Hi to all!
I have been using a netbook that I duelbooted myself with OSX and Windows.
I have found myself using the OSX side mostly and have fallen in love with this OS and now want to take the Hackintosh to a new level and do the same to my desktop pc.
I have looked around various related websites but haven’t found exactly the information I need.
The PC spec I have is as follows:-
Gigabyte GA-Z77MX-D3H, Socket-1155
Intel Core i5-2380P
Radeon 6850 1GB
8GB of Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz
2 Seagate Momentus XT hybrid ssd hard drives.
My intention is to run Windows 7 64 on one hard drive and Mac OSX Lion on the other.
I would much prefer to use USB pens for both installations.
I also would like a menu on boot so that I can select which OS to load but have it load an OS if I don’t select anything.
I under stand I can use Chimera app to do this.
My questions are as follows :-
With the components I have is Lion a good choice as an install?
Ive seen that some install a lower version of OSX and upgrade other ways.
How is best to get OSX onto a USB Pen with Chimera?
I also found a DSDT file for the motherboard for Mac OSX this also needs to go on the USB pen…where do I put it?
I got this here:- http://www.osx86.net/view/2713-dsdt_ga-z77mx-d3h.html
Thanks for taking the time to read this and my thanks in advance for any help and advice given ?
