Install Mac OS X 10.5.4 from retail Leopard DVD on PCs

Special thanks to tseug from InsanelyMac Forum

This has been tested on a MSI 945GCM5-F V2 motherboard with the H00 BIOS, SATA hard drive, IDE DVD writer and an Apple USB Keyboard Pro. The retail DVD version was 10.5 which was released on Oct 28, 2007. And the Chameleon Boot Loader was version 1.0.11. This how-to is for those who have Intel Core-based CPU and Intel Chipsets.

Before you start, you'll need:

1. An empty hard drive, if it is not empty, backup your files, because we are going to partition it as GUID scheme.
2. A blank CD-R or CD-RW, used to burn the Chameleon ISO.
3. A retail Leopard DVD, yes, we install Mac OS X from retail DVD.
4. The 10.5.4 combo update (Get it here), I bet you know why we need this.
5. Chameleon Installer, get it at #chameleon on irc.osx86.hu
6. Chameleon GA-P35-DS4_ISO (Get it here), I think the iso is backward capatible, because it works on my 945GC set-up.
7. the kexts pack: at least it should contain dsmos.kext, and you can prepare more MODIFIED kexts like AppleACPIPlatform.kext, AppleSMBIOS.kext, IOAHCIFamily.kext, etc... (MODIFIED kexts can be found on the forum, but for me, stock kexts work without any problems.)
8. EFIStudio (Get it here), it would be much easier for you to add the gfx-strings for your video card.
9. OSX86Tools Utility (Get it here), use it to backup and install kexts.

Now let's start, shall we?

1. Burn the GA-P35-DS4_ISO using your favorite ISO burning software.
2. Boot your PC with the CD we just burned.
3. Once you get a prompt, exchange the CD with your Mac OS X retail DVD, wait a few seconds and press Enter TWICE. You should now boot into the OS X installation.
4. Click Utilities -> Disk Utility, and: 1. Erase your hard drive (You have your files backed up, haven't you?); 2. Partition it with GUID (Check Options...), the number of partitions is up to you, but make sure that the first partition is at least 30GB. In my example, I give the first partition, or the target partition, a name of Mac.
5. Quit Disk Utility and install OS X on Mac, you can de-select printers' drivers and languages that you don't need.
6. When the installer is done it will probably tell you that installation failed, because the installer couldn't set Mac as startup device. Just ignore that and click Restart. When the screen goes black, exchange your OS X DVD with the burned CD in step 1.
7. Boot into the CD, and this time, press Enter ONCE, then enter 80(or 81, it depends, if 80 shows your Windows HDD, just press ESE and enter 81) to boot into your new OS X installation. Fill out the various forms. Backup your kexts with OSX86Tools Utility to some foder named kext_10.5.
8. Now you need to install the 10.5.4 combo update, when finished, click restart.
9. Boot into the CD again, and boot into your OS X hard drive. Your PC will probably restart once. Just repeat the procedure.
10. You should now running Mac OS X 10.5.4. Backup your kexts with OSX86Tools Utility to some folder named kext_10.5.4.
11. Now you need to install the kexts pack, EFI-strings, and the Chameleon boot loader.
    install kexts (with OSX86Tools Utility): at least dsmos.kext, you can add more kexts like AppleACPIPlatform.kext, AppleSMBIOS.kext, IOAHCIFamily.kext, etc...
    EFI-string (with EFIStudio): I can only install strings for my 7300GT video card. If you cannot find your video card in the list, then you should install natit.kext or nvinject.kext with OSX86Tools Utility.
    Chameleon boot loader: the easist, just double-click on it.
12. Eject the burned CD and reboot. This time you should be able to boot into OS X without the use of the CD. It's almost done here. But for me, there is one things to do: AppleHDA.kext won't recogize my ALC888, I need to install Azallia to get 2-channel sound.
