Select the USB drive, go to the “Restore” tab. It’s pretty straightforward from here. Select your image/DVD as the source, and the USB drive as the target. And away you go. Run OSx86 Tools, click install EFI/Run FDISK, choose to install PC EFI 8 on your USB Flash Disk.
There are tons of awesome live, bootable Linux systems, but what if you need to run OS X? Reader Will shows us how to put a portable version of OS X on a thumb drive and boot it on (most) Intel computers.
Battle of the Thumb Drive Linux Systems
These days, it only takes an increasingly-cheap USB thumb drive and a program like UNetbootin to…

People put linux on their flash drives all the time. They also get hackintosh on their hard drives quite often. However, it'd be nice to be able to get the same live experience we get with Linux using OS X. With a distribution of OS X 10.6.2 called iPortable Snow, we can.
You'll need an actual Mac to create the thumb drive (some Hackintoshes may work; mine didn't). Search your favorite torrent site for iPortable Snow and download it. While it's downloading, format your external hard drive or thumb drive (You'll need at least an 8 GB thumb drive for this). Open up Disk Utility and select the drive you want to put OS X on. Go to the Partition tab and create one partition, formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Hit Options and make sure you're using the Master Boot Record option. Then hit Apply to format the drive.

Now you're done with Disk Utility, so go ahead and close it. Now, open the iPortable Snow installer you downloaded. You should get a window like this:

Double click the icon with the umbrella labeled 'iPortable_Snow_x86'. That should automatically open a program called CopyCatX, which will look like this:

In the first window, head to the Backup or Restore section, change the selected partition to the one you formatted for your Hackintosh, and click the Backup/Restore button.

In the next window, click the radio button on the right to change it so that you're restoring the drive to a backup. Then hit Start. It'll ask you to find a file to restore from. Use the 'iPortable_Snow_x86' volume archive file on the iPortable Snow disk image. It will start copying the files to your thumb drive.
Next, you'll have to fix the bootloader. After it's done restoring, go back to the iPortable Snow Install folder. Open 'First Aid'. In there, you'll find a program called iPortable Bootfix. Open it. Continue through it normally, but on the third page, click 'Change Install Location' (this is very important). You need to change that to your thumb drive. Otherwise, it'll install a new bootloader on your Mac that will break it. Once it finishes, you're done. Go ahead and rename the hackintosh partition whatever you like for the sake of personalization.

You should now be able to boot from your thumb drive just like you would a live Linux thumb drive. Instead of booting into your computer's OS, you'll get the Chameleon screen with a few choices. iPortable Snow is designed to work on most Intel-based computers, though some video cards won't have advanced features (like 3D gaming) out of the box.
Ed. Note: While Will tested this on a few different Intel computers with great success, I could not get it to work on my Hackintosh at home (and sadly, the rest of my friends have Macs, with which iPortable Snow is ironically not compatible). So, if you have some time, give this a shot and let us know how it goes in the comments.

Hey guys,
So I had a lot of problems with my hackintosh build. Wrong mobos (or at least they were supposed to work, but didn't), kexts not installing, the works. I now have a working Hackintosh (and am in fact posting from it right now) so I decided to give something back.
This is my build.

