Install Mac Leopard OS X Retail DVD on a Ordinary PC with Boot 132 hack.
1. Insert your BootCD into DVD/ROM and boot/start your PC.
2. On the boot prompt, press Enter. You will be asked to enter a two-digit hexadecimal boot device (do not press any key).
3. Remove the BootCD and replace it with the Mac OS X Retail DVD. Wait for the blinking light on your DVD drive to stop and then hit Enter (this will read your DVD drive and not your HD).
4. Perform the Mac OS X Leopard installation. You may need to use Disk Utility (under the Utilities Menu) to partition and format your HD if you haven’t already. Make sure to select GUID (under Options).
5. Restart after the installation and replace the Retail Mac OS X DVD with the BootCD.
6. On the boot prompt, press Enter. This time, enter the two-digit hexadecimal of the drive where you installed OS X. Enter 80; if it doesn’t show the startup volume of your OS X, hit Esc. Try 81, and so on until you see your OS X volume. Select it and hit Enter.
Now are in Leopard but you still won’t be able to boot your hackintosh without the BootCD. For overcome the BootCD you need to install external bootloader.
Phase two >>>
1. Open Chameleon that you download’s early.
2. Copy the contents of the Extra directory from the Generic.iso CD by drag & drop in to the Extra Contents folder in Chameleon by following this simple procedure .
Open the Generic.iso CD from your desktop. >>> Double-click on the INITRD.IMG file. >>> Double-click on the Extra folder. >>> Drag the Extensions folder to the Extra Contents folder in Chameleon
3. Double-click the Chameleon_DFE_for_Hard_Disk.pkg file and install to your hard disk.
4. Remove the BootCD and reboot.
5. You should now be able to boot into Leopard without the BootCD.

After i put in the apple retail disk, i see the grey apple logo for a split second then it goes to my bios.
Any ideas?
@ rh535 tell me in detail about your hardware & how you started the procedure.
My hardware
CPU – Intel Core Duo 2 6400
Mem: 2GB of ram
gpu: eVga 8800GTS 320mb
hd: 120GB ide drive
dvd: Nec 3540 dvd burner
i put in the boot 132 modified
when i put in my apple disc it came up with the grey apple screen for a second maybe less then my computer restarted. this would happen everytime
Would this work on a dell Inspiron E1505?
Core 2 Duo T2350 1.8 Ghz
2 GB Ram
ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
@ Rh535 Motherboard is the most important factor while installing the OSX86 on pc tell me about your motherboard.
@ Nick for laptops it always adviseable to run OSX86 check this guide for your laptop

right before the apple grey screen i get a quick message about attempting to read cpu multiplier.
There is more information but i don’t have enough time to read it.
And then the computer restarts
Hi
Trying now, but ends up with this text on screen:

Press Enter….. (and so on)
boot:

Then hangs.
Config:
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3, P45
Asus GeForce 9800GT 512MB
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400
Tried both boot132 ISOs, same issue.
Any suggestion?
BW HPN
@ HPN
So you have a Gigabyte EP45 there is a special boot 132 disk for this board try this one http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?gda2k2qmzzg
OK, enable USB keyboard support in BIOS did the trick, one step further
Now I got this after inserting Leopard disc:
===
Loading Darwin/x86
EBIOS read error: Error 0×32
Block 1627264 Sectors 64
(Two last lines displayed 4 times)
Then “Error encountered…”
Then grey OSX screen, halts with “problemsign” and spinning wheel.
This issue also solved, activated ACHI sata in BIOS.
Hey,
i have the gigabyte x58 UD5 F4 Bios and i was wondering if there´s getting retail leo to run…, a special boot 132 disk would be awesome!
greetings
Psycholab
@ HPN nice so do you have leo now or still stucked anymore.
@ Psycholab
Great you have a X58 + i7, very soon i’ll upgrade my P43 to X58 BTW i don’t have X58 so i can’t guide you but i can redirect you to reliable source check this guide.

