Then switch it back to the iBoot-Ivy-Bridge.iso and start the VM. Follow the standard directions and immediately after hitting F5, hit F8 to launch the boot chooser. This allows the drive to read properly and launch the installer for the OS. Note that I'm using an Apple approved OSx 10.6.3 disk. I've done this four or five times now, and it seems to work great.

A Hackintosh Save You? [UPDATED] How to dual-boot Windows and OS X on separate disks Tabs HOME INSTALLATION GUIDES HARDWARE RECOMMENDATIONS ADDITIONAL RESOURCES WHAT IS HACKINTOSHING? Ads Below Tabs February 8, 2012 How to install a Snow Leopard Hackintosh in Virtualbox We've already covered how to run a Mac OS Xvirtual machine with VMWare Fusionon your Hackintosh, but that tutorial won't do you much good if you haven't installed Mac OS X on your PC yet. If you need help deciding whether to make that leap of faith, then you can try installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Virtualbox, instead. Virtualbox is a virtualization suite that works for Windows-- installing Mac OS X on a virtual machine in Windows before doing it on your actual computer is great practice, and it gives you a chance to determine whether you'd actually prefer OS X over Windows. Read past the break for a full tutorial. NOTE: The following guide is for installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard only, because it uses the same method that I use for my standard Snow Leopard installation guide. For this virtual machine, we're going to use Virtualbox, which is a free and open-source virtualization suite. Installing OS X with Virtualbox on Windows is more difficult than doing it with VMWare Fusion in OS X, because Windows virtualization programs do not "officially" support Mac OS X. You will not be able to enable full graphics support, for instance. This tutorial should only be taken as a proof of concept. Computer Requirements You need a computer with Windows to run Mac OSX on Windows (of course). You will need at least 4 GB of RAM and a dual-core (two core) processor or better. Personally, the computer I was using for this had a 4-core processor and 12 GB RAM, which is way more than enough. You also need about 10 GB of unused hard drive space. Right click on "My Computer" on your desktop and click "Properties" to check the stats on your computer. If it doesn't directly tell you how many cores your processor has, look up your processor model on Wikipedia or Google. You also to note remember whether your processor is "Intel" or "AMD". This guide does not cover AMD processors, as they make Mac OS X more difficult to set up. General Requirements In addition to a good computer that uses an Intel processor, you need these following three things to run Mac OS X on Windows. Virtualbox: This virtualization suite is free (unlike VMWare), and though it doesn't offer official support for Mac OS X, it works well enough. iBoot and Multibeast: You need tonymacx86's boot CD to boot
