bitron Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hey guys, I am trying to build my hackintosh using iAtkos s3 version 2 and just cannot seem to be able to do it succesfully. All the while I was following this guide- http://goo.gl/zg6pe and even after changing some setting in my bios the installation would get stuck. It would get stuck on the first screen with the apple logo along with the loading icon and never go ahead. This has happened every single time! My pc specs- http://imageupload.org/en/file/236783/capture.jpg.html http://imageupload.org/en/file/236784/capture2.jpg.html http://imageupload.org/en/file/236785/capture3.jpg.html http://imageupload.org/en/file/236786/capture4.jpg.html Earlier I had tried iAtkos L2 but there too I was having the same error.Please help!

redneck Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 is this before of after install. I installed iatkos l2 on HP 7700. I use the boot loader options because of bios (no ACHI) . took a couple times to select the proper boot items needed. Sata enable, PCI enabler and ect. GUID is a must for duo core 2 and LION Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281668-no-installation/#findComment-1842663 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerastez Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 how will i open disk utility without installation?I cant find that option. This is a video that shows the steps that you will need to take. The installation is a little different that what you will be doing, but the booting up, formatting the HD and basic installation are the same.
