Hi all, In an attempt to fix a working Hackintosh that no longer boots into a once-working partition, I'm reinstalling OS X on another partition. I've installed Snow Leopard on this with my old retail install DVD, following the tonymacx86 instructions here. I'm now following the instructions...

Hi all, I have a Hackintosh that's worked for several years now, albeit with occasional crashes. However just today it's stopped booting up successfully. Each time I boot I see the attached screen (this shows what I see when I enter '-v' on the boot screen; without doing this, I see a similar...

I had a working hackintosh build for a long time (though it *seemed* that two problems were slowly becoming more frequent: kernel panics, and failing to activate the screen after waking up from sleep, despite the CPU lights and fan switching on). However it's just stopped booting in either OS X...

Hi, My setup = GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 ; OS X 10.7.5; speakers plugged into green 3.5mm port on motherboard; had audio working on an earlier OS X install but lost it after a clean reinstall (using Multibeast and the GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 F12 DSDT from the tonymacx86 DSDT database. My symptoms = 'Sound'...

Darn. I had a working hackintosh and I went and broke it. Can anyone help? I had a working setup with a Windows 7 partition and an OS X 10.7 partition on my boot drive. However I wanted to reinstall Windows. So here's what I did (please say if I should have done something different): 1) I...

I've just installed Windows onto a new partition on the same SSD drive I had OS X worked on perfectly. I followed the instructions at Tony's blog post on multibooting off the same drive, except I had the OS X partition installed first. The Windows install went fine and I can boot into it...

Originally posted to SuperUser - no answers from the normally expert users there! I recently bought an SSD (a 64GB Crucial M4 - which I _believe_ has garbage collection, based on these specs) for my new computer. I've installed OS X 10.7.2 on it, and would like to reinstall this and also...

I'm just in the middle of buying components for my first computer build. I'm after an affordable, reliable midrange hackintosh, which runs relatively cool and silent without spending too much on fancy parts. I'm not a 'gamer', but would like to play some old, undemanding games - e.g. Civ 4...

Hi, After starting research early this year and starting to post on this site this spring, I've finally got to the stage at which I can and will buy my build (nudged along by my old iMac's screen degenerating ever faster :shock: ). I've picked out most of my components* besides the motherboard...

I'm about to buy components for a hackintosh based on Gordo74's build at http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=16323 . I just need to choose the video card (and the case, but I've provisionally chosen the Antec Sonata III as silence is very important to me, and I've found good decibel...
