Hey guys,
I am trying to build my hackintosh using iAtkos s3 version 2 and just cannot seem to be able to do it succesfully. All the while I was following this guide- http://goo.gl/zg6pe and even after changing some setting in my bios the installation would get stuck. It would get stuck on the first screen with the apple logo along with the loading icon and never go ahead. This has happened every single time! My pc specs-

Earlier I had tried iAtkos L2 but there too I was having the same error.Please help!

is this before of after install. I installed iatkos l2 on HP 7700. I use the boot loader options because of bios (no ACHI) . took a couple times to select the proper boot items needed. Sata enable, PCI enabler and ect.
GUID is a must for duo core 2 and LION

Download and burn nawcom's mod cd to disc. Boot from it. Once its loaded eject the disc and swap it with your iAtkos disc and press F5. When the disc appears on screen type -v cpus=1 and press enter

k thanks will do it and tell you what happens

[bitron]

ok the installation has started but my ps2 mouse is not working and my partition formats are not supported by osx?

[bitron]

also the screen is weird,not fitting properly as if some portion is going out of the monitor

[IiTz ShAnE]

Use a USB mouse just now. The screen doesn't matter as its just the setup. You need to format a drive to Mac journeled to install

[IiTz ShAnE]

In the OS X installer open Disk Utility and format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
gparted is a disk utility for Linux
