Attempting Laptop Installation - Help Required ;-;

Hello,

 

I've been attempting for the past few days to install OS X Mountain Lion on my Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E530 with little success. So much so that I've finally decided I'm probably out of ideas and created this forum post requesting help.

 

My Laptop Specs are:

 

Intel Core i3-2328m (Sandy Bridge CPU at 2.2GHZ with support for SSE2 , SSE3 and SSSE3)

8GB RAM

500GB Hitachi Z7K500 HDD

Lenovo 627226G Motherboard (Intel HM77 Chipset)

Intel HD Graphics 3000

 

More Detailed Specs ---> https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-GXUa1I8xyDZU1SdklDSlhER2c

 

So far , I've attempted to install iAtkos ML2 and ML3U via USB and so far both have worked up until the first sighting of the apple logo then the laptop restarted. In both cases , I was using a separate USB with chameleon bootloader on but in the instance where I tried to use the onboard bootloader on ML3U , I hit enter and the screen simply remained black.

 

Any help would be much appreciated

 

Thank you for your time.

There should be plenty of tutorial on YouTube on how to create a vm of mac. That's what I first did with a distro of mac then proceeded down the rabbit hole of a vanilla install with clover.

Hey,

 

I've got the Virtual machine set up but I've noticed the USB tool that was linked under "-Create Usb Bootable" only allows for the creation of Yosemite and El Capitan installers. Is there a way I can make a Sierra installer?

Hey ,

 

I've followed those instructions and I can now boot into the USB , however when I attempt to load into the installer I get stuck on a black screen with a "-" in the top left corner followed by another black screen with "++++++++++++++++++++++++++" in the top left corner.

 

Any advice?
