First of all, Hats OFF to the whole OSx86 Community especially to DFE , Stickpin , Llauqsd. I’m just here to helping you with a clean documentation.If you are not interested in Dual boot & want’s to install OSX Leopard Retail Standalone then follow this guide Click HERE.

.

1] Make backup of your Hard Drive result’s may vary with hardware to hardware.

2] Download the image of USB-Boot-132 Loader here

3] If you’ve followed the guide by stickpin, proceed to step 5. If not, borrow a computer with OSx86 or a real Apple one to modify the INITRD.IMG according to the needs of your motherboard & other devices. Just drag/drop any necessary kext(s).

4] Now open Disk Utility and restore the “BOOT132USB” to your USB-Flash Drive (at least 256MB capacity). Make sure you check the “Erase destination” option.

5] Follow this guide by llauqsd to prepare a self-booting (Retail) Leopard DVD Installer (boot-132 + retail leopard dvd installer into 1). But more importantly, the guide provides for installation in MBR partitions. Don’t worry, the installer is still vanilla coz you’re just “telling” it to recognize MBR partitions.

6] Now that you have your USB-Boot-132 Loader & a (Retail) Leopard DVD Installer for MBR partitions, let’s get the installation started.

7] Boot your (target) computer with your (Retail) Leopard DVD (MBR) Installer.

8] After the “Choose Installation Language”, open Disk Utility. Make three (3) partitions. 1st partition for your WinXP, 2nd partition for your Boot-132 (size should be a little bigger than the capacity of your USB-Boot-132 Loader), then 3rd partition for your Leopard. Make sure they’re MBR partitions. 1st & 2nd partitions should be MS-DOS (FAT) and 3rd partition Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

9] Reboot and replace Leopard installer with Win XP installer. We’ll have to install WinXP first. When you’re happy with your Win XP, let’s install Leopard.

10] Now let’s boot with your (Retail) Leopard DVD (MBR) Installer again. Then open Disk Utility again.

11] Plug-in your USB-Boot-132 Loader and restore it to the 2nd partition. Make sure you check the “Erase destination” option. When done, exit Disk Utility.

12] Proceed with the Leopard installation.

13] After successful installation, open Terminal application before your computer automatically restarts.

14] We now have to make the 2nd partition (your Boot-132 Loader) active. Enter the following in Terminal:

diskutil list (lists your computers Hard Disk(s) and corresponding partition(s): take note of the Hard Disk where you have the partitions for the Boot-132 and your newly installed Leopard)

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (where 0 is the appropriate disk identifier)

f 2 (where 2 is the correct partition number for your Boot-132)

write

y

exit

15] Quit Terminal and reboot.

16] At reboot, make sure you remove the Leopard installer from the optical drive and if everything goes well, you’d have the options of either booting Win XP or Leopard.

Install Mac Leopard OS X Retail DVD on a Ordinary PC with Boot 132 hack.

THNX to David Eliott master behind the Boot 132 hack which allows us to Install OSX on P.C. with the Unmodified retail version of mac OSX Leopard. The main benifit of Retail install over modified distro install is with retail install you can update your system directly from apple software updater just like an original Mac Machine.So forget about iAtkos, kalyway, Leo4all etc. & move with retail Install.

Download the Chameleon for Hard Disk here.

Download the Boot-132 Generic ISO here.

If don’t works than download the more modified version.

Download Boot-132 ISO with modified kexts here.

Before we starts let’s see how it works >>> you burn an Boot-132 Generic ISO (which has the bootloader on it) to a CD/DVD, after it gets to the boot prompt, you press ESC or ENTER and it prompts for a new BOOT DEVICE, you swap the BOOT CD/DVD with the LEO Retail DVD, you press enter and it shows you the name of the bootable partition from the DVD, you press enter and Leo starts to load. Some people pays money to E-FIX for this free & simple trick.The guide is divided into two phase’s first one is for Installing the OSX & second one is to elimnate the need of BootCD evry time while booting.Ready with your poison let’s start.

First of All burn Boot-132 Generic ISO into a C.D. in following tutorial term Boot-132 Generic ISO is replaced with BootCD.

Phase One >>>

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.
