The second step we need to perform to prepare for the clean install is to create a bootable version of the OS X Mavericks installer.

Back Up Your Startup Disk Using Disk Utility (clone) And second, you can use the Time Machine backup or clone as the source for migrating your user data back to your startup drive after OS X Mavericks is installed. My recommendation is based on two things, First, I'm paranoid about backups, and prefer to have multiple copies for safety. I recommend performing a Time Machine backup and creating a clone of your startup drive.

Since the clean install process will erase all of the data on your startup drive, we must have a current backup before we can begin.

We're going to start the process by taking care of two preliminary tasks that must be performed.

A startup drive that contains OS X Snow Leopard or later, and that you're willing to erase.

This can be a Time Machine backup or a clone of your startup drive.

A backup of your current startup drive.

A Mac that meets the minimum requirements for OS X Mavericks.

The OS X Mavericks Installer, available from the Mac App Store.

What You Need for a Clean Install of OS X Mavericks

This works fine for the upgrade install and the non-startup drive install, but it doesn't allow you to erase your startup drive, a necessary process if you want to perform a clean install. Instead, you run the installation app directly on your Mac under the older version of OS X. Unlike the older versions of OS X that were distributed on optical media, the downloaded versions of OS X don't provide a bootable installer. However, when it comes to performing a clean install of Mavericks on a startup drive, the process is a bit more difficult. The OS X Installer can perform both an upgrade install (the default) and a clean install on a non-startup drive. It might work but depends on your interest in spending the time trying to get it to work.Screen shot courtesy of Coyote Moon, Inc. There are applications that will let you convert from physical (hard drive) to virtual (VM hard drive file) but I have no experience with that. A bit of searching should pull up relevant links.

Such is called a Hackintosh and setting up the O/S to do so is a bit of a black art.

And it is likely that you have to install the O/S within the VM for it to work there.Īlso you need special bootloaders and the like to run the Mac O/S on PC hardware. However using an installation of Mac O/S on a physical hard drive, I kind of doubt it as PCs have no native way of reading or writing to HFS+ formatted disks. However it should (YMMV) be possible to take a VM created in Virtualbox on a Mac and copy the files to a PC and run them in Virtualbox on a PC. That said this has been virtualized on Mac O/S, not in Windows like you want. I, myself, have done this using Virtualbox and an older version of the O/S so I can run some older applications. Generally speaking it is possible to virtualize the Mac O/S. First, understand that the Mac O/S is licensed only for use on Apple hardware, and as such doing what you want to do is not exactly legal.
