Hello,

This is my first post on these forums, I am very sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, or am missing information. Please let me know if you need information to help my diagnose the problem. Thank you.

I successfully hackintoshed my Desktop computer around 2 months ago, and I am attempting to do it again on my Dell Inspiron laptop. I will put the specs at the end of this post.

I have successfully created the UniBeast installer, however when I plug it into my laptop it simply loads up the BootLoader (Thing with the tony mac logo), I click on "OS X Install Yosemite" (Name of my drive). I quickly get a white screen that contains a Apple logo and around 5 seconds after that my computer restarts.

I tried booting into SafeMode, PCIRootUID both 0 & 1, GraphicsEnabler(Yes/No), and Verbose boot. When I do verbose boot it does the boot sequence no errors or anything, and then a quick one line message appears and the computer restarts. It happens so fast that I am not able to read the message.

I'm not sure if UniBeast logs this data to the USB stick, and if so how can I access it?

My Laptop specifications are: Amazon Link

Thanks ahead of time for anyone that can help me! :)

Thank you so much, I'm sorry about that. I will refer to that section for any more laptop related issues.

I think I tried that last night, but ended up giving up because my laptop wasn't recognizing it was bootable.

I will try again, following that guide and see if I have any better luck!

Just a guess: You had incorrect BIOS settings, or made a mistake in creating the USB.

Make sure you fill out your profile/signature to include the details on your laptop.

I have filled out my profile with the correct details for my laptop, and I am in the process of following that tutorial for making the Clover USB. I have gotten stuck at the configp.list

I believe this: config is the correct config, would that be correct, based apon the details on my profile?
 
I created the clover installer! Worked great, installed Mac OS X Yosemite on my PC. However at the end of the Yosemite installation, it wanted me to reboot. So I did I powered off my PC, and tried to boot into the USB again, but it is no longer showing as a boot option, and instead "Mac OS X" the target installation directory on the laptop shows instead.

What did I do wrong here? Its on the laptop, I just don't have any way of getting to it :p

I'm not sure what the issue is (can't understand your description of it).

Make sure you follow the instructions in post #2 of the guide.
 
I followed the Guide you gave me, and the first comment under that was about "Using the OS X Installer".

I followed that down to #4, where I am stuck because my laptop isn't discovering the USB anymore after I installed OS X to my laptop. OS X during the installation wanted to restart the computer which I allowed, but because I just installed it, it doesn't have the clover boot loader. That is why I was trying to boot from the USB stick again to get into my installation.

But my Computer no longer recognizes my USB stick in the UEFI boot menu, it does in the Legacy boot menu but fails to boot, (unbootable).

My problem is I can no longer use my USB stick that I created in part 1 of your guide.
