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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292409-installing-mavericks-gm-on-new-build-i7-4770k-gigabyte-z87m-d3h-hd7970-with-windows-8-dual-boot/ 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292409-installing-mavericks-gm-on-new-build-i7-4770k-gigabyte-z87m-d3h-hd7970-with-windows-8-dual-boot/#findComment-1950778 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292409-installing-mavericks-gm-on-new-build-i7-4770k-gigabyte-z87m-d3h-hd7970-with-windows-8-dual-boot/#findComment-1952552 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.

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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292409-installing-mavericks-gm-on-new-build-i7-4770k-gigabyte-z87m-d3h-hd7970-with-windows-8-dual-boot/#findComment-1953215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
