Hi All.

I made the decision to make a hackintosh after I learned part of my MacBook hardware could not be fixed. Since I was using Snow Leopard on my MacBook, I purchased the OS disc and got most of the hardware based off the suggested list.

I cannot get OS to boot from the hard drive using MultiBeast. It can't find the boot partition. I've got a 3 TB hard drive-its partitioned like 1 TB for the OS and 2 TB for storage. I think the hard drive might be too large.

Can anybody give advise on how to boot from a 3 TB hard drive?

Thanks.

Your problems are that the kernel for SL has no support for the 8 series mainboards and the boot drive has to be smaller than 1TB (not sure if the 1TB limit is there for Clover on UEFI).

Socket 775, P55, X58 series boards are last hardware to be supported in OS X 10.6.x.

For your hardware you are stuck with El Capitan. You can follow the guide - http://www.tonymacx86.com/snow-leop...os-x-10-6-snow-leopard-haswell-based-pcs.html to install SL, update it to get the App Store and download El Cap, then follow http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...-el-capitan-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html to install El Capitan.
 
Thanks for your help. I gotta break down and get the upgrade-sigh. I'm just accustomed to Snow Leopard OS and I'm not too fond of change.

Thanks for the help.
