DislikeYou Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Lol, you dont need Ubuntu or Gparted. Just use Disk Utility in OSX Installer. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/265604-how-can-i-install-lion/#findComment-1735188 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Mac Help Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 I think it is possible to do this (correct me if i'm wrong): First, I will install 10.6.2 Hazard (because only that works and I can't update or I'll get a KP). Second, I will follow these steps: http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/07/xmo...x-107-lion.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/265604-how-can-i-install-lion/#findComment-1735353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppa206 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Do you have a valid DSDT file? Without it, you're toast. Go HERE and ask him to help you. Then and only then can you do a decent install of Lion.

Then and only then can you do a decent install of Lion. Actually for me my hackintosh works without DSDT, When I started the installation it told me I needed to have a GUID Partition Table. I have it dual booted so can I install it without deleting windows? And the option button doesn't work for me in hackintosh.
