Foxic Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Easiest way: Create a backup with CCC Update to the latest chameleon. Create the USB installer. Install over the top of your old Lion partition. Use the same kexts (possibly use new versions if necessary), dsdt, smbios.plist and org.chameleon.boot.plist as you used for Lion.

Foxic Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 You need access to an installation os OS X in order to prepare the install media. If you do not have access to a hack/mac start with the OS X 86 Mod CD/USB and a Snow Leopard 10.6.3 retail disk Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281847-can-i-run-mountain-lion-108-on-msi-z77-gd65a/#findComment-1844373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hslover Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Can be a Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (Final Retail)? And mod cd...could be the latest Nawcom mod ?

Foxic Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 You will need a mac/hack to do this. Your best option is to use the OS X 86 Mod CD/USB and a Snow Leopard 10.6.3 retail disk if you have no access to a mac.
