nicksoph Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hi Having mentioned hackintosh to a friend he has asked me to see if I can build him one, (which I havnt quite said yes to) it is not something I have done before, having worked only with Windows and Linux. I have access to a Mac and happy to buy whatever software is required but may be limited to the PC that my friend has just bought - 8GB Ram, Intel 2500K processor in an ASRock H61M-VS Motherboard, which has the Intel H61 Chipset, Intel 2000/3000 on board graphics, VIA VT1705 audio, Atheros PCIEx1 Ethernet and 32Mb AMI UEFI Legal BIOS. It looks like there are KEXTS available for the graphics/audio/network (Ive yet to see a KEXT but I think Ive read enough to be able to install them) - Im less sure what having a UEFI bios will mean to the build) I have been reading on the this and other sites and found myself pretty confused by the number of methods available and wonder if someone might give me some advice on which methods would be best to build a Lion based machine from bare metal for somebody with relatively little mac exposure, Im happy to do the reading but would like some direction on the path to use. Thanks NickSoph Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277510-lion-where-to-start/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Donker Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 It will work, just use myHack 2.0 from there website. Can only be installed from Mac. Install it on a USB. Use the tutorial on myhack's website. Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277510-lion-where-to-start/#findComment-1810874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
