Need help with creating hackintosh

[Cobymak]

I have tried 3 different Mac os's now I have tried snow leopard, mavericks and lion and neither have worked successfully I am new to this area of PC operating systems and I currently have an Alienware m14x which I don't want to try this on but I am currently trying this on my HP Z600

Have you tried the following Hackintosh specific fora and websites yet?

• tonymacx86 Blog - very good guides and quite good message board
• InsanelyMac Forum
• InsanelyMac Hardware Database
• Hackintosh.com
• OSx86 Project

Getting a Hackintosh to work successfully demands the right chipsets, and lots of other factors. You can't simply take a stock PC like an Alienware or HP and expect it to work without monkeying around and sometimes it's not going to work at all.

Laptops are renowned for their lack of compatibility.

I have built a few desktops and using the compatible parts on Tonymac, they all work without issue.

You can do it with a lot of different hardware, but DSDTs for your board and kexts to make parts work are a complete nightmare, unless you are a boffin.