@Vinay Prashar
yeah, this board is a miracle about 11000 points slightly overclocked in geekbench, kalyway 10.5.2 and ideneb 10.5.5 working out of the box, but i´m no x86 pro brain, guess i´m still a x86 noob, i can´t get the retail version working, i even cant update, retail keeps rebooting at F8, so i cant even install (not even any other distro with 10.5.6), and the 10.5.6 update keeps crashing when installing, i searched insanely mac, but cant get a clue , cause to much knowledge needed, and all the noob tutorials wont work me…, but nevertheless this board rocks!
guess we´ll have much fun with in in the future…
greetings
psycholab
@ Psycholab,
I’ll try my best to make an easiest guide on Reatil install on X58 & i need your support also,BTW you should try iPC 10.5.6 from PCWIZ the most amazing distro ever.
@Vinay Prashar
yep, already tried IPC 10.5.6 final, but same with xxx 10.5.6, it just reboots at bootloader F8, guess it has somethin to do with the voodoo kernel or with my bios settings, cant really figure out, the stage xnu kernel from ideneb works flawlessly , all cores detected , but as far as i know this is the only distro with that kernel…
and yes, we should definitively stay in contact and exchange our efforts and experience…
greetings
psycholab
great work mr Vinay Prashar

@ Abdul
You need to tweak your BIOS as
” Enable USB keyboard support in BIOS {if Available} ”
” Configure Sata as AHCI first if works well otherwise go for Sata as IDE ”
” Disable Floppy drive ”
” Max CPUID Value Limit – DISABLED ”
” Execute Disable Function – DISABLED ”
” Power Page:
– Suspend Mode – AUTO
– Repost Video on S3 Resume – DISABLED
– ACPI 2.0 Support – YES
– ACPI APIC Support – ENABLED “
thanx alot Vinay Prashar
i will definitely try ur guide and any particular boot loader for my motherboard
hello Mr Vinay Prashar
i didn’t find ” Enable USB keyboard support in BIOS {if Available} may be because fo i don’t have USB keyboard or mouse
please help me

Hi!
I’m pretty new to whole hackintosh world, so i hope you can help me.
I have a PC with two hard discs: one is windows xp and the other is running kalyway leo 10.5 2. I tried to boot with generic bootcd, and when it prompts boot cd i can choose only disc where leo is installed. Cant get it to boot from retail leo dvd.

@KING
Thanks for reply. Can you tell me exactly what i have to do because: i start PC with bootcd inside, push F12 to choose startup from cd, then it says BOOT CD:. I put in LEO RETAIL DVD and nothing happens (it loads previously installed darwin bootloader and only thing i can boot is hard disc with installed kalyway leo. In BIOS is set to startup only from cd.
And i forget to say that i tried ISO with modified kexts. Sorry for my english.
@ Sined
Try the procedure on Empty hard Drive.
Check your mailbox also.
Hi again.
This time I came to the “star opening screen” – and then “Mac OS X cant be installed on this computer”
This on empty disc.
In the mean time Ive tried iDeneb V1.3 10.5.5 with great luck, but I cant upgrade, and some things like Time Machine doesnt work
@ Vinay Prashar
thanks for the mail
i did every thing you suggested but things did not work for me
is it necessary to have SATA DVD Drive cause i have IDE DVD drive only
Abdul
Correction, I get to choose language, start install, then message “Cant install on this machine”
I have tried Generic and Modified but my computer just restarts once i inserted the leo cd. It loads a couple of lines then goes into a panic and restarts. I have tried so many distros but they do not work for me due to bad downloads of the iso so i need this 132 boot to work for me. My computer details are -

Hi everyone is it possible to install it on a P IV 2.4 ghz?
is a old one..the memory is a 133..i ment old one!!!
Hey Vinny, it is my understanding from what I have read that they now have a way for it to run on pre-core processors (i.e. P4′s).
Vinay,
I have found anything specific yet on my motherboard, Asrock 4-core dual sata 2. Will the generic bootloader work (I wouldn’t think so because its a via chipset) or if not, do you know if there is a modified bootloader for my type of mobo? Many thanks.
Hi Vinar Prashar
I hope you can help me. Boot 132 CD when i put in my MAC OS X v10.5.4 RETAIL DVD disc, pc came up with the gray apple screen and this is it. Wait about 3 hours but no progress.

