My first Hackintosh... some questions ;)

[iJanni]

Hey,
I want to build my first Hackintosh soon (Sandy Bridge CustoMac Build #4) and before i´ll do that, i have some question.

1. I want to have 3 HDD´s in my PC and 1 SSD. On the SSd i want to install Mac OS X Lion, Windows and Linux. And every OS could read the HDD´s. How do i make that working?

2. I have OS X Lion on an USB Stick. Do I have to install SL first upgrade to 10.6.8 and the install Lion or is there a way to install Lion directly without SL?

3. I searched for a internal wifi card and found this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/APPLE-AirPort-E ... 184wt_1180
I read that it works. But is that a original one? ^^

Thanks for your help

Yes as long as those HDD are DATA drives format in NTFS...OSX read NTFS and I assume Linux also read NTFS. (there are tools you can install to have FULL READ/WRITE)

2. I have OS X Lion on an USB Stick. Do I have to install SL first upgrade to 10.6.8 and the install Lion or is there a way to install Lion directly without SL?

You still need the base Snow Leopard to put the installer on USB. So it is still a requirement.

Search the forum to ensure you have the correct component.

What tools for example? Or just install Windows on SSD and format the other HDD´s with NTFS?

Okay, so i have to install SL first.

I searched for that here in the foum and it says that the wifi card works. But i wanted to know if the card on ebay is an original or just a fake

Thanks for your answers.
