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:

• Choosing the parts
• Bios settings before installation
• OSx86 Project
• InsanelyMac

If you have questions on building the Hackintosh, feel free to post them here. I’ll try my best to help you out.

Before you commence the installation of the Mac OS on a PC, there are some settings in the BIOS you’ll have to configure. As your PC boots up, hit the key that is stated which takes you into BIOS – it’s normally the [DEL], [F1] or [ESC] key that will work for you.

(It’s amazing… this guy, Michael Stevens set up a page on most BIOS types and what key to press. Check it out here.)

Anyhow, once you get into BIOS, follow each setting to the “T” and you’ll be assured that your Mac OS installation will work. I used the Leo4All installation, it will work for others too, I’m sure.

Okay, you’re done! Save and exit… and get to the installation of the Hackintosh part!
