altomic Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 so, I have had real macs for the last 9 years. my imac G5 ppc power supply died so I hacked a pc psu and got it back to life but it wasn't powering the internal screen so external it was. then the GPU started stuttering so I reballed it. (hot air gun) it's not stable (GPU overheating issues once a week) so durring hard rubbish collection I found a dell dimension 3100 which was not booting to post but when I changed the MB battery I had success. succefully loaded ideneb 10.5.6 -no internal audio but usb audio works great though. anyway my 2tb imac hdd is obviously GUID. whereas my hackintosh hdd is MBR. question - if I add the GUID drive to the hackintosh as a 2nd drive then will there be problems? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinron_1 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 The only way it could cause a problem is if your Dell BIOS doesn't support GUID HDD's. Simple way to find out: plug it in the dell, if you can still boot idenb your good to go; if it hangs at POST you need to reformat it to MBR. As far as the OS is concerned theres no difference worth noting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
