gamelon8687 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Specs: Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI Intel Pentium G3258 Anniversary Edition EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti SC 8GB G.Skill Ares 2x4GB DDR3 RAM 1TB WD Hard Drive I restored the InstallESD.dmg from the Mountain Lion install disc to a 32GB Sandisk Cruzer Glide USB flash drive using Transmac (I have no access to a Mac) and I put Chameleon onto a 1GB flash drive. Once I boot my computer to Chameleon, the Mountain Lion installer USB isn't anywhere on the list. However, when I put the same two USBs into my netbook, an Acer Aspire One 722, the USB installer is in the list. I've tried different combinations of USB ports to no avail. I'm clueless as to why it shows up on my netbook and not my desktop. Is there any possible reason this is happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamelon8687 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Thank you for the swift reply Chris so to make sure I do this right, I just use the SUSE image writer to write the Mavericks raw image to my 32GB flash drive, and then use the 32GB drive to boot and disregard the Chameleon USB I made? And would I boot the drive in UEFI mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to formate your USB in FAT32 before using SUSE And see about your CPU with Clover http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303407-how-to-install-yosemite-mac-os-x-1010-on-a-pentium-g3258-or-other-unsupported-cpu/ Or maybe try this tools Is Updated Clover for your CPU http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283190-bdutilityexe-make-cloverchameleon-bootflash-with-macosx-distr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamelon8687 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 So I would add a fake CPUID to the config.plist in Clover? Can I do that from within Clover or do I need a plist editor for Windows? And would Clover already be on the 32GB flash drive after I restore the image to it, or do I need a separate flash drive for Clover? Edit: So for the second link you posted, I would use a different USB other than the one used for the Mavericks image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamelon8687 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 So use BootdiskUtility on my 32GB flash drive to install the Clover bootloader to one partition, then restore the OS X image to the second partition?

gamelon8687 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 I wrote the Mavericks raw image to my 32GB flash drive and booted into it.

You need to edit config.plist inject fake CPUID on EFI /CLOVER / config.plist Have look here and using tansmac to seeing HFs file http://superuser.com/questions/662823/how-do-i-mount-the-efi-partition-on-windows-8-1-so-that-it-is-readable-and-write Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamelon8687 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 I think I understand what you mean, so the problem most likely lies in the graphics card and my processor doesn't have compatible integrated graphics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