@ Jerit
Asrock 4-core dual sata 2 has a ZT 880 Ultra Chipset it’s not possible to run Vanilla kernel for these type of chipsets, you can try your hand on iPC if it works fine,otherwise kalyway is reported successfully with your MOBO.
@ Ivan

Hi Vinay Prashar,
Excellent piece of tutorial. First time I saw a tutorial with all the supporting documents downloads.

Thank you for your time.
Have a nice day.
Thanks for the info KingofSwing. That is what I had understood as well, but I haven’t been following things lately. I had used the Leo4All v3 install to install back in the day. I had heard about Kaly as well. I might give iPC or XXX a go now that I am wanting to install osx on a different hdd.
My motherboard is asus P5Q PRO.
Please Can i know which Boot 132 iso is going to work

@ Sasq40
What is your hardware configuration.
http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/2008/GodzillaFX/1015340R/1015340Rsp2.shtml is my comps stats, it seems when i dl the isntall disk to a cd it says its burning all of it but when the cd is doen i only have like 5 gbs on it
@ Sasq40 for notebook it is always recommended to run OSX86 try iPC or Kalyway
so are u saying leopard wont work?
@ Sasq40
Leopard retail works with a dedicated boot 132 for your notebokk try to find it on Insanelymac, Or go for iPC or kalyway Vanilla kernel is as close to retail install try iPC first if not works then kalyway
Hi Vinar Prashar
Is there any available program/scrip that can automate the Phase two processes as outline by you below?
Thanks
Phase two >>>
1. Open Chameleon that you download’s early.
2. Copy the contents of the Extra directory from the Generic.iso CD by drag & drop in to the Extra Contents folder in Chameleon by following this simple procedure .
Open the Generic.iso CD from your desktop. >>> Double-click on the INITRD.IMG file. >>> Double-click on the Extra folder. >>> Drag the Extensions folder to the Extra Contents folder in Chameleon
3. Double-click the Chameleon_DFE_for_Hard_Disk.pkg file and install to your hard disk.
Hi Vinar Prashar,
The OS X 10.5.6 dmg is too big for a SL DVD . I plan on installing it on a bootable USB thumb drive.(Don’t have DL writer)
What need to be change in step 3 (below) of Phase 1 to accomodate installing the Mac OS X Retain from a thumb drive instead of DVD?
“3. Remove the BootCD and replace it with the Mac OS X Retail DVD. Wait for the blinking light on your DVD drive to stop and then hit Enter (this will read your DVD drive and not your HD).”
Thank you for your time.
Have a nice day
@ Helob
One advise for you if you are trying to install OSX86 first time then go for iPC or Kalyway Boot 132 hack is for advanced user who knows basics of OSX86. BTW there is no automated script yet for phase two.
After finishing up installing vanilla and updating to 10.5.6 my computer is slower. Like switching windows and doing everyday normal stuffs has a little lag to it. Will it always be like this?
I have the same problem as Rh535.

Yep you can make a multiboot system, it seems that you are new to Hackintosh so it’s advised before attempting any try keep backup your data if you have PC then try it on PC first for demystifying the bootloaders go through this guide http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/01/dummies-guide-to-add-osx-into-xplinuxvista-bootloaders/

This will soo not work if you system has an nforce chipset..
So far iPC , XxX osx86 and iAtkos doesnt support booting the installer from dvd or thumbdrive for nforce chipsets..
Well.. if you are using intel chipsets you are in luck
The chipsets and incompatible hardware causes most of the install problems..

Any advice?
Hello,
I am trying to install retail Mac OSX 10.5.2 on a PC with the configuration as below
Processor Type : Intel(R) Core (TM) 2 CPU E7400 @2.86 ghz Intel EM64T cabable
BIOS Version : GLG3110H.86A.0004.2008.0318.2233
I burn Boot-132 Generic ISO into a CD and boot the PC using that CD. It booted and a prompt comes like
[DR-DOS] A:\>
Then I removed teh BootCD and inserted the Mac OS X 10.5.2 retail DVD and once blinking light stops, I press enter, nothing happens.
Please let me know if I am doing some basic mistakes.
Any help will be appreciated.

