Complete newbie looking for help with first time installation

[johnnyboy]

Hi

Like the title says, I am a complete newbie at hackintosh - which is why I bought the HP probook - and I would need some quick help as to which installation I should follow; there are many different installers and guides and I am not sure which one would be best.

I am pretty sure my system should be compatible but just to make sure I have attached a text file of my msinfo32 (see the small inline attachment below) and screen captures of my hardware specs for you to have a look at (mind you that its in swedish, but I am sure it will not be a problem for you to understand).

Apart from that I only require the Mountain Lion OS and the 8 GB flash USB, which I will hopefully recieve tomorrow or the day after.

Thank you!View attachment msinfo32.txt

It should be compatible and very easy to install. Good machine for hackintoshing right there, for sure.

Thats great, then my only question before attempting to install is which installer I should use; it seems there is no official one yet but there are a number of unofficial ones. I see people have installed ML with varying degree of success.

Which of these do you suggest I try (I do not know what the difference is between them):

-http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-proboo...ial-probook-installer-v5b2-video-how-use.html
-http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook/63348-hp-probook-installer-4-1b1.html
-http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook/62787-install-mountain-lion-hp-4530s-video-tut.html

Depending on my experience with hackintoshing I might try to learn more about it later. Right now I am just hoping for an easy installation to see how it runs on a PC.

Easiest and, from what I can tell, most tested is the tegezee's ProBook Installer (second on your list). I may be biased as I have contributed the the one before and this one, and have used it extensively during testing, but...
