Hey guys, Here is a guide on "How to install OS X 10.9 on a PC with a Gigabyte 990FXA Series Motherboard and AMD FX Series CPU". So EFI is for Apple, and BIOS is for everyone else. And this is a problem for EFI booting Windows 7 as well as (U)EFI booting pretty much any other OS out there other than Mac OS X.

It will also show you how to dual boot windows and OS X and even run the same windows install inside of OS X with VMWare Fusion.īefore we start, Here is the exact specification i am using for my Hackintosh install. Screen Output: Graphics Output (UEFI), 1680 x 1050 So the bottom line answer to this question is, the new MBPs use EFI 1.1, not UEFI 2.x.

The following items will be required in order for this to work. A USB Pen (Niresh - 10.9 - Mavericks USB Version.zip) or Dual Layer DVD+R (Niresh - 10.9 - Mavericks ISO Version.zip).Access to both Windows and the Niresh Mavericks USB at the same time.You need to take your time and be patient.1 HDD that is able to be completely formatted (wipe partition table).īoth windows and OS X take some time to install.I am not going to cover how to write the DMG file to a USB pen or DVD and instead will just link you to (Step 1a if your currently in OS X and 1b if your in Windows) Note: you don't need Windows if you don't want to dual boot Preparation

So once you have the Bootable USB/DVD with Niresh on it we are ready to begin.