Manas
# Download the Boot-132 Generic ISO here.

I think you switched them?
“modified kexts” links to “generic.iso”
“generic ISO” links to “BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY.zip”
Hi Demoniac
Thank you for your response. I tried doing boot with “generic.iso: first and then tried with “BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY.zip” and in both the cases, I am getting prompt below
[DR-DOS] A:\>
Then with both the BootCD, I removed BootCD and inserted the Mac OS X 10.5.2 retail DVD and once blinking light stops, I press enter, nothing happens.
I have SATA harddisk as well as SATA DVD driver with DVD writer. Please help me.

i have gigabyte p35 ds4 ,8800 gt just instaled ipc 10.5.6 everything works great but when i am trying to setup itunes 8.2 i have crash kernel. Any solution for this problem ?
on my sony notebook it load the grey apple logo but then it make a reboot what can i do pls help
and then it start windows i thing the reboot problem is hear often
It was meant to be a response to the article… But to answer your question:
Maybe you should try to get some kexts that works with your system, and reconfigure the files in the boot-disc. You could try to boot from USB-memory so you don’t have to burn discs all the time.
I’m new to this, I’ve only used OSX86, which has worked great. I now want to try this…
Will post my experiences.

My way.
- Flashed Bios
- put in settings manually
- boot from 132 CD or USB Stick (tried both)
- Boots till OS X Backgroup with beachball mouse more isnt come.

How to install retail mac OS x on gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3, P45
Hi!
I get to the grey Apple logo, spinning beachball for about 5 minutes, and after that it displays a “no” sign (like the ones you see with a cigarette in it where smoking is prohibeted). I’m running Core 2 Duo on ASUS mb, don’t remember which model (@ work now) – the link btw for the modified Boot 132 is no good longer?
I have tried ur steps, i use the BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY.zip to boot, I have a 10.5.6 retail
I boot with the cdm then eject insert the boot cd
I get the grey screen apple logo, and thats its, nothing changes, no sound like its reading the disc or anything
I changed the SATA config to AHCI
Mobo: ASUS P5QC
Pro: Intel Pentium 2.83Ghz Core 2 Quad
Ram: 2gb DDR3 1066
Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT
2 Pioneer DVD-RW Drives, 1 SATA, 1 IDE
2 SATA HD’s Maxtor 120gb, Western Digital 500 GB
Any help would be greatly appreciated
@ Pety Disable processor core in BIOS. You have intel based board so try iPC.
I have gotten farther in my install.
I flashed the bios with afudos, and now I was able to get past the apple logo with the gear and see the mac os x space background.
Im just stuck at the spining beach ball.
Im going to try the iPC iso, if not should I try the kalyway iso, like you mentioned earlier.
Again I appreciate any help.
@ PeteyPablo, For newbees it is always recommended to stay away from Boot 132 hack. No doubt kalyway is the best OSX86 distro
LoL, cool, so Im going to try the Kalyway disc.
I can get it to install and get to the part that says restart
It restarts
An error comes out stating EBIOS Read Error, timed out
Dont know if did something wrong or not, but Let u know
Thanks
Hi,
first of all: great tutorial!
I’m trying to install the leo retail dvd on a Asus P5KPL/1600, quad cpu, 4G ram, geforce 9500gt, booting with the Boot-132 Generic.
After inserting the Leo-dvd i get the”space-background” and unfortunately the spinning wheel, which does not stop. Nothing further is possible.
I would be very thankful for any advice.
Hi there Im kind of a noob so excuse me for being so green to this but i like the idea of trying this i’ve done some research and i figured i would try these specs plz let me know if everthing is good and what special instructions i need Thx.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
ASUS P5Q Deluxe LGA 775 Intel P45 Intel Motherboard
Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce 9600GT 1GB Silent
in the meantime i managed to install ideneb 1.4 on my system. ideneb is the only distro that gets me a working gt9500 (1024MB).
but i’m still trying to get the retail leo dvd on my system.
Hi, I tried installing LEO on the Lenovo S10 but is stuck at the spinning beach ball…Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance…
HI!!
First of all i would like to thank you. I installed osx on my hp dv9222tx laptop using this guide. I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but i need drivers to get the internet working on this mac. I have intel pro/1000 pl card. Please help
Thnks
Hi Guys,
I am struggling to make the install run on my Dell Precision 670 with IDE HDD and 2 Gb RAM – Floppy, SATA and SCSI are disabled.
It freezes on the white apple background, no matter what I set in the BIOS (I might have wrong combination though).
I’ve tried two different boot images: BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY and asus_p5w-dh_boot-132.iso, but its the same.
On the Asus image I get the following messages:
—————————-
EBIOS read error: Error 0xbb
Block 9 Sector 64
—————————-
Loading Darwin/x86
Attempting to determine CPU Multiplier. If system reboots, RDMSR 198h causes a fault.
Determined CPU:FSB multiplier to be 15
Measuring TSC frequency (e.g. CPU speed)
CPU runs at 2992.831266 MHz
BUS must therefore run at 199.522084 MHz
Anyone any clues what can I do to sort this out?
TIA,
Pimmy
Hello,
First of all thanks for this great guide.
I followed the steps but all I see after putting the OSx dvd is a gray apple screen with logo. I noticed that dvd was not being read after that.
What can be the possible fix?
My hardware config:
Intel DG 35 mobo
Intel core 2 duo quad 2.3 ghz
4gb kingstn RAM
c-gate 360 gb sata hard disk
LG pata dvd r/w
Thanks
i end up with the apple and a forbid sign over it and leopard doesn’t start the installation. my mobo dfi lp dk p45 t2rs plus. by the way the link with the modified kexts doesn’t work
Hi Vinay Prashar,
I hope you answer. When I change DVD and put the Mac OS Retail DVD on, it starts loading some kexts and then the screen change the font, some lines goes quickly and then the computer restarts. My motherboard is an “Asus P5L 1394″ and I haven’t found any image for my mobo (so I’m using the generic iso) What can I do? Hope you answer Vinay, and a lot of thanks

