    1. Credits/SourcesEv ery thing OSx86-related is a collaborativ e effort amongst people who enjoy doing these things, as well as those of us who enjoy

    tweaking and experimenting with things. Below are a list of sources used to compile this guide:

    1 . Tech Erra (http://thetecherra.com/)

    2. OSX86 Wiki (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page)

    3 . InsanelyMac (http://www.insanely mac.com/)

    4. Forum member Pingu from Germany for helping me out with the text changes.

    5. And all other forum members who have posted in my topic and helping out the community.

    2. RequirementsHere are the requirements:

    1 . A Dell Optiplex 780 This is necessary to install OSX Mav ericks for this tutorial

    2. A copy of Mac OS X This can be in the form of an existing hackintosh, a v irtual machine within Windows or Linux, or ev en a

    regular Mac. If y ou dont hav e any of these things, then find someone who can help y ou out for a while. I prefer using a

    hackintosh with OSX Mountain Lion.

    Using an already working copy of Mac OS X either in a VM or a nativ e hackintosh install is HIGHLY recommended.

    3 . A 8GB USB flash drive (or larger) Well be copy ing the files to the driv e appropriately , so make sure that y ou hav e a flash

    driv e with enough storage space (8GB or larger).

    4. A copy Mavericks 10.9 GM If y ou dont hav e a Mac Dev eloper Account, then y oull find torrents of 1 0.9 around the web.

    5. 30-60 minutes of time Depending on how tech-sav v y y ou are, this may be quick, or it may take a while.

    6. An SSD or HDD to install 10.9 to For me, I used a 500GB partition to install 1 0.9 to.

    7 . An PCI Express Video Card For use with QE and CI Highly recommended. I use a Ati Radeon HD5450 1 GB but 51 2MB or

    2GB also works.

    8. Install109.zip (http://www.iferrari.nl/downloads/install1 09.zip) This ZIP file contains everything that y ou need to get y our

    flash driv e properly prepared.

    Note: The files for number 8 "Install1 09.zip" contains the following Directory 's (4) and files:

    Kernel - Mach Kernel

    Kexts - FakeSMC.kext - NullCPUPowerManagement.kext - EliottForceLegacy RTC.kext - AppleIntelE1 000e.kext -

    VoodooHDA.kext

    OSInstall - OSInstall - OSInstall.mpkg (Not used for my configuration because I use the entire hard disk)

    Utils - Chameleon-2.2sv n-r2265 - Chameleon Wizard - Kext Utility - EFI Studio - ShowHiddenFiles

    The first 3 .kext files will fix most kernel panics en bios reset that y ou might experience while booting.

    The 2 OSInstall files will allow y ou to install 1 0.9 onto an MBR-partitioned driv e ( ! this is not tested, for further info go to

    insaneley mac forum (http://www.insanely mac.com/forum/files/file/99-mav ericks-mbr-patch/) !).

    3. My SpecsMy installation was successfully done on an Dell Optiplex 7 80 Desktop computer with the following specs.

    NOTE: A PCI v ideo card is recommended to use the full potential of OSX Mav ericks because the on board v ideo card doesn't support

    QE/CI.

    Intel Core 2 Duo E7 500 @ 2.93GHz

    8GB DDR3 1 333Mhz RAM

    Western Digital 500GB HDD

    ATI RADEON HD5450 1 GB

    Intel WG82567 LM onboard network

    Bluetooth USB Cambridge silicon radio (works OOB)

    ADI 1 984A HDA audio onboard

    4. Preparing your SSD or HDD for install on a MBR-partitioned driveIf y ou intent to install OSX86 Mav ericks on the same Hard disk as y our windows follow the steps below.

    For a clean install on a new formatted hard disk go to Chapter 5.

    If y oure in Windows 7 , y ou can easily make a new partition on an SSD or HDD v ia the Disk Management program.

    1 . Start>Run (or Windows key on y our key board plus R).

    2. diskmgmt.msc (press enter after ty ping that)

    3 . Find y our driv e, right-click on it, and go to Shrink Volume.

    4. Wait for it to calculate the amount of space y ou can make y our partition, and enter in y our amount (for an exact GB amount,

    multiple y our desired amount of GB times 1 024, so a 20GB partition would be 20480MB).

    5. Let it make y our partition. It will show up as unallocated space.

    6. Format the new unallocated space as NTFS and giv e it a label (mine was Mav ericks).

    7 . Done!

