A few days ago I installed OS X Leopard on two different PC’s, a Compaq laptop and a SuperMicro Dual Quad-Core Xeon powerhouse with 8GB ram. Both machines run OS X Leopard perfectly and the installation process was just as straightforward and easy as installing OS X on a Mac, only a few extra steps!
So how did I install OS X Leopard on my PC? Simple: iATKOS v1.0i
Do a quick search using your favorite torrent search portal for “iATKOS v1.0i” , download it, burn to DVD, pop that puppy into your test computer’s DVD drive and reboot**. During the install process there are a few extra steps so I will list what you need to do below:
# When the Welcome screen pops up click Continue
1. At the Terms & Conditions screen do not click Agree yet, click Utilities on the Apple bar at the top of your screen and then select Disk Utility from the drop down menu (Utilities > Disk Utility).
2. Select your hard drive’s partition on the left hand side then select the Erase tab on the right.
3. Now click the Erase button on the bottom right and click Erase again on the pop-up. When this is complete close the Disk Utility.
4. Now go back up to the Apple menu bar and select Utilities > Darwin_Boot
5. Type Y (yes) to continue, 1 for your HDD number (if your using the main HDD), and 1 again for the partition number OS X will be installed on (if your installing on a different partition enter that partition number instead of 1).
6. Type Y (yes) to install boot efi and type Y (yes) again to confirm. Once it this process in complete it will display [process completed] and you can now exit out of Darwin_boot.
7. Please read the Terms & Conditions for iATKOS v1.0i and click Agree (if you agree).
8. Now your ready to install OS X Leopard on your PC, just follow the on screen guide and your good to go!
Best of luck!

jay,
any chance of posting details of exactly what you did to get it installed on the Dell optiplex? I am using v7 to install onto my Dell optiplex 755 right now but after the initial install the machine reboots, loads the grey apple screen then just hangs.
I am wondering if there are any bios settings I have wrong or what special steps/customisation you did during the install etc.
Thanks

Have now wasted several DVD’s following ‘insufficient’ instructions! (@&^#) Why don’e techies explain things better? When they say ‘download and burn the .iso file’ they must mean ‘extract the files and burn them’ or maybe there is some other method of imprinting the .iso files to the CD, but it definitely is not just ‘burn it!’ because all you get is a ‘COPY’ of the .iso file that way. Could someone please clarify this??
