altomic Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 so, I have had real macs for the last 9 years. my imac G5 ppc power supply died so I hacked a pc psu and got it back to life but it wasn't powering the internal screen so external it was. then the GPU started stuttering so I reballed it. (hot air gun) it's not stable (GPU overheating issues once a week) so durring hard rubbish collection I found a dell dimension 3100 which was not booting to post but when I changed the MB battery I had success. succefully loaded ideneb 10.5.6 -no internal audio but usb audio works great though. anyway my 2tb imac hdd is obviously GUID. whereas my hackintosh hdd is MBR. question - if I add the GUID drive to the hackintosh as a 2nd drive then will there be problems? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281548-adding-a-guid-hdd-when-hackintosh-has-a-mbr-hdd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinron_1 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 The only way it could cause a problem is if your Dell BIOS doesn't support GUID HDD's. Simple way to find out: plug it in the dell, if you can still boot idenb your good to go; if it hangs at POST you need to reformat it to MBR. As far as the OS is concerned theres no difference worth noting Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281548-adding-a-guid-hdd-when-hackintosh-has-a-mbr-hdd/#findComment-1841607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
