mac09hack Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Look for digital_dreamer here on Insanelymac. He has a really interesting scripted installer HACKINSTALLER. I have been using it to load a 16GB USB with Mavericks and his way of loading both a USB and a disk drive. I was able to load a 16GB USB and install Mavericks onto a 500 GB SATA disk on my Snow Leopard hackintosh. I was not quite successful because of my 5 year old video card. Yours is ideal for running Mavericks, so I would recommend you try Hackinstaller to make yourself successful. SSD disks have their issues but digital_dreamer has dealt with those also. My problems will be resolved when I can afford to get a really"hot" GPU card. (assuming you have a Mac or a HAck running at least 10.6.8) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298791-help-for-mavericks-setup-boot/#findComment-2029476 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunLizard Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Check Genius Bar (Tutorials Section) for AIO guide. For guys n gals just starting out, it walks you through two great methods of installing -- from Chameleon and Clover.

mac09hack Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I tried to view your video but I never got to a viewable place. Now tell me what happened when you used Hackinstaller!? I just recently loaded the app store version of Mavericks onto a 500 GB hard drive. I used Hackinstaller and it installed by using Chameleon 2.2 boot loader. Once I got Mavericks loaded I replaced Chamelelon with Clover but I am missing multiple video resolutions and sound, I have a 5 year old GeForce 9800GTX+ video card which won't work with MacOS 10.8 or 10.9, so I am stuck with Snow Leopard until I can afford another video card. Your hardware should work very well for Mavericks.
