Boot Camp for Hackintoshes

Got this from prasys blog! (pra sys.co.cc)

Modin has came up with a solution (that is bypassing certain Boot ROM checks on Apple’s Boot Camp Software) to get Boot Camp to work on Hackintoshes.

* It only works on GUID Partition Scheme (if you have used MBR , it would not work)

I am not going to explain much in details about it . I…
