Hi everybody! I am totally new to hackintosh. And I have a couple questions:My build is pretty much the same: prodigy case, gigabyte z77n-wifi mobo, i7 cpu, 16 gb vengence. The only thing I didnt get yet is video card and I believe thats why I cant get it to work. So my questions are:
1. Integrated video card is not enough to install/run hackintosh, is it?
2. Can I just swap my existing sata HDD with os x lion on it from my mac pro and use it instead of going through all the setup process (unibeast.....) or it wont work?
When i try to boot from my HDD or usb stick it goes to apple logo for a second and then back to boot/choose startup disk screen. I believe that it might be because of the low (not enough) graphics, right? Couple of times i managed somehow to boot from that HDD and it worked but the resolution was very low and I couldnt change it in system settings. But most of the time it just shows me apple logo for a sec and goes back to black screen/bios.
Any help is greatly appreciated, because my mobo on my mac pro just broke down and I need to fix my hackintosh ASAP since I dont have a working computer any more.
PS. In installation instructions it says that I am supposed to leave video card out anyway, so maybe it is not graphic problem??? I am confused... maybe I need to change something in bios to get it to load? after all I did manage to boot it after hours of changing different bios settings, but then I restarted it, and no boot again
Thanks everybody in advance.
