sekndz Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hello, i'm new to hackintosh and have wanted to try osx a loooooong time.. but i'm having issues with making usb install. I don't own a CD-Drive so it's not possible to make dvd (would be easier i know..) I'm using http://www.niresh12495.com/2013/03/nireshs-os-x-1082.html , it includes program called EasyBSD as you guys may know, I've tried to make bootable USB with it but with no success. Also with some other Niresh's 10.8.2 came program called USBIT (USB Image Tool), but that ain't working either. I've been googling this for like week now and tried to search how to make it work but can't find anything what would work, i guess i'm searching from wrong places. If you need some more info / specs or anything else please tell me. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion bootable USB for Intel PCs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekndz Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Oh yes i am an idiot, i forgot to tell that i have AMD, so Intel guides are a no-go, sorry for not mentioning it! Edit: That Niresh's .iso is compatible with AMD so i just need to know how to get it boot from USB if someone didn't get the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Village_Idiot Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 if those same exact tools and programs included in the niresh distro is working for others, then:1. there might be a problem with your USB, try another one2. redownload the ISO and try again3. you are doing it wrongly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekndz Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) From your list i think i'm doing it somehow wrong because people have installed it successfully ( although Niresh has said in some point that EasyBSD isn't working and that USBIT i took from Intel-based Niresh USB Boot). I have downloaded ISO multiple times and with tried with other computer and have used 2 different USB sticks. Edit: http://imgur.com/HYraw3a ( Image from TransMac ) I made USB with SUSE Image Writer, and it seems the needed files are there? But it ain't booting it. Now it's possible to make boot usb in hackintosh, i installed one with VMWare if that helps somehow PROGRESS: Did install chameleon 2.2 to other USB stick and booted there without any problems but it just wont boot the other USB.. Any ideas?http://imgur.com/KfvMYK5 (Pic from loader) Edited September 8, 2013 by sekndz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 If you're using the hardware listed on your signature, you'll find Mountain Lion very frustrating: a bug in the kernel results in severe graphics artifacts and glitches on AMD machines. You'll have way better results with Lion 10.7.5. Ask help here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285760-help-topic-further-help-in-chatosx86hulegacykernel-irc/page-71?do=findComment&comment=1944224 All the best!

sekndz Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yea i've read about AMD glitches and was in that state of mind that my PC will run it without any bugs but good that you cleared that out! So i'll move on to Lion for sure! Thanks alot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 With Lion, the only known bug is QuickTime player, so you may want to use third party apps like MPlayerX or VLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekndz Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Thats good, i dont use QuickTime prefer VLC. I ordered CD-drive last week and its finally here hopefully installing gets easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
