Using a hard drive from a Macbook as boot drive

[zillk]

If I buy all the compatible hardware to build a Hackintosh, and I use my hard drive from my dead Macbook, will I need to find any kexts, or drivers to run it properly. This is my first time attempting to build a Hackintosh, so any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi zillk,

your motherboard, CPU and graphics will dictate the Kexts you have to use regardless of whether you are re-using your old mac hard drive.

Have a read of guides from User Builds , Golden Builds , Tonymac Guides and MultiBeast.com to understand what kexts are required.

Thanks for the reply, should make things a bit easier than a full install
