Hi and welcome to the forum!

I have moved you post to a more appropriate section, where you will see a lot of discussions on this subject.

You haven't told us which methods you have tried already, and whether you have access to a Mac computer or not.

Some excellent guides can be found here, and have been used successfully by a lot of our members.

No. 2 is probably the most appropriate for you, but do have a good look around first, both there, and on this forum.

Oh, and a slightly smaller font size in your posts would make them more 'readable', and less obtrusive... thanks!

it's easy... just like installing windows 7

I don't think many people would agree with you there... with Windows 7 you just put the DVD in, and leave it to get on with the installation.

There is a bit more than that to 'hackintoshing'... especially if you are using the two USB stick method!

The installation is fairly simple once your 2 USB sticks are "good".

I found success only after I created the Boot USB doing the following

1. Open the Image Writer program (it's called Win32DiskImager in the folder you extracted).
2. The small USB drive is first. Select the correct drive letter under Device, slect the NBI_083F image under Image File, press Write and then Yes. The Progress indicator will help you know when it is finished.

Then using a friend's Macbook to restore the Snow Leopard DVD to the 16gb flash drive i have:

1. Insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and USB drive.
2. Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities).
3. Click on USB drive icon that states the capacity of the drive (i.e. 7.1 Gb, 7.6 GB, etc.).
4. Open the Partition tab.
5. Set:
   • Volume Scheme: 1 Partition
   • Name: OSXDVD
   • Format: Mac OS Extended
   • Options...: Master Boot Record, then click OK.
6. Click Apply.
7. Click Partition.
8. When Partition is finished, open the Restore tab.
9. Drag "Mac OS X Install DVD" from the left pane into the Source field in the right pane.
10. Drag OSXDVD from the left pane into the Destination field in the right pane.
11. Click Restore, then click Restore in the popup window.
12. Enter your password, and then wait anywhere between 25 minutes to 2 hours for it to finish.

Good luck and if your initial install fails, install Ubuntu and then start over again...

Those are not supported here. You must make and use an image of a retail copy of the OS X 10.6 Upgrade DVD.

ok now realize, but I get this message "Can not find mach_kernel" when I turn on the pc
now that I do wrong??? if not preinstalled nothing

[WolfKeeper]

Buy a retail copy. Don't use iATKOS.
