Image via WikipediaThis is a log of events and steps taken to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard to on a normal PC. It will be updated as I progress.
- Attempted to Install Mac OS X 10.4 on a Mac Compatible machine. After successful install the machine restarts and gives an error message asking to "Reset the computer". Several repeated attempts later also failed. I Suspect an error with the Hardware itself.
- Set up a Hackintosh USB flash drive. Attempted to install it on the same machine to confirm whether its a hardware or software error. The error still persists, this time the machine restarts during the Apple logo screen.
- Set up Hackintosh successfully on a different machine (will be referred to as Mac_B from here on). Mac_B is now currently running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
- Downloaded the iPhone SDK 4 and XCode 3.2.3 (requires free ADC account) and install them. The installation failed because it requires the OS to be updated to at least Mac OS X 10.6.2 (current version 10.6)
- Downloaded the latest update for Snow Leopard Manually (must choose the "Combo" update if you plan to jump the versions in between your current and the latest). After the update Snow Leopard starts up but gets stuck on a blue screen that it refuses to go past.
- Tried re-installing Snow Leopard via USB flash drive again, the installation seems to have rolled it back to Mac OS X 10.6 and left all the files on the hard disk untouched.
