Bobert01 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 hi guys an girls im going bonkers here now as its not working... im on a Dell Precision M4300 3GB Ram 2.4Gh'z 500GB HDD - 2 MBR partitions of exactly half the drive 1 for win 7 hp and 1 for osx i have looked about but none has posted how they have booted the installer up i have read that people say or believe this: "The M4300 really is like a D830 with a more professional GPU; that's about the only difference. So, easy and nice Hackintosh with the right CPU." etc but i cannot get to the installer screen with mavericks 10.9 app store. i dont mind trying 10.8.x tho ill try that and post back mean time can others help me out abit ?? where am i going wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted November 5, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 5, 2013 well there is a bootpack here http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/compatibility/ since you have an mbr partition you will need an mbr patch for your installer also. and a mac to create said installer. http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/documentation/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
