I've made a hackintosh before with a netbook years ago, but I'm trying to get this new Toshiba ultrabook to run OSX. Which version would actually run on it? I've tried booting from the 10.8 disc, but it freezes on the apple logo screen and does nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated so I can get rid of Windows 8.1! :)

What is the full specs  and what is your Installer ?  :)

 

Your CPU is this one  Intel® Cor i5-4200U ?  if yes ; 

its Haswell cpu, you need 10.8.5 or later  OS X 10.9 for this cpu .

I was using the Niresh 10.8 installer, but as you stated, I need a newer version. Which would you recommend since I've slipped back to the level of a noob?

Is there any particular advantage of installing using the real OS X versus Niresh? Also, will installing Mac OS X on a x86 use resources better, or is it just for kicks?
