    hey, i just had to buy a new laptop about 3 weeks ago, i ended up getting the HP dv2745se. then about 2 days ago, my ibook logic board went bad (talk about bad luck).

    istead of having to purchase a new macbook, does anyone know if it is possible to boot OS X onto my HP, using the Mac hard drive in an external HD enclosure?

    if so, could you tell me how?

    thank you!

    Thread closed...running OS X on non-Apple systems is against their EULA and our forum rules.
