Tutorial and experience on installing Mac lion on PC

I recently started a new iPhone 4, so I am interested in Apple products and want to use OC to write some software on the Apple platform. I think, this should not be difficult, why not? The software interface on the iOS platform doesn't have to work hard. It looks pretty for genetic reasons. So the first thing I need to do is install the latest Mac OS: Lion on my PC. The following describes the installation steps, possible problems, and solutions:

(

NOTE 1: The installation method I used is not virtual machine installation, but direct installation. It is much easier to install on a virtual machine.

NOTE 2: Since csdn cannot upload attachments, all the software mentioned below must be collected by readers on the Internet. If you need to write a mail, you can leave the necessary software: 1. Leopard HD install Helper 2, easybcd 3, and hjmac. ISO

)

First, create a hard disk partition larger than 5 GB, do not format it, And then reserve a partition for lion, its size should not be less than 10 Gb, this partition can be formatted into NTFS format, because lion can identify NTFS partitions, it can be erased again during installation for lion.

Then, open the disk installation assistant leopard HD install helper and select the lazy version of The Lion installation package (DMG format). The target partition is the unformatted partition just now, remove all the following three hooks and click Start. wait for a few minutes. It is normal that the intermediate program does not respond. then change partition type to AF: success appears at the bottom of the software.

Next, set hjmac. put ISO into the root directory of a non-system partition, and then run easybcd to add the boot file. add new entry-ISO boot (name is hjmac, mode is run from disk, path is the preceding hjmac file) and then click Add entry.
Restart, select hjmac to start, and then select the created installation disk. Then, follow the prompts of Apple to continue the next step.

After installation, startup may fail. Because the active partition is changed, you should set the original startup partition to the active partition. After that, I encountered the problem that I could access the lion, but after windows was started, I fixed the problem by modifying the BIOS settings.

After that, you can delete the hjmac guide and use the chameleon to guide the Guide (I tried it several times. Sometimes the success sometimes fails, but it doesn't affect much, because the operation of the chameleon software is very small ), you can also retain hjmac or use the previous method to migrate it to the index partition to facilitate backup.

Then the lion system is installed.

But don't be happy too early. After running the system, you may not be able to find the keyboard. The solution to this problem is:

Go to the MAC system partition and delete/system/library/coreservices/setup assistant. APP/contents/resources/devicesection. Bundle. However, in windows, Mac partitions cannot be identified directly. I know two ways. One is to install the macdriver tool to help you identify Mac partitions in windows, however, the effect is not absolutely satisfactory. When I regard the hard disk with Mac as the master disk, it is not well recognized, and when I regard this hard disk as the slave disk, it can be completely correctly identified.

In addition, if the system cannot access the Internet after running, you can try to adjust the startup sequence in the BIOS to network first, so that the NIC can be used properly by the Mac. For more reasons, refer to: http://bbs.pcbeta.com/viewthread-443723-1-1.html

My entire installation process is very difficult, not because of the complexity of the process, but the problems encountered. In addition to the problems mentioned above, I also encountered two problems worth mentioning:

No Disk startup problems. I used a USB flash drive instead. The USB flash drive can be created by downloading ultraiso. In the options, you can use the hard disk partition write option to create a winpe disk.

Hard Disk Partition Table problem: although this installation process is not necessarily related to the hard disk partition table, because many partition operations are involved, both manual and system software-related reasons (I set drive C as an active partition under XP, which may cause the partition table to be inexplicably damaged) may cause damage to the partition table. Partition Table destruction is a terrible thing. If you are lucky enough, you can find the entire table. If you are lucky, you will find a part of it. If you are lucky, you will not mention the bad luck. Most of the data is lost, in addition, this process is time-consuming and time-consuming. Therefore, we try to find a software before starting disk operations (usually available in auto-start winpe disks) to back up the partition table, in addition, I encountered an embarrassing situation when I backed up a few more places. I put the backup partition table file on a partition, and the damaged Partition Table exactly covered the partition, therefore, the previous backup is useless.

Finally, let's talk about the idea of using ghost to restore the lion system. This solution is feasible when the size of the front and back partitions remains unchanged and the format is Mac's HFS format, after all, installing Mac once is a little troublesome and risky. Therefore, it is easier to use ghost for backup and restoration. However, if the partition size is changed and the partition size becomes smaller, it will not be affected. If the partition size is not in the HFS format, you need to use a Mac installation disk or Parted Magic to format it before ghost.

Anyway, good luck!
