Manticore Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hello there After some struggle I've successfully installed Yosemite Zone on my PC, along with Windows and Linux, using a multiboot. The purpose of this thread is to understand the general method of installation, as it's not completely clear to me. I'll give you my version of this, please feel free to correct me or add information. 0) Prepare BIOS/UEFI & hardware for installation. The first thing is to configure the BIOS/UEFI and to check that the correct hardware is available (such as: compatible motherboard, free RAM slots, etc.). 1) Download OS X file.There are three types: ISO, DMG or APP. (The difference between them is not clear to me.) 2) Format & Burn OS X file. Format the UBS, a tool may be included on the USB burn tool (e.g. TransMac), and then burn: (The needed file system and boot sector are not clear to me.) Under Windows: + ISO: Via Unetbootin (or similar). + DMG: Via TransMac (or similar). + APP: N/A? Under OS X: + ISO: Via dd (or similar). + DMG: Via Disk Utility (or similar). + APP: ##### (or similar). 3) Boot USB with proper flags. Use the USB to boot PC with flags that avoid panic screens or other errors (such as: PCIRootUID=1, -no-zp, etc.). 4) Format destination disk and select it for installation. Use Disk Utility (available in the installer) to prepare the destination disk, so then it can be selected for installation. 5) Continue with the installation wizard. Set the preferred configuration and confirm installation. 6) Use #####. Use ##### to install kext files and set other post-installation options (such as: Chimera bootloader). My main concern is about the step number 2. Can anyone enlighten me on this item?Thanks in advanced! EDIT: It seems that some applications are not admitted in InsanelyMac, so any alternative is welcomed.

mac09hack Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I would say that using a relatively new mackintosh web site would be of great value to you. Go to www.rampagedev.com and follow the instructions that are provided. You haven't mentioned your hardware (motherboard, CPU, video card, etc) This can make a lot of difference when trying to install MacOS X of any version.
