hj576 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I have an old Probook 4520s Lying around and decided to try and install MAC OS X on it. I have gone through a lot of links online and i am very confused about its compatibility The Specs are as following First Gen Intel I3 Proccessor (M 380) @2.53 GHZ 3 GB Ram AMD Radeon HD 6300M Series Broadcom 802.11n Network Adaptor Realtek PCIe GBE Famly Controller Now the biggest concern i had was regarding the graphic card. From what i could find out its not switchable graphic card because There is no option for Switchable Graphic Card in BIOS (My new Probook 450 has it) And in Ubuntu when i tried the command intel_reg_dumper it gave me "Couldent Find Graphic Card" So is it possible to install MAC OS X with a dedicated AMD Graphic card ? Which Version should i try ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most important its to make graphicsinjector =true + loadvbios=true + inject edid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so i did everything you mentioned here I created one Bootable Mevric USB and installed Clover on another USB then i booted using EFI into clover It shows me two options Boot Mac Os X from HDD (a previous failed attempt to install Mac OSx) and Boot Mac Osx Install Mevric OSx I know i have to select the second option. But when i do it just restarts clover . Installation does not start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
