Mac on ASIs with dif hard drive

[Asadpasat]

I have Asus and dell laptops. I took out the hard drive from dell. So can I put the hard drive into the ASUS and install Mac on it and if needed just switch back the hard drive and have windows?

Um what? Are you trying to Hackintosh something?

We'll ok I have to swap the two hard drives. So one will have Mac and second Microsoft and when I need Mac or windows I would just swap the hard drives. Would it work ?

Have you tried the following Hackintosh specific fora and websites yet, which focus on installing and using Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware?

• tonymacx86 Blog - very good guides and quite good message board
• InsanelyMac Forum
• InsanelyMac Hardware Database
• Hackintosh.com
• OSx86 Project

You realize Windows and Mac use two completely different formats, right? Windows is MBR and Mac is GUID, and if you use mac you will have to format the drive as GUID. And, taking a HDD from one computer to another may have issues if it has Windows XP-7, as the Asus may be intel and the Dell may be AMD and you will get BSOD's due to the processor switch.

Best idea - buy a true mac.
Second best idea - hackintosh the more compatible one of the two, and leave the other Windows.

OP. This may help to explain to you why we are somewhat confused.

You are asking your questions on a PowerPC Mac forum about Macs that were made before 2006. OS X for PowerPC NEVER ran on ANY Windows machine without an emulator.

Your questions are more relevant to INTEL Macs, Macs made after 2006. As such, you're in the wrong forum.