Everything works. Sleep, audio, video, my GPU, the entire thing works.
I'll do a step by step guide for you guys. Here goes!
Prerequisites
![Install iatkos v7 via usb cable Install iatkos v7 via usb cable](/uploads/1/3/4/1/134149379/766202137.jpg)
- I recommend that you start by checking your components. That was my first downfall.
- Create a Niresh USB drive. You can use this guide here to install it, but I'd recommend only creating your USB drive via the guide then coming back to this
- Make sure you download the .DMG file from the Niresh page - for reasons unknown, the ISO did not work at all. Use Win32 Disk Imager to write it to a USB drive of 8GB or more. Ignore the error about corrupting your drive - it won't.
Unplug everything you don't need - any printers, stuff like that. Only connect the drive you're installing OSX to to your SATA connectors for now.
The Guide
So, you have your (compatible!) parts, all shiny and new. Unbox, build your PC and make sure it boots, beeps and POSTs. Head into your BIOS/UEFI page and do the following:
- Enter the standard looking page rather than the annoying advanced page. Press F2 and a normal looking BIOS page will come up but you can still use your mouse.
- Change your first boot drive to your Niresh USB drive. Later we'll change this back to your OSX drive, but for now leave it as your Niresh drive. Don't set it to anything starting with 'UEFI' as OSX doesn't like it. Choose 'P0/SATA/Legacy', although on this particular board it's P0.
- Head over to Peripherals. Scroll down to xHCI Mode - change this to Auto. Smart Auto doesn't work.
- xHCI Hand-off / EHCI Hand-off - Set these to Enabled too.
That's it! You may have to mess around with the VT -d setting but I personally didn't.
Anyway, save and reboot. Gonset gsb 101 manually download. Your USB stick is now going to boot you into Niresh. Choose the option that says hd(0,1) Niresh-Mavericks (or similar). A grey screen will appear and the Apple loading animation will start to spin around. Give it a little while, if it freezes then the animation will stop although that shouldn't happen.
You'll come to the language selection screen next. I think only English works but don't quote me on that. I read that somewhere but I'm English so I don't need any other language.
Click through the various pages until you get to the 'Install OSX' page. It'll be blank - no worries. Go to Utilities, Disk Utility, then select your drive (be it an SSD or HDD).
Click the Erase tab, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and type in a name. I personally just use 'OSX Mavericks' but in all honesty, it makes no difference as we aren't keeping Niresh anyway. Fate kaleid prisma illya episode 1 dub. Call it whatever.
Click Erase and give it a second. It'll reformat your disk so OSX can see it.
Exit that screen and your disc will appear in the installer window. Choose it, and click Next. There is a Customise button but for this particular installation you don't need to do anything in there.
OSX will take a little while to install. Go and get a cup of coffee and come back in half an hour or so.
Once it's done, remove your USB drive and reboot your PC. A new screen will appear now - the Niresh boot screen.
You need to tap a few keys on the keyboard before it boots as Niresh will not boot as it is. We need to enter some bootflags.
For this particular build, we need to enter the following:
-f -x -v PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=No dart=0
You can enter them just like that. Press enter and it will start scrolling through a lot of text (-v is Verbose mode, which gives a run-through of everything it's doing while booting. If it hangs you can read what it doesn't like as well, which is helpful). Eventually you'll get into OSX. A little window top right will appear to do with configuring Niresh. You can ignore it - although don't reboot.
This is where you leave Niresh behind and get the full, retail version of OSX.
Open the App Store, search for 'OSX Mavericks' and download it. It's a 5 and a bit GB download so give it a while. I personally have quite a fast connection and it still takes around 15 minutes. It downloads into your Applications folder - leave it there.
Next, go into Safari. We need to download a small application to write the Mavericks installer to your USB stick.
Register, download it but don't run it yet. First we need to wipe our USB stick. Head back into Disk Utility, select your USB stick and click the Partition tab. In the drop down box choose 1 Partition. The option button is now clickable - check it's still set to MBR. Close that and erase the drive. Make sure you use Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for this or Unibeast won't detect it.
Now, head to your Downloads folder, unzip Unibeast and run it. Click through the installer, choose your USB stick as the installation media (in all honesty, it'll likely be the only thing there anyway but if not, make sure you choose your USB stick). The next screen asks what version of OSX you'll be installing - make sure you click Mavericks.
Next, you'll get an option to enable Legacy USB support and Laptop Support. You can ignore this and click next for this build.

Now, Unibeast will install to your USB stick. It can take a good while - even though it looks frozen, it isn't. Mine takes around half an hour to install so don't panic!
When it's done, it'll say that it's finished. Close Unibeast, leave your USB stick in and reboot.
Make sure your boot order is still USB drive in the top box. If not it'll just boot back into Niresh.
The Unibeast menu will appear if all has gone well. Choose your USB stick and the retail OSX installer will appear!
Click your language (but I've only tested this with English) and click next. You'll be presented with the install destination page again. Your drive will appear as it's in the right format, but to be safe you can reformat it in Disk Utility, using the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) option as well as 1 partition.
Choose the disk and let it install. Again, this takes around half an hour so leave it to it, go do some other stuff and come back. Leave the USB drive in once it's done. This is important or it won't boot next time around.
Once it's done, choose your OSX installation from the Unibeast screen. OSX will load the set up options, then it will go straight to the desktop. Success!
Now, before we do anything else, you need to go download Multibeast. Make sure you download version 6.4.2 - this is the Mavericks-specific version. I don't know what happens if you use another version but I suspect this will be you.
Unzip it, run it and you'll be presented with an apple with eyes. Click on 'Quick Start' and choose 'DSDT-Free'
Next click on Drivers. Head down to Audio and chose ALC892, then Disks and choose the correct TRIM option (if you're using an SSD, if not, ignore it). After that, go to Network, and choose 'AppleIntelE1000e 2.5.4d (or something similar, I'm doing this whole guide from memory).
Click build, then Install. It'll take a second, then it'll finish. After that, unplug your USB stick, reboot OSX and now it should boot without your USB stick! Choose OSX (or leave it, it'll enter it if you leave it anyway) and you have a fully functioning retail OSX! Internet, audio, graphics, the works. You'll also have the most up to date version of OSX as it came from the App store, so you don't have to worry about updating it. iTunes etc may need an update but that's safe to do. Follow this if you want to update your Hackintosh.
