How Not to Install OS X on Intel

There are a number of ways not to install Mac OS X on Intel hardware. Here’s one way that surely won’t work.

Don’t go to any “pirate bays” and download any file named MacOSx 10.4.3 8F1111A Patched Jas v4.2b.iso. It obviously would be of no use. To make matters worse, you could go so far as to burn and boot said file and really mess things up. If any hard drives were to not appear during the messing-up, Disk Utility wouldn’t be able to format them to Mac OS Extended (Journalled), unfortunately. Following through would simply be a complete disaster.

Wink.

  1. Damned Hackers, fouling up perfectly good Windows(TM) machines. When will you ever learn?

    :-P

  2. Darn it Collin! I was just about to do just that!

    Thanks for dashing my hopes. ;-)

  3. Well, now even if we wanted to attempt to kill our beloved windows machines, we can’t, at least not at pirate bay. it’s gone.

  4. its perfectly fine, ive installed and running and it makes windows look like crap. thats hard to say after never using mac os before or touching a mac. u should all try it if u haven’t. if you still don’t believe me try the one on the ship called MAC.OS.X.PC.ALPHA.2-KOTR….cya

  5. Don’t know what you guys are on about, it works perfectly. No problems what so ever. Diskutility can format a macosx disk on your intel machine. I’m now using it with no problems. Alla mac software i tried so far works like a charm.
