Hi everyone my name is ultimateon, and i'm here to seek some advice (Hold on to your eyeballs i'm gonna rant hard!).

So after a FEW 10-11 tries(?) i have googled far and wide and failed miserably at trying to install OSX snow leopard on my pc, don't know if it was either the hardware that was incompatible or if its my lack of experience at mac and mac related software, but anyways , the closest i got to getting mac installed was with an iaktos ml2 usb drive and after instaling said drive it got stuck on the apple loading logo (forgive my ineptitude i still have this instaled if somone is willing to help me troubleshoot this).
And after many hard and boring trys and endless hours of rage and googling this and that i decided to post on the varius forums.

TL;DR i failed miserably and need help

My build

 

Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (uefi bios updated, not sure if latest)

Intel i5 2500 3.30 ghz (not unlocked version)

Powercolor Radeon 6870

RipjawsZ F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL

Samsung HM321HI 320 GB hard drive

 

Currently i only have a VBox with a snow leopard image running, i can't use to burn dvd's because it crashes so i can only instal via usb i have 2  16 gb generic Usb's (one is totaly generic and the second is from grixx).
Also i still have the iatkos ml2 image instaled in the hardrive stuck at the loader anyone who wishes to help me... just say so.

Follow my retail install guide here:

 

http://rampagedev.wordpress.com/os-x-10-8-mountain-lion

 

Boot with:

 

-v GraphicsEnabler=Yes

 

Post install you only need FakeSMC and NullCPU for basic functionality which you can work off of for the rest. 

Ill try this in a couple of hours will post after the test.

Also i can't use the myhack method , the pen drives fail to booth every damm time.

Hello

 

Yes, we give support for Myhack, but we don't give support for tonymac's tools, check my signature to know why.

 

Follow the guide created by Rampage Dev.

 

Other thing, NullCPUPM is good, but isn't best choice... like Rampage Dev said it's "for basic functionality". So if you want get a full power management read in here to know how: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295587-power-management-for-sandy-and-ivy-bridger/
