iBoot + MultiBeast: Install Mac OS X on any Intel-based PC

Any OSx86 installation guide can seem daunting at first glance, especially when trying to remember cryptic terminal commands and sorting through volumes of misinformation on the web.  This guide requires no coding, terminal work, or Mac experience of any kind.  You will not need access to a Mac.  In fact, it's easier and faster for me to install Snow Leopard with fully working components on my system than it is to install Windows 7.  And more fun.

The iBoot + MultiBeast method is designed and tested for any desktop or laptop running the latest line of Intel processors, the Core i3/i5/i7s.  I have had reports of success with older machines as well including CoreDuo, Core2Duo, and even Pentium 4.  However, AMD processors are not supported.

YOU WILL NEED

  • A computer running an Intel Processor
  • A blank CD
  • A Mac OS X Snow Leopard Retail DVD
  • To leave any fear of your computer at the door.
  • Patience and humility- it may not work out perfectly the first time- but with enough tenacity and grit, you'll reach the promised land.  It's easy to get frustrated, but don't give up!  There are a community of users with similar hardware in the tonymacx86 Forum to provide support if you get stuck.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
  • If you have greater than 4gb of RAM, remove the extra RAM for a maximum of 4gb.  You can put back any extra RAM in after the installation process.
  • Use only 1 graphics card in the 1st PCIe slot with 1 monitor plugged in.
  • Remove any hard drives besides the blank drive being used for OS X.
  • Remove any USB peripherals besides keyboard and mouse.
  • Remove any PCI cards besides graphics- they may not be Mac compatible.
  • If using a Gigabyte 1156 board, use the blue Intel SATA ports- not the white Gigabyte SATA ports.
  • It's best to use an empty hard drive- you will have to partition and format the drive. 
  • Always back up any of your important data.
STEP 1: BIOS SETTINGS
You will need to set your BIOS to ACHI mode and your Boot Priority to boot from CD-ROM first.  This is the most important step, and one many people overlook.  Make sure your bios settings match these.  It's not difficult- the only thing I did on my Gigabyte board besides setting Boot Priority to CD/DVD first was set Optimized Defaults, change SATA to AHCI mode, and set HPET to 64-bit mode.

STEP 2: INSTALL MAC OS X 

In order to boot the Mac OS X Retail DVD, you'll need to download and burn iBoot.  For desktops and laptops using unsupported Intel CPUs and graphics, a legacy version of iBoot can be downloaded here.
  1. Download iBoot
  2. Burn the image to CD
  3. Place iBoot in CD/DVD drive
  4. Restart computer
  5. At boot prompt, eject iBoot


  6. Insert your Mac OS X Snow Leopard Retail DVD and press F5
  7. When you see the screen below, press enter to begin the boot process
  8. When you get to the installation screen, open Utilities/Disk Utility.  NOTE: If you cannot get to the installation screen, retry from Step 4, type PCIRootUID=1 before hitting enter. If that doesn't work then try PCIRootUID=1 -x or just -x which will enter Mac OS X Safe Mode and will allow you to proceed. For some graphics cards, use GraphicsEnabler=No boot flag to proceed. 
  9. Partition your hard drive to GUID Partition Table
  10. Format your hard drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).   NOTE: The bootloader can only boot from a disk or partition of 1 TB or less.  Partition larger drives.
  11. For the purposes of this guide, name it Snow Leopard.  You can rename it later.
  12. Close Disk Utility
  13. When the installer asks you where to install, choose Snow Leopard
  14. Choose Customize‚ and uncheck additional options.  This will hasten the install process.  You can always install this stuff later.
  15. Restart computer.
  16. Place iBoot back in drive.
  17. When you get to the boot selection screen, choose your new Snow Leopard installation.
  18. View the super-cool Mac OS X Snow Leopard Welcome Video, and set up your computer!

STEP 3: UPDATE TO 10.6.8
  1. Open Finder and navigate to your Snow Leopard drive.
  2. Right-click and delete Mac OS X Install Folder.  This folder is an unnecessary remnant of the installation process, and serves no purpose.
  3. Download the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update
  4. Download MultiBeast
  5. Open MultiBeast- don't run it yet, just leave it open.  Set up windows as shown.
  6. Mount MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8.dmg
  7. Install MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8.pkg
  8. Upon completion, the installer will ask you to reboot.  DO NOT REBOOT.
  9. Switch to the already open MultiBeast.  If it closes, just re-open it.
STEP 4: MULTIBEAST
MultiBeast is an all-in-one post-installation tool designed to enable boot from hard drive, and install support for Audio, Network, and Graphics. It contains two different complete post-installation solutions: EasyBeast and UserDSDT.  In addition it includes System Utilities to rebuild caches and repair permissions and a collection of drivers, boot loaders, boot time config files and handy software.

