Post 7: Setting System Parts

-



Unplug all USB-connected devices from your system before you begin the
setup (don't unplug  your keyboard and mouse). A faulty external USB hard drive can
cause your Hackintosh bootloader to give you EBIOS errors on startup.

Open up your computer and unplug any extra internal hard drives that your
computer has, besides the hard drive that you're installing OS X on. (Just unplug
the hard drive SATA cables from your motherboard.)

If possible, connect your monitor to the DVI port of your computer's graphics.
The Mac OS X installer sometimes has problems with HDMI and VGA.

NOTE: If you're installing Mac OS X on a computer that already has Windows
installed, you may have to enable AHCI for Windows beforehand. Otherwise, Windows won't boot afterwards. Also, after installing Mac OS X, you should also sync your clock on Windows with Mac OS X

Post 8 : Boot Into Mountain Lion 10.8.2

Plug in your ML2 usb drive in usb 2.0 port of your system(usb 3.0 don't always work) OR Insert your ML2 DVD media in DVD Drive. Restart Your System.If all goes well, your system will boot into ML2  instead of booting from normal hard drive. You will then be able to watch the Mac OS X menu. If you do not manage to reach the Mac OS X menu, check your motherboard's BIOS settings to make sure that the changes you made in  were properly applied. If they were, but you still cannot boot from ML2, go back to post on  (Creating bootable media if using  Mac or Windows)  and try again with a different USB drive or dual layer DVD. At the Mac OS X menu, select the name of your ML2 USB drive/DVD, by using the left/right arrow keys on your keyboard, and then press the enter key (or return key) to start the OS X Mountain Lion installer. In the worst case scenarios, instead of loading the Mac OS X installer, you may end up at a dark gray screen that tells you to rest...

- BIOS settings: - Set your BIOS to its default settings. - Execute Disable bit: Enabled - XD (if exists): Enabled - Limit CPUID Max: Disabled - Set all cores of the CPU active/enabled. - Virtualization (if exists): Enabled or Disabled, try it. - Hyper-threading: Enabled or Disabled, try it. - HPET (High Precision Event Timer/PCH): Enabled - SATA Mode: AHCI - Set all the Overclock/Performance/Turbo etc. values to Auto. - Set the UEFI mode settings (if exists) to compatible mode Boot Device - If you're using an ML2 USB drive , change the boot device of your computer so that "USB-HDD" is first. If you're using an ML2 DVD , change "CDROM" to first. You need to do this for ML2 to boot. After you finish installing Mac OS X, you should change this setting back to default, so that "Hard Disk" is the first boot device (this optional, but it will speed up your boot times) HPET - Change this to 64-bit SATA Control Mode (your BIOS mi...
