Can someone help me? I tried everything to get OS X on my Vaio laptop. (DUAL BOOT)
I have "Snow Leopard 10.6.1-10.6.2 Intel AMD made by Hazard" on a disk and installed mac osx (followed instructions).
Installation was completed succesful.. after that i repaired the windows 7 boot..
I have:
-Changed the MDR file
-Tried it with older versions of EasyBCD
-Changed the boot files with EasyBCD (more than 10 different times)
I can get to the, i tought its called, Chameleon boot.. I can couse 3 different items:
RECOVER DISK - WINDOWS (NTFS) - MAC OSX
When i hit mac osx... i get this image:
Can someone help me?
Do i need to have other OSX versions? Like iDeneb, iPC OSx86 or Kalyway?

Pal DNX , it was a day when I spent thousands of hours to have a mac installation on a non mac system . Tried in intel machine , AMD machine ; tried all the available versions , and all the online tutorials . The shot you posted is the closest result of my best try . 85% of my tries ended with a kernel panic
After lossing a lot of hours and energy , I realized that it is either it is impossible to do or it is possible to only a few lucky guys . I stopped this effort coz I realized that I am not among those lucky guys . May be you are ....
Ok .. kernel panic is such a thing that displays "you got a kernel panic" or something similar ..... so the end result does not go upto that stage where you are at present .
Waiting to see what it turns out ...
Hi, 'limneos'
Thanks for the info, but plz allow me to ask u one ques.
I meant, many ;-)
1. installing mac os on a non-apple system is illegal. I've downoaded mac os x 10.6 snow leopard from TPB. So, if something goes wrong, nd I call a Microsoft authorized technician, does he have the right to mark my doings as illegal and report to apple (any ideas would help)?
2. secondly, I've got a system of 1 GB RAM, with Intel Graphics... will it be compatible with mac?
3. would be kind to plz explain it a bit more throughly here, or to my email (sober.z@live.com)? I really LOVED mac when I tried it on my friend's imac, but who wants to spend so many dollars for a macbook or something, when u already have windows 7 ultimate? I don't want to erase any important windows files, so that I don't have to REINSTALL windows back over again.
4. The windows 7 ultimate that I'm using is also downloaded from the net. I've got the bootable DVD and all, so is it still safe?
5. I hope I'm not troubling u, but 2nd last ques.: In CPU-Z, it marks my processor (Intel Pentium Dual-Core e5200 - 2.50ghz) as SSE (1, 2, 3, 3S). Is it the same as 'SSE ' and SSE 3'? Cos, in youtube, I saw one video where it was mentioned that I needed to have a 'SSE 2/3' PC. It also said that I needed to have an ATI or NVIDIA Graphics card. But, mine is of Intel, 256 mb. will mac still run?
6. in the installation instructions of the torrent, it's written that it'll load up as 64bit OS. So, it said, that I need to mention some '-v arch = i386 or arch = i386'. when do i have to mention this (since im having a x86 based system)
Thx a LOT! [in advance]
c ya!
PS iv attached the '.txt' file in the atachments. plz view it. if u wanna ans to my email, its mentioned above, feel free 2 do so.
Hi, I'm new here and found the solution for installing OS X pretty interesting. I had a couple of questions however,
1. I have Win7 already installed, is it okay to install Mac OS X right away in a different fresh partition? Or will I need to install Win7 again as well?
2. I have an .iso image of Mac OS X. I was wondering if Macs support isos. Can some vouch for that and confirm if going forward with burning an iso on a DVD should work?
Thank you for the solution anyway :)
How do you switch between the 2 operating systems?? And what is the chance that you will lose all of your data?? Also, is it possible to do this setup through a usb drive or a mounted iso file??
