It was easier, then upgrade window 8.1 preview to windows 8.1! I just burn the pendrive, boot and install over my mac 10.8.5 disk!

has anyone tried installing mavericks on their dell xps 8300?

Yes, I have, and it was a success. I followed tonymacx86 Unibeast guide for Mavericks and all appears good. Even sleep still works for me.

Thats great, what drivers did you pick on the new multibeast? I'm a bit confused with this new version.

These are the settings I used for my system, which was an upgrade from 10.8.5

Thanks it does help alot, I will be testing those drivers with my system.
Did you do a clean install of mavericks?
If you didn't, how would you be able to update to mavericks?
I have my hackintosh running on 10.8.4, but i'm having issues upgrading to mavericks.

What problems are you having?

I upgraded to Mavericks, using the tonymacx86 Unibeast 3.0 guide. One skips the sections referring to formatting the disk and go straight to the install, which will upgrade any older OS X version and preserve your data. The system will reboot after the install completes, but you need to boot from the USB pendrive, but instead hit space and then select your OS X disk. Remember to add any flags such as "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" if required.
Then as directed in the guide, run Multibeast, select the drivers and settings you need and then select build and Multibeast will do its bit. You should then be able to re-boot into Mavericks from your internal disk.

I get this message once I've installed mavericks on my system, I booted it from a flash drive and put GraphicsEnabler=Yes and then i got this message.

Did you install Mavericks with UniBeast 3 and MultiBeast 6?

 

[secretefate]

yes i did set up my flash drive with unibeast 3, i have yet to get it to load so i couldn't run multibeast to install the drivers yet.
