Installing OS X (10.2) on a PC

[j005u]

hmm is this working for anyone else? I run the bat file but nothing shows up, also now my C drive is showing 0 space free :laugh:

edit: nvm got it working, cfg wasn't right, anyways still about the 0 space on my C drive anyone else encountering this?

I don't wanna sound rude or anything, but people asking about whether or not OSX emulation can be ran as a standalone OS on PC or the problem that happens with drive being screwed up (in some cases, wiped out) should really READ the information on PearPC site. Jesus, I mean so many lazy people who just wanna get info the easy way. I guess all of us who read stuff on sites and stuff like that are obviously morons when you think that you're getting answers in 5 sec here. Phew, just needed to vent...it's gone :)

Btw, great tutorial.

^^ um ok? did I post expecting to get a quick answer no, and show me where I could find information about drives messing up as I don't see any pearpc's site or forum.

[Boz]

uni, it's not saying the drive will show 0 free space..but it is mentioned (a couple of times) that it will most definitely screw up data on your hard drive, thus anomalies.

hmm one thing I noticed is that when I set the priority of PearPC under the Task Manager to Real Time my installation of OS X was dones in about 30min.

tis working tis working :D !!!

I figured out the problem anyways, apparently there were some big temp files :|

what are you talking about? if people dindt ask questions forums like this wouldnt be half as popular. if someone wants 2 know something about computers or something specific like pearpc they have as much right to come here than pear pc site, it actually says something about the site aswel.. that theyw ud rather come here than to an official site about a certain product coz they can get better support here.

tnx for the guide, but I'm stuck. I don't know the meaning of:

"Edit that batch file and copy/paste these lines in that file.

@echo off

cd pearpc-0.1.1-win32-jitc

ppc ppccfg_HD "

could you be more specific? sorry I didn't understand it :(

[HPMCommander]

I've followed all the instructions, yet I get

[IO/IDE] <Error> C:\pearpc\HD-OS-X-Panther-PREP.img: could not open file (No err
or)

your batch file should contain those lines. Batch files are just text files .... that why I said ..made a batch file, open it up, copy and paste those lines from my guide ..

[Rek]

Batch file :)

ppc_HD.zip

[russellc]

i don't know if this is only me...but when i load it...it just shows the apple in the middle (gray apple, lighter background) and doesn't do anything for +30min...it shows 50% cpu usage though...does anybody know if its just me? or does it actually take this long?

[fahad]

I get this error when I double click ppc_HD:

ppccfg_HD: I/O error: No such file or directory
usage: ppc configfile

maybe its because I'm using 10.3?

I get this error when I double click ppc_HD:

ppccfg_HD: I/O error: No such file or directory

where did u save your config file ? ..

[fahad]

I saved it in the C:\pearpc\pearpc-0.1.1-win32-jitc folder

[Emon]

I saved it in the C:\pearpc\pearpc-0.1.1-win32-jitc folder

open a CMD window then go to C:\pearpc\pearpc-0.1.1-win32-jitc folder .. and run ppc ppccfg_HD

see what that does ..

[fahad]

same thing

[fahad]

i fixed it!

all i had to do was put ".txt" at the end

ppc ppccfg_HD.txt

thanks alot Emon!
