    Yeah, it is easy and similar like Windows to install MAC on AMD but all you have to ensure is that all your hardware is compatible with the same. I would suggest you to get a new Hard Drive for this new operating system for you. Since I work on Mac OS X and I've seen many times on the net it was possible to install Mac OS X on PCs , I addressed the issue. Already there is to know is that installing Mac OS on a PC is theoretically impossible, the Apple operating system does not turn logically only on computers of the mark. Moreover, this practice is prohibited by the terms of use of the system.

    It is illegal to install Mac OS on a PC. In addition to being a source of a number of technical crap. This has not prevented some crafty to find a way to install Mac OS X on PC. While this may seem relatively simple when the configuration is unchanged from the iMac or Mac Pro is a different story if your PC is like mine with a processor like AMD. However, I also made the handling and this is what it gives:

    If the system is relatively stable, there remains still some problems such as my sound card is not detected or change the screen resolution that is bugging the system. This does not replace the purchase of a Mac but the installation of Mac OS X on a PC you will eventually test the system even if I do not recommend that you perform the manipulation.

    Here is how you can install Mac OS X directly on a hard drive:

    Burn your ISO with your burning software. Turn your PC. Personally I preferred to install it on another hard drive, taking care to disconnect my hard Windows. Boot from the CD, follow the instructions, run the installation (nothing too hard). Once installation is complete you have two options:
    1. The PC starts correctly, you're about Snow Leopard in the process of configuring the basic options (Language ...)
    2. Your PC is a black screen with an error message.


    It may be that the disk is not bootable, it can be recognized during installation, but once it is complete you see an error message appear "b ø error". This message simply means that the bone can not boot from the hard disk. If you have to mount your disks during the installation of the OS: Restart the PC at the boot on the CD it will offer to do "F8" to go to a console boot.

    Thanks for the useful post mate. I do agree with this as this is what i tried at my time. At this point when you restart the PC it will say:

    rd = disk0s1 (Disk 0 Partition 1) It is possible that the sum is different depending on where you install the OS

    If you did not make a mistake you'll see appearing on screen loading the kernel (may take several minutes to load) then you arrive on the Mac setup.

    I have the problem on my boot disk, and all the techniques proposed to address is the only one that really works with me
