jonboy Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Has anyone been able to use those Extra.xip files? I can get the 3MB one to open, but not the 42MB one, says its a bad zip file. Trying to convert my Latitude E5530 into a hackintosh. Sort of a newbie at this, but I've been testing the myhack software. I currently have a VMware Workstation Mac OS X 10.8 loaded up, but wanted to has a native system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboy Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Oh, I should also mention that I tried using the generic extra first. It finishes the install, but when I reboot it gives me an "Invalid partition table!" error. I looked that up and someone said to just hit enter, which I do, but then it goes to the gray mac screen with the spinning wheel and never boots.

Administrators Bronxteck Posted March 20, 2014 Administrators Share Posted March 20, 2014 boot with -x -v flags it should give more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboy Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Ok, did that. It booted up to the first run and I went all the way through, logged in. I then rebooted it and it hung again, doing the same thing. Rebooted again with the flags and it booted back into safe mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted March 20, 2014 Administrators Share Posted March 20, 2014 yes that is what the -x flag is for. that should allow you to now troubleshoot what your issue is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboy Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Unfortunately I'm more of a windows guy, so I'm not really sure where to start I downloaded the larger Extra.zip folder into my mac VM (was downloading it into my windows computer before) and was able to open that, but it hangs while booting to the install drive when I do that.

What's the specs of your E5530 system? That boot pack might not be suitable for you system CPU? Display resolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
