My Hackintosh: Windows 7 + Snow Leopard 10.6.3 Dual Boot.

[RapidsGotSwag]

WTF is Hackintosh?

[imadsaidbhai]

Where do u live in

[ThisIsDjYigytugd]

Can I add Mac OS to my current Windows 7 harddrive without deleting the data I have on it now?

[giokabouter]

@ThisIsDjYigytugd Yes u can partiotion it, easybcd handles it for you.

NOt sure how to say partione or something :p

[ThisIsDjYigytugd]

@giokabouter I got it working a month ago without deleting my windows. I do have Mac on my PC but it isn't working too good b/c I'm having issues installing the drivers.

[giokabouter]

@ThisIsDjYigytugd Well, for me (GTX 280) they already came with Iatkos 10.6.3, so I didnt need to do anything for it. Sometimes i select wrong things, reinstalling like 5 times and it works perfect ;)

[ThisIsDjYigytugd]

@giokabouter Its boots into Mac Iatkos 10.6.3 but a lot of things don't work. Video, Network, and Mouse drivers aren't working. I'm gonna try to find a way to update w/o breaking the OS and getting these drivers to work.

[m3m3t11]

why windows 7 is very slow on your pc ?

[giokabouter]

@m3m3t11 Its the same for me, i7 @ 4ghz,12 gig ram, GTX 280. Windows 7 is just so fucking slow, hackintosh boots in 20 secs. Windows 6 in like 1/2 minutes before i can actually do something.

[ankit866]

hey can any1 plz help me

when i try to boot snow leopard

my pc automatically reboots

[giokabouter]

@ankit866 That is because you need a boot CD, get iboot (Its only for i3/i5/7). Then ur in the cd, eject it, get your SL cd, press F4/F5/F6 dont remember. And bam ur done!

[nickdog670]

Can't wait to try this out with my XPS 410. I will buy an extra drive and maybe max out my RAM beforehand.

Is it safe to overclock this system? Because my CPU is running at 1.8ghz and I would like to get it to at least 2.0ghz so I can play The Old Republic when it comes out.

[Imtiaaz786]

@rsvidsbyme Came with my iPod lol.

[KingMacintosh]

Slow as fuck. I had the same HD and it failed, this hard drive seems clunky and slow as fuck.

[Imtiaaz786]

@KingMacintosh I have Lion installed now and Windows 7 Ultimate, both run & boot a hell of a lot faster than Snow Leopard and Professional for me.

[KingMacintosh]

@Imtiaaz786 Good, hope yours doesn't fail abruptly.

[iPwn2010]

i like the song in the vid, its funny :D

[iPwn2010]

@rsvidsbyme probably from apple

[SerShav]

And what loader at you

[SerShav]

And what loader at you



[grantstech]

 LOVE THIS SONG:-)

[bryan1870]

Yeoo how you get dha internet i have it installed but no internet

[kuzeth]

hey man how ya going? thanks for the great tutorial. i have one problem though.

when i get to the setup after booting from an external hard drive, i cant see my laptops hard drive. im running windows 7 with my hard drive split into 2 partitions (140gb NTFS and 20gb FAT32) do i need to format my hard drive and get rid of windows completely? or make it a single partition?

ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated. thankyou in advance.

[MrSiddy1997]

EPIC song ;D



[MrZhunio]

How can i Do dat can u JUst tell me

[Sha12333]

mac or pc: macbook air clone hackbook yeah

[noscopesnipa]

2 partitions or seperate hard drive??

cos i wanna dual boot mac and win 7 on my laptop with 1 hard drive in 3 partitions of 250gb 125gb and 125gb

[Imtiaaz786]

@noscopesnipa I used seperate hard drives. Both OS' like to make backup partitions so I found the easiest way was to disable my secondary hdd, install OS X on the primary, get the bootloader going etc.. then renable the secondary and disable the primary, and install Windows, that way no partitions get mixed and when you renable both the OS X bootloader takes over :)

[noscopesnipa]

@Imtiaaz786

oh k so i cant dual boot win 7 and os x on my laptop with just 1 hard drive then??

i tried it on my desktop about 6 month ago and i had to reformat my whole harddrive and install win 7 again cos mac fucked up my hard drive and i lost all my programs and downloads

[Imtiaaz786]

@noscopesnipa You probably can, but it'll be quite tricky!