    5. Formatting your USB driveStart OSX Mountain (Lion) or Snow Leopard to prepare y our USB Flash driv e

    Make sure to backup the files that are already on y our USB flash driv e v ia Disk Utility in Mac OS X:

    1 . Extract the zip file Install1 09.zip to y our Mac OS x desktop

    2. Put USB driv e in y our Mac

    3. Open up Disk Utility .

    4. Click on y our USB driv e in the left sidebar.

    5. Click on the Erase tab in the middle.

    6. Choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the format, and giv e y our driv e a label (like MAVERICKS USB).

    7 . Click on the Erase button.

    8. Done!

    9. Leav e Disk Utility open, as y oull need it later.

    6. Preparing your USB drive with 10.9This part is the most time consuming. Using a USB 3 .0 flash driv e will help things out quite a bit.

    1 . Mount the DMG for Mav ericks (will be called Mac OS X Install ESD on y our desktop).

    2. Show hidden files by running the app ShowHiddenFiles in the folder Install1 09 - Util on y our desktop.

    3 . Click on Show Special Files (leav e the app ShowHiddenFiles open we need this later).

    4. In the folder MAC OS X Install ESD right click on Basesy stem.dmg and choose open with DiskImageMounter(default)

    5. Switch back to Disk Utility .

    6. Click on y our flash driv e in the left sidebar.

    7 . Click on the Restore button in the middle area.

    8. For the source, drag Mac OS X Base Sy stem from y our desktop into the empty Source box.

    9. For the destination, drag y our USB driv e from y our desktop into the empty Destination box.

    1 0. Click on Restore and ty pe y our password. This process will take any where from 5 to 1 0 minutes depending on the speed of y our

    flash driv e.

    1 1 . When its finished, y oull end up with 2 Mac OS X Base Sy stem driv es on y our desktop. Figure out which one is y our USB copy

    (y ou can right-click > Get Info and use the capacity as an indicator), and rename it to MAVERICKSUSB, after that open it up.

    1 2. Once y ouv e opened up MAVERICKSUSB (the one thats y our flash driv e), go to /Sy stem/Installation.

    1 3 . Youll see a sy mlink for Packages. Remov e it.

    1 4. Create a folder called Packages.

    1 5. Open up a window of the original Mac OS X Install ESD driv e and copy ev ery thing within Packages to the empty Packages folder

    on y our USB driv e.

    1 6. Done! 1 0.9 is now installed onto y our USB driv e. Now, we need to modify some of the files on it so that it will properly bootup on

    a PC.

    7. Adding the fixed 10.9 files to the USB driveNow, we need to modify some of the files on y our USB driv e so that it will properly bootup on y our PC.

    What y ou can do is to Copy the OSInstall.mpkg file (in my zipfile Install1 09.zip in the directory OSInstall) to

    /Sy stem/Installation/Packages/, rename the file thats already there and past it in the folder. After that boot again to y our setup.

    Oke i am at home now i hav e attach the file in this post extract the extra folder to y our root of y our USB Install. After that boot from

    the USB Stick and it will work. If booting is ok go further with chapter 8 Preparing the files for USB but now y ou must do this to

    y our HDD.

    I will change this as soon as possible in my Tutorial. I hope this will help y ou.

    Just boot with -v -f

    Let me know if its worked out for y ou so i can change the tutorial.

    Hi to ev ery body .

    Yesterday I installed Mav ericks on a DELL 7 80.

    I hav e NVDIA GT61 0 and is working fine, just a minimal issue, please y our help.

    I installed the following kext

    - AppelIntelE1000e.kext / Network

    - NullCPUPowerManagement.kext / I think is for power management

    - VoodooHDA.kext / Audio on board and HDMI audio enabled

    I did not use the following kext files.

    - EliottForceLegacy RTC.kext

    - FakeSMC.kext

    After CPU goes to sleep mode, and I try to wake up the CPU, my sy stem just got frozen, I hav e no v ideo, and hav e to restart manually

    the CPU.

    Do y ou know if the following kext (EliottForceLegacy RTC.kext / FakeSMC.kext) files will help to fix sleep problem?

    peptopepto Posted Posted 2 8 October 2 01 3 - 05 :04 A M2 8 October 2 01 3 - 05 :04 A M

    You need also both kext files the EliottForceLegacy RTC.kext is for bios reset and the fakesmc for The Sy stem Management Controller

    like fan control sleep and more sy stem related hardware for intel base macs. But the sleep issue still exist on the dell 7 80.

    If y ou wanna know if the string is right go to sy stem report and profile and watch y oor string at graphics it starts with 0x68e1 , than

    look abov e for further string. Or make a screenshot of y our sy stem profile so i can see y our graphic string for the HD5450.

    I am using a spapphire.

    What org.chameleon.boot.plist file did you modify (was it on the USB installer?), and what edits did you make to it?

    Thanks!
