Restart PC using iDeneb DVD, install it into new partion 3. After finished iDeneb installation, it will put a dual boot configuation automaticlly 4. When you starting your PC, Mac OSX Leopart will be chosen at first OS for your PC, if you want to use Windows OS, please press any key when you see Darwin boot screen to chose your OS you want. IDeneb is a Mac OSX Leopard relase modified by Layne and iHackintosh Team, to run on non-Apple computers. This universal relase can run both on Intel and AMD based machines. The current version, iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5, has EFI support, but it can't boot on old macines due the less of Non-EFI boot. This drawback has been worked out with Chameleon bootloader, that can install also on SSE2 computers.

Ideneb Version 1.3

For the past couple of weeks, I was debating if I should change my HP Mini netbook (running window 7 starter) into a mac. After countless hours debating and researching, I finally decided to do it. It wasn’t easy, and I had numerous errors (mostly stupid mistakes), but I finally got it. Here’s the guide that I copied from (I did usb from a pc, since I don’t have a Mac):

OS X Install Guide
Introduction
This guide will walk you through installing OS X using iDeneb 1.3. There are other guides that show you how to install using the official Apple Mac OS X Leopard disks, but this guide is not related. With that said, let’s turn your 110 into an ultra-portable hackintosh!

Things You’ll Need:

An HP/Compaq Mini 110-series netbook with at least 16GB or more disk space available. Note: make sure BIOS version is version 0.5 or higher.
An 8GB or larger flash drive or an external USB DVD drive.
A USB mouse (needed until the trackpad kexts are installed.)
A copy of iDeneb version 1.3 (not v1.4, 1.5, etc.)
The HP Mini OS X Essential Files, found here: Download
An additional USB flash drive (optional, but helpful)
The most important thing that you’ll be needing is a copy of iDeneb OS X version 1.3 disk image. For legal reasons I will not supply a direct link to a download location. All I can say is that Google and torrents are your best friend. Just make sure to acquire version 1.3. Steer clear of other versions. With that said, let’s get on with it!

Creating a Bootable iDeneb Installation

If it were only this easy…

There are several ways to go about creating an iDeneb installation, choose the one that is most compatible and easiest for you.

Installing iDeneb onto USB Flash Drive using a Mac RECOMMENDED METHOD

Open up Disk Utility.app in /Applications/Utilities/
Select the drive you will be using in the left-hand pane
Click the “Erase” tab
Under “Volume Format”, then select Mac OS Extended
Click “Erase”
Click the “Restore” tab
Locate your iDeneb image file (.iso) and double-click it, it will open in Disk Utility
In Disk Utility you should now see iDeneb in the left pane with another image under it with the Apple logo next to it
Drag the image to the “Source” location
Drag your USB flash drive you have erased to the “Destination” location
Click “Restore”
Open up UInstaller and select your newly formatted drive
Check the “Install PC_EFI v9 Chameleon Edition 1.0.12″ checkbox
Click “Install”
Be sure copy the HP Mini Essentials .zip file onto the flash drive, you’ll need it later on in the installation!
You have now created a bootable iDeneb image.
Insert your flash drive into your Mini, reboot, and press F9 at the HP Logo.
Choose to boot from your USB Flash drive.
Continue to the Installation part of this guide.
Installing iDeneb onto a DVD using a Mac (You’ll need a USB DVD drive if you go this route.)

Find your iDeneb image file (.iso) and double-click on it
Open up Disk Utility.app in /Applications/Utilities/
Click on your iDeneb image on the left pane
Click the “Burn” button on the top of the window
Plug your USB drive/DVD drive into your Mini and reboot it
When the HP logo appears upon restart, quickly press F9
Once to the boot menu, select your USB DVD drive from the list of boot devices
You’ll need that spare flash drive now, or burn another CD with the HP Mini Essentials .zip file on it. You’ll need it later on in the installation.
Continue onto the next part of the guide, “Installation”.
Installing iDeneb onto a DVD using Windows (You’ll need a USB DVD drive if you go this route.)

If you don’t have ISO burning software already, download an ISO burning program. A simple Google search yields a freeware ISO burner: http://www.freeisoburner.com/
Select the iDeneb.iso as the source, or open up the ISO via your current compatable burning software.
Insert a blank DVD into the drive and burn on the slowest burning settings possible. Why? Some users have reported issues when installing using burned copies due to corrupt, missing files, etc. Burning on slow settings reduces these chances.
You’ll need that spare flash drive now, or burn another CD with the HP Mini Essentials .zip file on it. You’ll need it later on in the installation.
Hook up your USB DVD drive to your Mini and put in your iDeneb CD.
Reboot your Mini
Press F9 at the HP logo screen.
Choose to boot from your USB DVD drive.
Continue on to the next part of the guide, “Installation”
Installing iDeneb onto a USB flash stick using Windows

Note: this can be done but it isn’t any faster and much more frustrating. If you don’t have a USB DVD drive for your mini, I recommend purchasing one, or borrowing one and installing OS X. I say this because it is way less frustrating to install iDeneb onto a flash drive using Windows. With that said, here’s instructions how anyways. Also, some flash drives have better luck than others, AKA, a high quality, name brand flash drive will have a better chance of working than a $2 thumb drive in the bargain bin at the convenience store.

Format your USB flash drive to FAT32 file system. Not sure how? Details here: http://www.ehow.com/how_2006214_format-flash-drive.html
Make your USB drive bootable. There are a few different utilities to do this with. I suggest using the HP USB Boot Utility. Download here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?swItem=MTX-UNITY-I23839
Download a program called DDMac to burn the iDeneb ISO to the flash drive. Download DDMac here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lm3alzzyhm1
Download the .zip file and open DDMac along with the EnglishGUI.png file to know what you’re doing.
a) Select your ISO file.
b) De-select the box that says “tboot.ini boot.ini” with a bunch of other question marks.
c) De-select the box that is beside the drop down area where you select your drive.
d) Select your USB flash drive from the drop down list.
e) Reselect the box beside the drop down menu again.
f) Press the button right beside this box and it will start.
Follow the instructions in the English_GUI on the DDMac. It is pretty straightforward. Click the start button, and let it do its thing. DO NOT CLICK ON THE PROGRAM WHILE ITS RUNNING! If you get a message that states your drive is write protected part way through the burn, your USB flash drive is faulty and is not capable of getting the iDeneb ISO burned to it. You’ll need a different flash drive if you want to continue with this method.
Be sure to also add in the HP Mini Essentials .zip file to your flash drive also. You’ll need it later on in the installation.
If your USB flash drive has survived (lol) the burning proccess with DDMac, insert the USB flash drive into your HP Mini 110 if it wasn’t already and reboot it.
As soon as the HP Logo appears, quickly press F9 to reach the boot menu.
Select your USB Drive to boot from, and if the burn was successful, it should boot into the OS X installation. If not, then you’ll either need to retry burning or move on to a different method of getting iDeneb onto your USB flash drive or move to DVD installation.
The Installation
Note: You will not be able to keep your current install of XP, so be sure you have backed up anything you want saved.

1. After successfully getting your iDeneb install to boot, the installer will now begin. The grey screen with the Apple logo will appear breifly until you are presented with the language selection screen. Select your language and click “Next”. If you have troubles seeing the button, hit Tab on your keyboard, then Space.

2. Go to the top of the screen where it says “Utilities”. From this menu, select “Disk Utility”

3. Click on your Mini’s hard drive in the left pane.

4. Click on the “Erase” tab.

5. Under Volume Format, select Mac
