mac09hack Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Look for digital_dreamer here on Insanelymac. He has a really interesting scripted installer HACKINSTALLER. I have been using it to load a 16GB USB with Mavericks and his way of loading both a USB and a disk drive. I was able to load a 16GB USB and install Mavericks onto a 500 GB SATA disk on my Snow Leopard hackintosh. I was not quite successful because of my 5 year old video card. Yours is ideal for running Mavericks, so I would recommend you try Hackinstaller to make yourself successful. SSD disks have their issues but digital_dreamer has dealt with those also. My problems will be resolved when I can afford to get a really"hot" GPU card. (assuming you have a Mac or a HAck running at least 10.6.8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunLizard Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Check Genius Bar (Tutorials Section) for AIO guide. For guys n gals just starting out, it walks you through two great methods of installing -- from Chameleon and Clover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac09hack Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I tried to view your video but I never got to a viewable place. Now tell me what happened when you used Hackinstaller!? I just recently loaded the app store version of Mavericks onto a 500 GB hard drive. I used Hackinstaller and it installed by using Chameleon 2.2 boot loader. Once I got Mavericks loaded I replaced Chamelelon with Clover but I am missing multiple video resolutions and sound, I have a 5 year old GeForce 9800GTX+ video card which won't work with MacOS 10.8 or 10.9, so I am stuck with Snow Leopard until I can afford another video card. Your hardware should work very well for Mavericks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
