I think the PC needs to at least have EFI as part of the boot process. Could be wrong, but that may be part of the issue with this.

It is illegal to obtain them from torrent sites by searching under the following keywords: “VMWare files for patched Mac OS X Tiger Intel”

This was hilarious!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, I type in the dd if=c:tiger-x86-flat.img of=\.PhysicalDrive2 and it says that the output path is on a local hard drive. specify the –localwrt option if you want to write to a local drive. So how would i do that? Thanks

I have completed all the steps successfully. When I boot from the external HD, the Darwin prompt comes up. I have tried all options(-x, -s, -F, -v), but it just shows me the darwin loading prompt and it then comes back to the boot prompt. Please tell me how to overcome this problem!

What advantages and differences there are between installing OSX on a partition from the main drive to install it to a external HD?

But why, when you could just buy a used MacMini + Keyboard/Mouse/Display switch, place it on top of your PC case, connect the machines by Ethernet and set up respective shares?!?

So, it costs a couple of hundred euros more, but not only will it be a faster and more stable solution, you save yourself hours of frustration and can utilise the time to find a girlfriend!!!