Choose one of the following options directly following a fresh installation and update:  

EasyBeast is a DSDT-free solution for any Core/Core2/Core i system. It installs all of the essentials to allow your system to boot from the hard drive. Audio, Graphics and Network will have to be enabled separately.  

UserDSDT is a bare-minimum solution for those who have their own pre-edited DSDT. Place your DSDT.aml on the desktop before install. Audio, Graphics and Network will have to be enabled separately.  HINT: Check the DSDT Database for a pre-edited DSDT.
  1. Run MultiBeast.
  2. If you have a custom DSDT that's been edited, place the file on your desktop and choose UserDSDT.
  3. All others select EasyBeast 
  4. Select System Utilities.
  5. Optionally, you may install further drivers via Advanced Options to enable ethernet, sound, graphics, etc...  Be sure to read the documentation provided about each installation option.  NOTE: EasyBeast, and UserDSDT install the bootloader by default, so you'll not need to check that option.     
  6. Install to Snow Leopard- it should take about 4 minutes to run scripts.
  7. Eject iBoot.
  8. Reboot- from your new Snow Leopard installation drive.

Congratulations!  You're done!!

Your PC is now fully operational, while running the latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard!  And you have a nice Boot CD to get into your system in case things go awry.  Boot your system from iBoot if you have issues.  You may run MultiBeast as often as you like.

If you can't boot, try typing -x at the boot prompt to enter safe mode, or just boot with iBoot.  When you get to the desktop, you can make all of the changes you need to.  The best way to start fresh is delete whatever you're trying to get rid of- including the whole /Extra folder, as most kexts are installed there.  Then you can re-run MultiBeast.  As long as you rebuild caches and repair permissions after you're done, you can do just about anything you want to /Extra/Extensions and /System/Library/Extensions.  Anything can be tweaked and enabled upon subsequent uses of MultiBeast.

If you've had success using iBoot + MultiBeast, Plz share this post and like our Facebook page.  We're constantly updating and tweaking our tools to help you.

What is Phishing ?

Phishing-definition in terms of social networking

You should have heard this term a lot but what exactly phishing means..
Phishing is a process to get victim in a trap actually by a fake login page which looks the same as the one of that site.
This Process involves a PHP Script which along with that fake login page is uploaded by a Hosting site which support PHP Scripts.
The Login page is redirected to the PHP script instead of the login attempt or Home page of that account.
This is the most easiest and widely used process to get into the victim account.

So, you should be beware of such pages and report it to Google If you encounter,

Samsung Galaxy S3 to get 16MP Camera & S5K2P1 CMOS Sensor

There are many rumors around the web claiming that the new Samsung Galaxy S3 phone would get a 16 Megapixels Camera, which would just make this phone directly call a Camera Phone rather than a smart phone. But these cannot be true unless Samsung officially confirms the same. Generally companies upgrade their devices to 12Mp of camera if the prior device have had 8Mp but lets wait and watch what Sammy is going to offer us. The current specifications are rumored that the phone would get around 1.5 or 2Gb of RAM and a 2Ghz of dual-core processor and a 32Gb of inbuilt memory. The expected launch would be around the first quarter of 2012 before which we can expect Sammy to already sell around 25 Million units because the first 10 Million units were sold within first 4 months and now since its available almost world wide the number of sales would be bound to touch the sky.
All of this information clearly shows that Apple is seriously getting a huge competition from Samsung, and its not just limited to their Mobile Phones but also in the Smart TV & Laptops sector. Samsung is on a launching spree and is announcing something Awesome every other day with the product being either at par with the other products in the industry or more advanced than them. We will keep you updated on this Galaxy S III phone and update you with more information whenever available.

Windows 8 will now load in under 10 seconds. Of course, everything else — firewall, spam and virus filters, messaging software, Adobe updates, yadda yadda — will continue to take five minutes .
2. Faster Crash Times
Windows 8 is guaranteed to crash more quickly and thoroughly than any version of Windows yet invented. Thus the new Microsoft slogan: Boots in 10, Crashes in 20, Restores whenever it gets around to it.

3. The Toolbar Ribbon
These holdovers from Office 2010 combine every tool you could possibly want in one easy to use place. As with BSODs, the ribbons will come in customizable colors.

5. Developers Developers Developers
Microsoft is now have official build application support for the developers
6. DOS Window
While not actually a new feature, the DOS prompt has been a part of Windows for so long that no one left at Microsoft can figure out how to get rid of it.

Windows 8 features a newly streamlined desktop built with the modern computer user in mind. It has bright, colorful icons and a handy system tray area with approximately 79 unlabeled symbols. We’re pretty sure they all do something really important.
8. Extremely Touch-Sensitive Interface
Win8 will respond to touch as well as mouse and keyboard. One tap will open documents, two taps will launch applications, three taps means you’re starting to get a little impatient, and gentle stroking with the tip of your finger means you’re looking forward to doing the deed but have an early appointment the next morning and can’t spend the night cuddling despite how much you really want to.
