I've run into a bump with my hackintosh laptop, and i had to install another Mountain Lion system on an back-up 40GBs partition. So i left my first original partition (let's call it Macintosh HD), and made a new one (Macintosh HD2). Now when booting into Macintosh HD2 i deleted Macintosh HD, but i can't seem to reallocate the space to Macintosh HD2 because the free space is not below the Macintosh HD2, but on top of it. So how the hell do i merge them??? Please help?

Okay. I am finally, finally glad to successfully install Mountain Lion on my laptop. This is the first time i get this kind of responce from the OS. I previously written an guide for the same laptop but different distro (click here, Niresh12495 - but i do not reccommend it.) So after this i've got some hope, because that was the first time getting native resolution on my graphics card (Mobility 4650HD with 1GB RAM, downclocked and rebranded into 550v). But i tried, and tried and nothing helped. The problem was that {censored} distribution, it couldn't update successfully, so it showed that my OS X is 10.8.2, but i wasn't able to run all the Apple software (iTunes, appStore...) after the update! When i installed the kext for my ATI i got the resolution, but no hardware support at all! It was choppy, oh boy.

So i got back to Windows 7 dissapointed, and waiting to get my new computer (i've installed Hackintosh previously on a computer, I am a proud owner of one of the most-compatible hackintosh motherboards, the P5KPL-AM SE) or someone to make a driver. Previously i have always installed iAtkos, but this time when i tried the Niresh distro, the Mountain Lion version of iAtkos wasn't out. So i waited and few days ago i needed to do some music, and i was tired of my hard disk speed in Windows. I defragmented that {censored}, i formatted it but nothing works. My whole operating system was falling appart. So one day I got to my uncle to see why his laptop wasn't booting up (the RAM wasn't set up properly if you're curious) and he just gave me an 8GB Sony USB. I first refused, because i seriously don't need USBs, i eventually loose them, or not even use them at all. But at one point i remembered that i can install an OS to an USB, and my first thought was OS X, of course. BTW i installed Chrome OS on the usb at first, but it failed with a Kernel Panic, lol. What a story teller I am. But these are 3 years trying to get hackintosh working, and now i am writing this on my laptop! Oh boy. I had many many problems with 'burning' the OS X iAtkos image onto the USB drive. My whole day was free so i descided i'll keep on doing it untill i come up with a solution. So firstly i tried on Windows burning it with PowerISO (a great tool btw), but it didn't boot. This was probaby because i needed to install Chameleon bootloader into the usb, and the only way to do that is by the Disk Utility in OS X. So i downloaded Virtualbox, because it's free, and i didn't have time for cracking right now. I installed iAtkos and i always got Resource busy errors when trying to "restore" my image onto the usb. So i thought this was probably because the USB is connected by software (its connected to a Windows machine and simulated trough Virtualbox onto OS X). So i formated my hard disk and went for iAtkos L (Lion) so i can get a raw Mac OS installation on my laptop so i can restore the image onto the USB disk. Firstly it didn't want to restore, but there was a fix... you'll make it, you have to restore the mounted image onto the USB disk, or something like that. Doesn't matter. I than installed Chameleon on the USB with no problem. Restarted my laptop, and booted successfully from the USB! Wohoo! The installation process was very very very fast! It took 15 or less minutes to install it. I choose nothing specific from the drivers list, audio and network was auto-recognized by iAtkos drivers bundles, i only selected PS/2 and some other minor crap.

So it installed very fast. I even thought that there was an error and it wouldn't boot because of this. But everything went smooth. I installed
this driver for the graphics card: http://www.osx86.net...for_10._...html
and it worked! Previously with the Niresh distro i've got only full resolution, but now for the first time i have seen the transparency in the menubar. I was so excited, haha! Everything working out of the box btw. Camera, card reader, audio, wifi, ethernet, usb. What else... Oh yeah, the battery indicator, i can't get to work. Sometimes my usb mouse is bugging, my left click is constantly clicking but it is a glitch and it fixes itself after a short period of time.

