Supertod Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm looking to install the official Mavericks GM build (from dev center). Currently I'm running Windows 8 from my SSD with my documents/media on an external HD. Is it possible to partition the SSD (without wiping Windows) and install Mavericks straight to that? I gather that once the SSD is set up correctly, I need to use the myHack tool and it should be fairly simple from there right? I have access to another intel-based mac to set up myHack on my USB stick. If there's a guide you recommend feel free to post it - the more help the better Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BALDY_MAN Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 just get a secondhand sata hard drive and experiment on that than once your up and running get another sad if you wish (just my thoughts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaDem Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 @BADLY_MAN I agree with, and it's much easier to install OS X on hard disk with GUID Partition, where windows only installs on a MBR hard disks. I have similar build, with the difference of the motherboard, z87mx-d3h, i7 4770k, and GTX 780. I disabled the internal graphics. Installation method, myHack beta 8, i created the USB installer, Mavericks GM. When I boot into the USB, I get stuck at a gray screen. Not sure what to do next. As far as I know, all of the hardware are supported out of the box with installing mountain lion 10.8.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kynyo Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 To bypass gray screen use GraphicsEnabler=No on org.chameleon.boot.plist. I suggest to go with Clover EFI, it's much better, faster, EFI capable; Chameleon it's just legacy bootloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaDem Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 It worked, and the installation went smooth, thanks! After the I booted into Mavericks, i installed the drivers with Mult1beast, installed Audi alc892 and network Intel. For now everything working as expected. ---- I found this guide about dual booting, it's a bit old, but hope it helps http://myhack.sojugarden.com/2009/12/dual-booting-demystified/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
