Thanks a lot guys i appreciate your input and knowledge

Yes you should be able to install Mountain Lion on that but with the Graphics your won't get the full benefit. You wont have full acceleration but I can help with the resolution. Do you have access to a mac either an actual mac or in vmware?

Cool. I dont have access to a mac i tried installing in vmware but it would not let me. Something about the CPU?

Ok Grab a copy of Mountain Lion 10.8 retail DMG for your favourite source and download TransMac. Open the DMG file with TransMac and if you see a file named BaseSystem.dmg there post back.

Ok mate cheers

OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Golden Master. That ok? Not sure what the golden master part means lol

[Shaneee]

Golden Master is the same as the final version. That one will do the job

[Litos]

There is a basesystem.dmg and basesystem.chunklist

[Shaneee]

Extract BaseSystem.dmg, The Packages folder and mach_kernel to your desktop or where ever you please.

Using Transmac right click on your Pendrive 8GB or more and restore with disk image and select the BaseSystem.dmg.

Once thats done, Using Transmac navigate on your pendrive to System/Library/Installation and delete the Packages file and replace it with the folder and place mach_kernel on the root of the USB.

Then burn this ISO to a CD and boot the CD with your pendrive plugged in and hover your USB and type -v then enter

OS X 10.8 boot cd.iso.zip

You sir are a legend!

So once i have done these steps, i can then install without any other method needed?

Also, if i have a partition which stores stuff, would i be able to leave this untouched or do i need to use the entire HDD?