If you need any help with Hackintosh, don't ask me. I am a total noob. But i wasn't asking all the time for drivers, i was looking for solutions. 3 years. I am posting this "boring" (probably) post showing you that there is hope for you and your little machine!

From non-functional Hackintosh laptop, i've got everything working. And the solution is always the same: patience and time.

Thanks!

p.s. busratio=22 makes things so much faster. Just sayin'

This will be a complete tutorial on how to install Mountain Lion on a Fujitsu AH530/GFX laptop (one that comes with ATI Mobility 550v - 4650HD with 1GB and Core i3).

Basically this will work on every Fujitsu AH530, because of the same components. I got the sound, video card (native resolution only for now), wifi and ethernet to work. The webcam and bluetooth works natively! For now, i haven't made the battery to work, but because mine lasts really short, i always have my laptop plugged in. If you want you can try some universal battery kexts and try them.

So the whole installation is a very simple process, and overall it would take around 1 to 2 hours, depending on the laptop power you have. I got it working from the first installation. We'll use Niresh12495 distribution, because it is easier, and just plain faster. Plus i didn't have a USB drive to make it bootable, at least not bigger than 1GB. I think every install will work very fine, but i needed a fast re-install of my creepy and slow Windows, and the Niresh12495 torrent was downloading so fast!

So we'll begin by examining your hardware on the laptop. The newer Fujitsu AH530/GFX come with NVIDIA graphics, but i am not familiar with those, so you would have to make the graphics card work on your own.
Start by downloading some image burning software like ImgBurn, or some equivalent. There are burning software for every operating systems, so that won't be a problem if you're running Windows, or Linux. In matter of fact you can run ImgBurn on Wine if you want to! Okay so after you do this, download Niresh12495 10.8 Distribution. Find it on Google, you can find it easy!
So after downloading it, burn it with the image burning software to your DVD. Than restart the laptop and press F12 while the Fujitsu logo shows. Select the CD, and wait for it to read it and press F8 when the Chameleon shows up. Than you must type pciroot=1 because otherwise the system will hang and you'll be stuck at the Apple spinning wheel of death, lol. So until the installation shows, you'll have to wait around 15 mins. Don't worry. It is slow, but it works. So after some time the mouse arrow will appear and you can start the installation.

Go to Utilities and choose Disk Utility. // Look a for tutorial how to do dual-boot with Windows, Linux or other OS and how to format and work with Disk Utility. This is just how to get the Fujitsu AH530/GFX to work.

After doing everything correct in Disk Utility there should be the drive(s) visible after clicking next on the installation.

So select the drive when you want to install the Mountain Lion, and click Customize.
Select PS/2 driver, or the trackpad and keyboard won't work, and you will have to do restarting and messing with kext files just for that! So don't miss this. Select the pciroot option so you won't have to type pciroot=1 any time. Also choose the Realtek RTL81XX driver so you can have LAN to install wi-fi, audio, and video afterwards. Than just click done, and install it.

After installation, the system will reboot. You'll have a clean Mac OS X installation, but no resolution, sound or wi-fi enabled. Not to worry, but don't just install the kexts right now!

You must have internet connection via LAN enabled, so you can download the 10.8.2 update. It's around 800MB. Update the system via App Store. For some reason the system will update, but after it does it will tell you that the update is not successful and when you reboot iTunes, AppStore and GameCenter aren't available Will try to fix this and post a solution. But the system will update to 10.8.2 with no problems. This is because the video kexts are made to work on 10.8.2! After you do update, download the ah530gfx.zip package (uploaded by me, below). There are all the modified drivers that work. Original links to the drivers:

Audio:

VoodooHDA 2.7.3

Video:
http://www.osx86.net...for_10._...html

Wi-Fi:
N/A

Kext Utility is included.
Unfortunately QE/CI doesn't work, but working on a solution on that! Still pretty workable and fast!
