MegaPantsLord Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Right, so, Hi guys, apologies if this subject/topic has been posted elsewhere in this forum, I had a look and couldn't find anything and am getting quite frustrated. So a while ago, I came across the subject of Hackintosh, and since I have been craving Mac for ages now (but have zero money to buy a mac) I jumped in enthusiastically. Here's the software I used: - [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Legacy (burned to CD), - Torrented iATKOS (burned to DVD RW) of OS X 10.6.7 Snow Leopard, - Windows 7 (where I did everything beforehand). After burning both programs to their respective discs I restarted my computer into BIOS and changed all IDE to ACHI, and my power to S3. I also changed my boot order to CD-Rom then HDD. After another restart I booted into [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], replaced the disc with the iATKOS Snow Leopard disc and ran the OS X Setup. All was good, and after getting to thesetup screen I selected English, partitioned my 2TB drive into three partitions (666 GB each) and installed OS X onto one of them. I then walked away while it was installing, after turning the monitor off. I came back fifteen minutes later and the screen was black, apart from a green chameleon at the top of the screen. Assuming it had restarted and failed, I restarted back into [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and launched the new Snow Leopard entry (as tonymacx86's tutorial said there would be). It came up with a gray screen and black apple logo with the spinning wheel beneath it, as there should be. A minute and a half into this the screen flickered black, and the computer restarted. I booted back into OS X and it did the same thing, except instead of restarting it threw up a kernel panic error. I can't get past this screen,and I can still access Windows, which is what I'm typing this on. Is there something I'm missing? HELP PLEASE. My setup is: - Gigabyte P55-UD3R mobo - 8 GB RAM (4 corsair somethingarather, 4 corsair vengeance; two different types) - 1GB Nvidia GeForce 460 SE - Intel Core i5 760 @ 2.80Ghz - Fatal1ty 750 watt PSU - DVD Drive - 2TB Hard Drive - 64GB SSD (Win 7 Pro install disc) I apologise if this is a noob question, and would really appreciate all feedback. Thanks so much in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
