OSX 10.4.3 on your PC installation guide

I took the liberty to repost here the original article since the server where it was posted keeps running out of bandwith.

Here is the original link though:

OSX 10.4.3 Installation

You need:
- The file ‘macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.dmg’
- ultraISO
- ppf-o-matic3 (click here to download)
- A program that can burn ISO files.
- An empty DVD-R or DVD+R (yes, no -RW or +RW)
- Partition Magic
- Acronis Disk Director Suite
- JaS 1111a Generic Patch v4.2b PPF (Click here to download)
- A diskette with spfdisk (Click to download spfdisk)


The guide:
1. Create at least 6GB unallocated space on your harddisk using Partition Magic.

2. Close Partition Magic.

3. Click ‘START > Run…’ and type ‘diskpart’ (without quotes)

4. Type in (press enter after you typed in a line):
list disk
select disk [the number of your disk
create partition primary id=af

5. Close the command window.

6. Convert ‘macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.dmg’ to a normal iso file using ultraISO.

7. Apply the ppf patch using ppf-o-matic3.exe (the ppf patch from JaS)

8. Burn the iso file to an empty dvd recordable (+R or –R)
9. Start Partition Magic (again…)

10. NOW YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION! Make sure you have a bootable disk with fdisk (I recommend spfdisk, see download link at the top of this page), so that you can change your active partition if it goes wrong! Also: After this step you can’t use your computer for at least 1,5 hours!

11. Right click your new partition and set it active.

12. Partition Magic restarts the computer… error…

13. Insert the DVD with OSX on it in your disk drive.

14. Restart your computer.

15. Follow the Installation steps on screen.

16. When you are in OSX, reboot your computer. If you boot nice into OSX, go to step 22, if you get ‘HFS+ Partition error’ or want to read how to create a dual boot read the next steps.

17. Insert the diskette with fdisk, change the active partition to the partition with Windows on it.

18. Boot into Windows.

19. Install Acronis Disk Director Suite, install the OS selector.

20. Start OS selector, configure (follow on screen steps) it and restart your computer.

21. After the last reboot you should see a nice dual boot menu and should be able to boot OSX.
