bluedragon1971 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 OK, well I haven't done a hackintosh install for well over a year (since before Snow Leopard was released), and I just got a new computer, an HP Elite 477. It has an Intel i5 650 (dual core with HT), an H57 chipset (board is shown as an MSI 2A9C), 8GB of RAM, 1TB hard drive, and Radeon HD 5450. I'm wanting to do a dual boot setup with Windows 7 on one partition and OS X on the other (all on the same drive). Can anyone point me to the easiest guide for this setup? I'd prefer to keep the system as vanilla as possible. One of the main reasons that I haven't done a hackintosh in a while is because my previous system was an AMD, and Snow Leopard was simply too complicated to get running on it, at least with the other hardware I had in the system. I'm hoping for a little easier time with the new computer.

bluedragon1971 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Wow, 4 days and 57 views later an no one has any advice? I've searched the forum for this motherboard and only got one hit (another user with a similar model asking the same thing, again with no replies). This place used to be full of really helpful people, but I guess it has gone down hill in the past year or so.

Alessandro17 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 This place used to be full of really helpful people, but I guess it has gone down hill in the past year or so. It used also to be full of people like bofors or myself who would go to any length in order to build a fully compatible hackintosh, very carefully choosing parts one by one. Personally I built 4 hackintoshes in 3 years. That was true love for this project.

bluedragon1971 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 @bluedragon1971 the forum has all you need Use the search Did you read my post? I did search for this particular motherboard, and the only other hit I got was someone else who asked the same question and got ignored, just as I did. What is wrong with the link that Krishna posted? It seems pretty straightforward, and your reply to him didn't make a lot of sense to me (did you use an online translator from Portugese to English?). @ those above who actually provided useful links, thank you! Glad to see that this forum hasn't completely gone downhill.

gyozadude Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hi Bluedragon: I can sympathize with the "complicated" bit. In the last 3 weeks I've built 3 systems being an OSX newbie, reinstalled about 4 times on each, and sort of reinvented the wheel about as many times. I might start and suggest like others, to take tonymacx86.com's [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]/[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] approach, but having figured out on my own last night how to blow [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] away and replace with stock Chameleon 2 RC5, plus an older /boot and a DSDT.aml, then suddenly I stop getting kernel deadlocks with sleepenabler.kext and HD audio errors disappear with VoodooHDA, I will say that [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] isn't exactly the type of bootloader/EFI-BIOS property injection mechanism that covers many bases. (And I did that without killing my install!!!) Yes, OSX on non-apple HW has problems. But a number of approaches may for you and the only way to tell is to dive head-first and give it a try and maybe report back? I've learned a lot about what the boot is actually trying to do in the last weeks, and that struggle has been very enlightening, even if I've had to lose sleep over it! Good luck!
