Stu Parker Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I took it upon myself to try and make a Hackintosh from my old i3 Gateway laptop. I have downloaded iATKOS_S3_version2 from the usual sources and tried to boot the DVD on the laptop. It flashes the mac spash screen for about a second then goes into a boot loop. I am assuming at this point I did something wrong and and not sure what. Any assistance would be grand...

0000-1248 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I have an i3 Laptop too. it has an i3-350M. If you have the same Generation of processor (i3-3xxM) I can help you, so please post your CPU model. Also post your graphics and other specs please. If your specs are like mine I can help you get Mavericks or.. *sigh* Yosemite working. -Matt Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306832-noob-question-here/#findComment-2148564 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 1 - If you have problems during the boot, use -v boot-argument. And if stops in some line, take a photo and post here. 2 - For this kind of Intel HD, read this (read please) : [GUIDE] 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics QE/CI Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306832-noob-question-here/#findComment-2148849 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to get it so I can turn my laptop into a Hackintosh. I can download the installer for Yosemite however I am not sure how to create a USB boot device. 0000-1248 said he could get me going so I am hoping he can.

JahStories Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 there is no need to search any specific help, just try to make a bootable usb stick with your Virtual Machine using a guide... then if you have problems booting up just use -v (verbose) and post a screen! GLuck! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306832-noob-question-here/#findComment-2148880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
