kamilwaheed Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hey Guys, Around more than a year ago, I was insane about this MAC OS on PC thing and spent two months on learning how it all goes. Afterall, I managed to run 10.5.6 on my low-end Pentium 4 computer. All credits went to insanelymac and other hackintosh related forums where people helped me so much to be able to do all this. THANKS!!! (1) Now, after so much time, I am again thinking of giving it a try. But now with a much much faster computer. I have been totally cut off from all this "Hackintosh" thing, I have no idea about its progress over the year. I have a Core i5 750 @ 2.60 Ghz processor with Intel DP55WB Motherboard, and an ATI Radeon HD 4870 graphics. I am thinking of getting Snow Leopard (10.6.2) work on it. Can anybody guide me ?( no need to get into details; I am familiar with this; I promise I will learn quickly ) Thanks, Kamil Waheed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to boot in safe mode if your graphics are giving you problems @ first. Then you can get the proper kext's installed. www.kext.com is always helpful too.

I was too tired to search for it myself! One more thing, though. I see that the tutorial provided in tonymacosx86 forums, requires me to have a separate harddrive for mac installation and paritition it as GUID partition table. Isn't there anyway to follow that guide without having a separate harddrive. I only have a 100GB separate partition left where I can install mac osx and I cannot partition my drive with GUID partition table, however I can format it.

Hangten Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 "Here you could have used Chameleon's fdisk440 to write the newer boot0hfs to the MBR of the HDD. This way, you will only write to the first 440 bytes of the MBR, leaving the Windows code untouched. After that you can reboot your system and Chameleon will return to life and successfully boot either OS" Chameleon boot loader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
