC be turned into a Hackintosh?

I've had it with Windows. It's so annoying. I need to know if I can install Mac OS X on my computer. I have the specs right here.. But first: I tried iDeneb a while ago, but it didn't work. I got some error in the terminal and that left me stumped. So idk what else to do, but I'll try anything.My Dell service tag is C3KRGH1 if any of you guys need it..

I have a great HP computer, but I like Mac way better then Windows Vista, so is there a way to install Hackintosh on my secondary E drive, and leave Vista intact on C for gaming? And can you provide a reliable link to a Hackintosh download?

After reading about Psystar and all that crap I have become inspired. I want to build my own hackintosh . I have an old G4 Gigabit Ethernet PowerMac that I aquired a few weeks back. I was wondering if it would be possible to gut it and use the case for my new hackintosh. Will a standard mobo fit in it? Can I easily replace the powersupply?

I decided to run a few geekbench tests on my Early 2008 Octo 2.8ghz Mac Pro w/ 16gb of RAM against my daughter's Core i7 920 DIY Hackintosh with 6gb of DDR3 RAM. Both are running Leopard 10.5.6 with nothing else running.

The New Samsung GO N310 is a very cool NetBook with awesome battery life. Claimed 9 hrs... 6-7 hrs real world. I bought this for my Grandson who needed a computer for school with good battery life. This is his first computer of his very own.
I ran across a Samsung GO N310 Hackintosh on Snow Leopard
Has anyone tried this on this model? My Grandson seems to be interested in trying to make this happen.
