NVIDIA GeForce GT550M

 

 

 

 

What do you need:

 

Basically it is better to already have a working version of MacOS installed on your HackinTosh. It is always possible to achieve all steps of this GUIDE with an external MacOS system, but it will be more difficult. Also, I recommend you to have the following stuffs:

 

A working install of OS X (this may be in a virtual machine or a native install) to prepare the installer

1 x USB/SD card of 8GB minimum.

1 x Original Mountain Lion Install DVD (InstallESD.dmg, md5 checksum = 8b4869920cd740414fe6b7e3f0b1be3e).

8GB of available space minimum to install Mountain Lion.

1 x Human Brain.

30 minutes up to 3 hours spare time.

 

 

STEP 1 – Creating USB/SD Mountain Lion Installation Drive:

 

For this part, you need to force Finder to show all hidden files link

 

 

Right Click “Install OS X Mountain Lion” -> Show Package Contents.

Contents -> Shared Support -> InstallESD.dmg.

Open InstallESD.dmg (this will popup the “Mac OS X Install ESD” volume).

In ”Mac OS X Install ESD” volume open BaseSystem.dmg (this will popup the “Mac OS X Base System” volume).

Open the Disk Utility application.

 

Now we will create our USB/SD Mountain Lion installation DVD volume.

 

Partition your USB/SD device to match two partition, GUID Partition Scheme, both must be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

 

other steps , you can watch this video fully usb installations:
