Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 24, 2014 Follow installation documentation here. Preinstallation Installation Post Installation. Read thoroughly before you get started. Use the boot pack from this guide. Very similar to your model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwz.mhmd Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 i kinda understand. i read the posts but if you could kindly explain to me what steps to do first in order so when i finish a post i can move on to the next one. the other part i did not understand about bootpack and you said said something about being similiar with my laptop. is there an easier way to understand the process of (bootpack)? another thing is i know how to install windows os i fairly know things about computers but the thing thats worrying me is the process of installing osx. in posts it wont tell you what to do first and the steps to do after and so on. if i successfully install os x on my laptop dual booted with windows, do i have your permission to write a clean post based on how i installed it.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 20, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 20, 2014 Sorry for the late response. A bootpack is what allow your system to boot. Since every hardware is different, each system might have different boot pack specifically DSDT and SSDT. Follow installation documentation here. Preinstallation Installation Post Installation. Update: For Yosemite guide and boot pack see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
