Best Answer

An unpatched copy of Mac OS X will not install on a standard PC. There do exist cracked versions of Mac OS X that will allow you to install it on a select variety of PCs. WikiAnswers does not provide any information on how to patch OS X, nor any information on how to install it on a non-Apple branded computer.

Apple's Mac OS X can only be installed on PCs that are made by Apple. The Legal Terms you agree to when installing Mac OS X prevent it being installed on non-Apple hardware. WikiAnswers does not provide information about performing illegal acts.
