So it's been two days now since my PC components arrived, I happily but them together and installed Windows 7. But now I want to add OSX to it so that I can dual boot, but for two days I've tried (very hard) but with no luck.

 

So maybe I thought one of my components isn't compatible, I searched but I haven't found anything.

 

Here's what I have:

  • AsRock P67 Pro3 SE
  • Intel i5 2500k
  • Asus HD 6950 DirectCU 2

Now I know that the processor is compatible since there are Macs out ther that use it, the motherboard I don't know, I've searched and haven't found anything. And for the graphics card, taranfx just released a driver right? But is it imperative for the installation?

I've tried every possible installation method (the ones on the OSX86 wiki page) but almost all of them don't even boot up, only one booted up (Kakewalk) but when I entered in verbose mode, after loading the kernel and the black screen appears (the one where it should show all the drivers loading up and configuring), it just stays black, which means it doesn't load anything.

Same thing when I put my BIOS in AHCI mode.

 

Here's what I have available on my HDD:

 

  • 2 Partitions: both NTFS, one with Windows installed on it and the other just empty waiting for OSX
  • Official Mac OS X Install DVD
  • A virtual machine running OSX Lion, so I do have access to an OSX installation (but a poor, slow one)
  • And a bunch of Mac image managing software for Windows (like TransMac, MacDrive, etc)

 

But I currently don't have a DVD drive so I just burn the images on USB sticks, does that change anything?

 

Can anybody help me? I'm kinda desperate here.

Thanks.

Kakewalk? What's that. I have no idea. I can't help you with much. Lack of information. Describing isn't enough. Good that you provided your system specifications however, can you try booting in "-v" so you can see whats going on?

 

Or do you mean that your screen doesn't even show anything? Please Clarify.

 

Burning the image? You mean restoring the image right? You should use MaLd0n's method of making a Lion USB Drive.
