How to install Mac Os X Lion 10.7 Retail on a hackintosh pc from the mac app store - retail version

In this video guide I show you how to install the retail version of mac os 10.7 Lion from the mac app store onto your Hackintosh Pc. You must already have snow leopard on your hackintosh fully updated to 10.6.8 . If you do not know what a Hackintosh is. It is basically Mac os x 10.7 lion running on A windows pc or any computer not made by apple.
Step 1:
Purchase mac os 10.7 Lion from the Mac app store for $29.99 and let in download normally
Step 2:
Open it up and click continue, agree to the licence and Then click install on your current snow leopard disk, Don't worry it will not actually install it will just copy some files over. Reboot
Step 3:
Prepare the Installer Partition 1. Boot back into your existing Snow Leopard installation. 2. Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility 3. Highlight your Snow Leopard drive in left column. 4. Choose the Partition tab, and Click the + to Add a Partition. 5. Name the secondary partition Installer with a size of 8 GB and click Apply. 6. Click Partition. 7. Close Disk Utility

1. Download xMove http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads 2. Double-Click xMove, and choose Installer as Destination.

WARNING: DO NOT choose existing Snow Leopard as the Destination.

Do not interrupt the process- it will only take a few minutes. When done, you'll have a secondary partition on your drive containing the OS X Lion Installer!

STEP 3: Boot Installer & Install OS X Lion 1. Reboot- at the Chimera boot screen, choose Installer 2. It will boot directly to a familiar Mac OS X Installer complete with Disk Utility. 3. Install OS X Lion over existing Snow Leopard or onto any empty drive or partition.

If you've installed directly over an existing Snow Leopard installation, you're done! You should already have done proper post-installation steps on your existing Snow Leopard drive, so skip Step 5 and simply reboot into Lion!

Hi, I recently tried to update to lion from the mac app store. However when i went to it I clicked Buy and it said that i needed to have 2gb of storage so i cleaned 4gbs and it did not work i currently have 96.26 GB of storage but it still wont let me download. What should I do?

[TheSmexyTV]

I have no audio and how did u get that bootloader? I always have to use iBoot to boot up and it's annoying

[jofersine]

Hey man, have you ever seen a 'failure to connect to app store' error?

it say's 'your account or device cannot be verified'

I just can't seem to get around this.

Cheers
