I have spent more than 4 hours trying to built hackintosh on my PC computer and it seems I can't find a way to get rid of the following problem.
I have a --i7 /Nvidia/ GigaByte mainboard/3 Gb ram/ 2hard disks -- desktop pc and I want to boot my second HDisk with Mac, leaving the primary unchanged.
But while it seems I fill the criteria needed for doing the Hackintosh, everything goes great until I initialize the Mac os installer ( chimera from a USB flash) and I am asked to choose the disk to Install the MacOs.THERE IS NO OPTION IN THE BOX...IT IS EMPTY...HDisk LIKE IT DOESN'T EXIST.
What have I done so far:
1. Unplugged my primary HD for safety
2.made the Bios changes needed except setting to default options (I believe it is not needed)
3.SOS -- realized that the prob has something to do with the fact that windows are keeping a copy of the Recycle bin in the secondary HD, while not needed to.In that direction, tried everything to delete all system files from secondary disk (failed to do)/tried from cmd(failed to do)/and then unplugged the secondary ,plugged the primary and realized that the existence of that damn system file (recycle bin copy) is not important at all.
I can say many things that I have tried but ti will get boring.The main thing is : no option for a disk to install Mac os (p.s. tried the primary and it is recognized)
Also have to say that every two restarts I face a checksum error which says that it sets to defaults ????
Finally....Super sorry for the long post.
Thanks in advance.
