Mac OS X Mountain Lion is that the latest Mackintosh OS version. Presently the developer preview is available for transfer via torrent websites. For those those who use Windows, yet wish to dip their feet into the new Mackintosh OS X Moutain Lion developer preview , this guide can show you ways to Install Mac OS Mountain Lion Developer Preview into the desktop or laptop. Thankfully, the most recent update of the myHack 3.0 has turned a complex installation into an easier task.

 

 

 

Step 1 – Items you need to install Mac OS Mountain Lion developer preview

 

 

1. Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD or image.

2. Mac OS X Mountain Lion developer preview DMG (Download from bittorrent sites)

3. MyHack app 3.0

4. Mountain Lion kexts

5. tonymac iboot iso (required if you haven’t installed Snow Leopard )

6. Multi-beast ( Only required for installation of Snow Leopard)

7. 8 Gig USB thumb drive

 

Step 2 – Install Snow Leopard Mac OS X

 

Unfortunately the Mackintosh OS Mountain Lion developer preview DMG can not be mounted or interpreted correctly via a Windows system. Unless you’re able to land your hands on a iso version that’s a remake from DMG and it might work, else you may have to be resort to the use of Mac OS X Snow Leopard as the start off platform.

 

Follow the article on how to install Mackintosh OS X Snow Leopard on a laptop to create a functioning Mac OS X 1st. You will need to run the Multi-beast to alter the bootloader to the Chimera loader. If your hackintosh is using the Chameleon boot loader, the Chameleon is unable to support the installation of Mackintosh OS X Mountain Lion.

 

Step 3 – Prepare the Mountain Lion installer

 

Even though the Mountain Lion software package exists as a DMG file, you can not mount the disc and install directly on a Mac OS X. you are required to prepare the Mountain Lion installer. You will need a USB thumb drive. Use the “Disk Utility” package in “Applications” to format the USB partition as Mackintosh OS X Journaled kind.

 

Prepare the Extras folder

Use the Finder program and hunt for the “Extras” folder. Duplicate the Extras folder, you’ll be able to locate the Extras folder right within the root of your drive. Transfer the Mountain Lion kexts and extract the contents, create a replacement folder known as “Extensions” within the Extras folder if it doesn’t exist. Copy and paste the two Mountain Lion kexts files into the Extensions folder. If there’s a prompt asking you if you would like to overwrite the files in there, choose “Yes. ” and replace any existing older versions of the files.

 

Run the myHack app.

 

After making the Extras folder, click on the myHack app in applications and it’ll start, you’re needed to click and hold on to the myHack text right below the myHack image. Drag and drop into the “Applications”

 

 

After that you can run myHack from the “Applications”. You may be asked to key the Mac OS X’s user account credentials.. Select create OSX installer, subsequently select choose produce OS X ten.8 Install Disk. If you have got connected your USB thumb drive and it’s been formatted victimisation Disk Utility. you need to format the thumb drive in Disk Utility beforehand alternatively you may not be able to select the thumb drive because the installation path. The thumb drive won’t show if it’s not formatted to mackintosh OS X Journaled in Disk Utility.

 

You will need to point to the correct installation source which is the Mountain Lion DMG. The myHack app issues a warning that all the information in the thumb drive or partition will be lost.. It’ll proceed to install all necessary files to your thumb drive. The installation will prompt you if you wish to use the generic “Extras” folder or use your the one that you have created, choose use your own, and point to the “Extras” folder that you simply have created. I believe the future versions of myHack should come with the correct settings. The thumb drive takes an extremely long time before it completes the whole process.

 

 

In my experience, despite using a USB 2.0. thumb drive, it takes virtually 90 minutes. The myHack app even hangs at refreshing cache. However after realizing that there’s no more additional activity or lights blinking on my thumb drive, I shut down the pc. I did not cancel the process so that it will not un-do any actions that was already completed. The thumb drive still works fine and dandy in the end.

 

Once everything is completed, you’ll be able to exit the app. Restart your mackintosh OS and ensure that you have selected the boot device to be the Mountain Lion thumb drive that you have just created. Currently there is nothing more to do, all you need to do is wait. Have tons of patience and it takes around fifteen mins simply to load.

The installer will eventually start you get to the ever same screen whenever you wish to install a Mackintosh OS.

 

 

After the installation of Mountain Lion is completed, If you are unable to load the Mountain Lion. Boot into the Snow Leopard OS once more, run the myHack app, choose Run myfix, Make sure that the destination is pointing to the partition wherever the Mountain Lion is..

 

Give it your time, say 30 mins. Or till there’s no additional disk activity. My expertise is that it doesn’t finish, and you will have no choice but to compelled to cancel the task. however when rebooting, merely hit any key while the Chimera bootloader is loading and it’ll pause the screen so you’ll be able to select the partition wherever the Mountain Lion OS is and the Mountain Lion OS will load successfully.