[y09ur7pr1d3]

@noscopesnipa Hey I've dual booted OS X with W7 on a single hard drive, it's pretty easy just make another partition in "Create and Format disk partitions", shrink the volume to what size you want for OS X and there you go.

[y09ur7pr1d3]

@noscopesnipa Hey I've dual booted OS X with W7 on a single hard drive, it's pretty easy just make another partition in "Create and Format disk partitions", shrink the volume to what size you want for OS X and there you go.

[dalynthesk8r]

@y09ur7pr1d3 But your entire drive has to be GPT and just your windows partition has to be NTFS thats why its impossible to install OS X with an already existing installation of Windows 7

[KoolJust4U]

shoulda just bought a mac, that way you can legally dual boot mac and w7.

[Imtiaaz786]

@KoolJust4U At the time a mac with similar specs would have cost me twice the amount that I paid for my pc. I only installed SL for a bit of fun anyway, not to use regularly.

[WindowsUndGames]

Leuft das Mac ohne Probleme

[xchronicalz720]

hey did you use iboot

[Imtiaaz786]

@xchronicalz720 Used Chameleon.

[Pro9070]

Man please help.How did you do it?

[Imtiaaz786]

@Pro9070 If I could help I would, it's a complicated process and I was only able to do it because of the guide that I've linked to. That guide is now unavailable so I don't know what to do :(

[LittleKirra]

What the hell is wrong with ur Win install?. My crappy old p4 with 1 GB ram gets to desktop from boot menu in under 45 seconds, With vanilla install...

[Imtiaaz786]

@LittleKirra Not sure, I think it was something to do with the way I'd done the dual-boot, was a lot quicker without OS X.

[ACDCISCOOLNESS]

yo yo yo keep it real PEACE!

[Imtiaaz786]

[PolyHeXanidE]

what a sick boot loader

[KILLA12PSN]

what did you install first?

[Imtiaaz786]

@KILLA12PSN Installed Snow Leopard first on one drive, disabled it, then installed Windows 7 on the other drive.

[notmuchhowaboutyou]

DUDE I LOVE THE SONG. Where can i get it???

great vid too

[Imtiaaz786]

@notmuchhowaboutyou I used a YouTube downloader to get it myself :)

[HackerAmr]

@notmuchhowaboutyou search on youtube mac vs pc rap song

[notmuchhowaboutyou]

DUDE I LOVE THE SONG. Where can i get it???

great vid too

[Joeallday14]

What song is this?

[Imtiaaz786]

@Joeallday14 It's from a parody song, Mac Vs PC, can't remember who did it though.

[mrappreviewer7]

my wifi doesnt work on Sony Vaio Fw series is there a fix?

[Imtiaaz786]

@mrappreviewer7 I'm not too sure, if you check out Insanely Mac on their forums they have loads of fixes for all sorts of issues. It'll probably be you're missing a kext, they should have the right one somewhere, you'll just have to dig around to find it.

[m3xic4n]

Ya if u can can u post the guide or brief description for the dual booting that would be awesome! The Mac and PC dual boot screen looks pretty neat

[Imtiaaz786]

@m3xic4n I'll try to a video showing how to make the bootable USB, then I'll write a bit about the installation process, don't want to risk wrecking mine :P

[themacphantom]

i wonder how you did this

[Imtiaaz786]

@themacphantom In the end it wasn't too difficult, I got quite lucky. I found a guide written by someone else who has the same PC as me, that got me my Snow Leopard install but I had to sort out the dual boot myself which was quite difficult thanks to the Dell bios. I can post some links if you'd like?

[themacphantom]

@Imtiaaz786 yeah sure dude post them. did you have to hack OSX ?

[Imtiaaz786]

@themacphantom Link is now in description :) I had to do a little bit of terminal work but nothing to bad. Really, the only difficult thing is getting all the right drivers, luckily this guy packaged the ones I needed :) Quick note, to get windows working again I had to disable my leopard drive then reinstall windows on my other drive. Re enable leopard disk, sorted :)
