HOW TO CREAT A HACKINTOSH MAC OS MOUNTAIN LION MAC OS X
However, that's only the bare minimum if you plan to install Mac OS X for day-to-day use, I recommend allocating at least 50 GB of space. Also, OS X Mountain Lion takes up about 10 GB of space on its initial installation, so the computer where you install Mac OS X must have at least 10 GB of space in its hard drive. Be sure to read the Hackintosh compatibility guide (will be posted soon) very carefully, to check whether or not your computer qualifies. However, not every computer will work with Mac OS X.

If your computer already has Mac OS X Lion installed, iAtkos will just update Lion to Mountain Lion normally, without deleting any of your apps or files. It can be the same computer as the one mentioned in the previous point. A Hackintosh-compatible computer with 10 GB+ of free space: This is the computer where you will install OS X Mountain Lion. If you're using a Windows computer, it needs to have a DVD/Bluray burner (just about every DVD/Bluray drive nowadays can act as a burner, too). This took me absolutly ages to work out but it was worth it, and to every one saying that the os x downloaded from torrent is bad, i havnt had a single problem yet.- An existing Windows computer/Mac/Hackintosh: This is the computer where you will download and set up iAtkos. after this just follow instructions and you should have a perfectly working mac, so long as the os x file you downloaded is decent. this will mean that the small drive has all the os x data all in one place, so its easy to keep track of. proceed to the re-install (second choice down) and choose the smaller hardrive to install on. select the usb and it will take you back to disk utility. You can now insert your bootable usb flash drive and restart the system. then click image and select the os x file. Now on the restore tab, drag the smaller harddrive partition to destination. You the need to take the now empty usb #1 and copy the whole original os x file onto it from your pcn and plug it into the mac. In the partitioned tab, change current to two and drag the line in between all the way down so you have one big drive and one tiny one. In disk utility select one of your hard drive partitions (or your hard drive if its not partitioned). This should create your bootable usb drive, however there are a bunch of other files in the original download so heres what i did (and my macs working fine) then click image and choose the InstallESD file on usb #1. drag the empty usb #2 to the destination. Then plug BOTH usb sticks back into the mac. I then entered the os x file i downloaded on the pc, went to contents, shared support and then copied the InstallESD onto usb #1. do this for both usb, they may not show up on your pc, you need to use the transmac programe. change format to 'mac os extended journal', change current to 1, and in options tick guid partition table. I then erased and formated two usb sticks using the mac, on disk utility go to the partition tab, select a usb.

I then downloaded the free trial of transmac, which allows you to read mac files and mac formatted disks on your pc. Im going to give instructions incase anyone else is in the same situation.įirst on my pc I downloaded dmg. Ok, so after ALOT of tinkering about I have managed to down load mountain lion onto my mac, using a pc to make the bootable usb stick.
