Hackintosh Installation on GA-P55A-UD3

I have a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 mobo and a core I5-750 processor. I did not overclock this. I went to this website.

http://www.infoomatic.com/guide-install-ma...ow-leopard.html. Unfortunately I was not successful in installing the mac os on my pc. Just to let you know. I don't have a retail copy of mac osx. I downloaded a copy from demonoid.com. Tony mac informed me that I should get a retail version. So I bought one from ebay and it would arrive early next week.

 

I have several questions before I proceed again with the installation

 

1. On the bios setup. I should select cd rom as the first boot option. In the integrated peripherals menu I should

set PCH SAtA control mode and ESATA control mode to AHCI instead of IDE. Under power management I should select put HPET mode into 64bit. These are the correct settings right?

 

2. I don't know which loader should I use. Should I use Iatkos 7, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] ATI, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Supported (Vanilla install), Empire EFI. Which among the four is easy to use?

 

3. I have a 1.5 TB Seagate Hard drive. When I get to the part that I have to partition my hard drive. Can I just make two partitions one for MAC OSX and the other partition would be just an empty space? Do I need to install win7 on the second partition. Do I really need to partition? I prefer using only one hard drive.

 

4. MAC OSX 10.6.3 comes with imovie and iphoto right?

 

Thanks. I'll be waiting for your replies.

I have a similar board, the UP4A and been trying to install Snow Leopard on it. So far I could only get to the 'Select language' screen. My mouse and keyboard won't work. So I couldn't do much.

 

Anyone have any idea?

 

Thanks in advance.
