By now, I presume you have assembled your PC hardware and are just raring to try your hand at installing the Mac OS. This tutorial follows on from Part 1 – Choosing the parts – do watch it first if you haven’t assembled your machine.
Your parts may be different from what I’ve prescribed, and it’s alright. You may have success with what you have already, but in the event you do not, then go watch the video and buy the recommended parts.
Other resources that are handy while building your hackintosh are as follows:
If you have questions on building the Hackintosh, feel free to post them here. I’ll try my best to help you out.

Hi Scott, I have downloaded kalyway Mac os 10.5.3 and is working find on my VAIO desktop but the problem I have is that I cannot install final cut 7 am getting a statment that I needed to have at OS X 10 .6, can I do an update to 10.6.2, also which one of the hackintouch will allow me to install final cut 7?
Hi Scott I watched your video and it seemed easy to install, what is the latest version you will suggest i use
Quick question. I had the hack installed on my pc. Everything was running fine for a while. Then when i updated itunes, once I restarted my resolution changed. Everything was bigger and I could not change resolution because it only had one choice to choose from. And I cant connect to the internet anymore. Airport wont turn on.

hey, im trying to install snow leo 10.6 and i tried to follow your instructions but when i try to install it, it freezes on the first apple logo page
I did not see if you could work with final cut pro without problems on this hackintosh ??
Do you think it can work with a laptop Sony Vaio i5 or i7 ??
because you did it with a asus motherboard (why ??) anything special with that asus or it could work with any intel based motherboard ??
Thanks for opening the knowledge I really appreciatte
FCP works fine on the hackintosh. As for the Sony Vaio, you’ll have to Google it.
The OS is rather picky with hardware, so it’s best to follow as closely as possible.
my hackintosh is runing good all except for my audio and internet i cant get either to work kinda stuck on that i have a Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2200 any help i can get some help thanks!

Hi
First of all thanks for your tutorial. It worked perfectly for me. I don’t know much about mac os and i’d like to know how you set up my graphic card ( nvidia 8800 gt ) after instalation. I found how to change the resolution but my monitor frequency seems to be to low. In fact, I try to use dual-screen, but the second one is not recognized. ( I saw in the tuto that you don’t install any third party graphic drivers but i don’t how to do that now that the os is installed ).
Some help would be extremely appreciated.
PS: I know that this thread is “a bit” old but it did the job, so…