Great… 80% of you guys asking questions don’t even know the basic specs about your PCs/mobos (Intel Core 2 duo quad…), in some cases I’m really surprised that you managed to run Windows!
It wasn’t easy for me too to install it on P5K vanilla, but I know every little spec of my machine and some of you guys just don’t get the problem, i.e. why it is a bad idea to try it with Pentium IVs, non-Intel chipsets (all combined with a non-hacked kernel) and so on.
Just a little hint: If you describe your PC by saying “it’s a Dell” or something just stop trying to do it, because if you ain’t able to get infos about the hardware you use, how in hell are you going to do the install, bootloader and kext installing?
And no, it won’t work with IDE DVD-drives in 99% of all cases, it can’t work so you don’t need to worry about that any longer…
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t wanna tell anybody what he/she should or should not do, but if you’re not really an advanced user who understands about chipsets, graphics and hardware in general… you’re most likely just wasting your time.
scrap the last one.
i get to the apple screan for split second as described above. my computer is:
Sager np9262 built on:
Clevo D901c
intel core quad 2.83
4gig ram
2-300gb Hitachi hard drives.
do you have a special boot 132 for this?
Thank You.
Hi, ich habe ein Gigabyte EP35.DS3 gibt es da auch etwas spezielles
If I install this to a second hard drive and I have windows on the other will i still be able to duel boot? (kinda nooby at this stuff)
mobo – asus p5ql
processor – intel q9550
using vista on other hdd
If you are having the issue where you boot the CD to the grey screen with the apple OR to the leopard wallpaper with the spinning beachball, try to use this Boot CD…
http://www.4shared.com/file/53547099/b8769aab/BOOT-KABYL-BUMBY.html
It has the dsmos.kext and seems to be working for most people with the before mentioned problems.
I did not make this Boot CD, if it works for you all credit should go to K.I.S.S at InsanelyMac forums.
Good Luck!
