[success]Need lots of help [ga-z77x-ud5h, i5 3570k, and ML 10.8.3]
Hi everybody,
this is my fist time building a hackintosh as well as my first post.
I have a self built system which is made up of a ga-z77x-ud5h mb, an i5 3570k CPU, and a 1.5 tb hard drive. I am also only using the integrated hd4000 graphics.
For now this is what I have and will be upgrading to a SSD and dedicated graphics card in the future. I am trying to install mountain lion 10.8.3 and I'm having some issues.
I didn't have any problems creating my unibeast disc. That was fine.
I did some minor bios settings changes and booted from the USB.
I was able to boot from the USB stick and install ML. I then rebooted from the USB and tried loading from the hard drive only to be greeted by the apple logo and lots of waiting. If I reboot I can get into osx if I use the boot flag -x. There I can download and run multibeast but I'm still not able to access osx without the USB and in safe mode. If I try all I get is a boot 0 at a black screen. So I plug the USB back in and boot in safe mode.
any way long story short after reboot after reboot and a few redos with the bios settings I'm still not able to boot without a USB and only in safemode.
What should my bios settings be as we'll as multi beast settings?
Thank you all.
Edit: I get the boot0 error because my hard drive is a 4k drive. Trying to fix it. If any one has tips on how to do this it would be very much appreciated.
Edit: Did the boot0 error fix and now everything is working 100%. all fixes from posts on this site. Thanks everybody.
