hey guys this is Austin and today view the tutorial on how to create a hackintosh with Mac OS 10 mountain lion there are several things to keep in mind before doing this so please listen carefully first of all this will not work on all computers you must have compatible hardware I will have the info for my build in the description of this video if you want to know more a great place to check out is Tony Mac x86 comm it's a great resource for finding what hardware is best suited for OS 10 one thing to keep in mind is that this isn't for everyone lots of things can go wrong so if you're not prepared to do a little tinkering and research hack and toshing probably isn't for you once you're sure your computer is compatible you'll need a couple more things first of all is the computer running OS 10 with the App Store installed you'll also need an a gigabyte or larger USB Drive to install mountain lion and I'll have the one I'm using listed in the description I also highly recommend having a hard drive or SSD that's totally free of data that can be used just for mountain lion first step is to grab your Mac and download mountain lion from the App Store if you've already bought it you can navigate to the purchase tab and grab it from here if you don't have mountain lion I'll be giving away a promo code for it on Twitter in the next couple days once it's downloaded the Installer will pop up but instead of running it just close it now open Disk Utility and plug your USB Drive in select it and then hit the partition tab select one partition click options and choose master boot record name it USB and finally under format choose Mac OS extended journaled then click apply now you need to download uni beast for mountain lion I'll have a link in the description but you will need to create a forum account to download once you've done that open uni beast and click through the installer it will ask you where you want to install so choose your USB Drive we just made you'll find a couple options for legacy support as well as preparing uni beast for laptops so choose either of these if you need them now just give the Installer a few minutes to load mountain lineup time to move over to your soon-to-be hackintosh at this point you'll need to plug the USB Drive into your computer and enter the BIOS this step is going to be different depending on what motherboard you have but it's fairly straightforward first find boot options and select USB hard drive is your first boot device then double check that your motherboard is set to a HCI mode save the changes and it should boot from your uni beast Drive select USB and try to boot if you have issues like I did try again but this time type graphics enable or equals no in the prompt if you're still having problems try booting with the - V flag and noting what error you get once it boots you should see the OS 10 installer where most of the way there however there's one more thing to do before installing come up to the top menu and select Disk Utility here you should see all hard drives connected to your computer pick the one you want to install mount line on and select the partition tab an option select GUI D partition table then choose Mac OS extended journaled as the format and name it mountain-lion then click apply close Disk Utility and go through the installer like normal when it comes to the install screen just pick the mountain lion disk and then click install this will take quite a while so be patient and let it do its thing once it's done you should reboot back into the uni peace drive this time select mountain line and then complete the installation nicely done you now have OS 10 installed on your new hackintosh now is the time to start experimenting around and checking to see if everything works my bill works nearly perfectly out of the box with the exception of the onboard audio which I don't use anyway more than likely you'll have a few issues but no worries just take note of everything that isn't working at this point you can just be done however you are still booting from the Uni beast USB Drive there's one more optional step to finalize your installation and fix any problems you might have head over to the download section on Tony Mac x86 comm and download multi base for mountain lion again go through the installer until you reach the options here you need to choose easy beast or user dsdt for me I can use user dsdt by itself but depending on your build you may need to use easy beast or user dsdt with a pre-built dsdt file beyond that just select the drivers that you need for whatever isn't working on your computer and you're good to go congratulations you now have a 100% working hackintosh if you found this video helpful be sure to leave this video a thumbs up and if you're interested in more videos like this be sure to subscribe
