If you have a desktop PC, the easiest way is to just get a 2nd hard drive. Then after the install, go into your BIOS setup and make sure your Vista hard drive is set to boot first. In Vista, download EasyBCD and use it to add OS X Leopard to your boot list.



If you have a laptop, download the LiveCD version of GParted and burn it to a CD with ImgBurn. Then boot to the CD and shrink one of your partitions so you have a place to install it. You should have an unallocated space now. From that space, create a new partition (it doesn't matter what kind since you'll have to reformat it during the OS X install anyway). Now shutdown and eject the GParted CD, then boot to your hacked OS X install disc and install OS X. By default your computer will now use the Darwin (OS X) bootloader, which should list both OS X and Vista. If you want to use the Vista bootloader, you'll have to boot into Vista and make change the active partition to the Vista partition in the Command Prompt. Then use EasyBCD again to add OS X to your boot list.



No matter which method you use, once you have the install disc booted you'll have to open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu and format your install disk to HFS+ (click Erase and make sure "Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)" is selected). All of the ones you mentioned are patched versions, though whether or not you'll be able to successfully install and run OS X depends on your hardware, though. Don't expect to get a perfect working install out of it and don't expect to get it installed without any snags along the way. There's a lot of info and plenty of dual-booting guides on the InsanelyMac forums, so check there if you get lost or stuck.

You can get the answer by googling

1) Use Kalaway OS X (google) it is already prepatch before download on BT

2) You just have to add an entry on Windows XP boot menu (google) to select which OS to boot from

3) You need to repartition your harddisk defrag and resize your partition using Gparted (google)



Word of warning

1) It is illegal to install Mac OS X on a non apple machine

2) It is illegal to install a pirated Mac OS X

3) Not all your device (i.e Bluetooth Wireless ) will work as OS X supports only devices in Apple Machines

For those that don't work google for it someone may have coded (modfied) a driver for that device for Mac OS X

definite you are able to, there is an entire undertaking in this. Google Osx86, and you will discover articles on a thank you to try this. additionally look into Insanely Mac. you will might desire to discover a Leopard image to burn onto a DVD- from substances which contain Kalyway or Leo4All which you will discover from torrents yet it is against the regulation as you're turning out to be a Leopard disc for unfastened. as quickly as you have burnt the disk you are able to placed it into the workstation and follow the setup training you are able to the two get rid of the working equipment on your complete perplexingcontinual so which you in basic terms have Leopard on your workstation or chop up your perplexingcontinual (partition it) so 0.5 of that's for the homestead windows OS and 0.5 is for Leopard, it is reported as twin Booting. or you may get an exterior perplexingcontinual and set up leopard on there so as quickly as that's put in you plug it into the workstation and from the workstation bios exchange the booting order so it boots from the exterior HD consequently the workstation will load up Leopard particularly than homestead windows. that's unlawful, buggy and in basic terms works nicely in case you have sturdy workstation specs which contain large RAM and a competent portraits card. follow the educational from the Osx86 wiki and Insanely Mac nicely 'reason that's complicated. And keep in mind getting the leopard disc is against the regulation except you strengthen into an Apple developer or purchase a valid Leopard disk (for Mac) from Apple, do no longer use it and then acquire the Leopard disk from a torrent.
