I've been trying to convert my PC into a Hackintosh for quite some time now. Unfortunately I don't have access to a computer with max OSX installed. So the method of using a USB is out of the question for me.

Here are my specs:

i7-860 intel Quadcore
ASUS P755PD LE Motherboard
160Gb western digital SATA (dedicated for OSX)
8Gb of DDR3 RAM
ATI Radeon 4770 HD
IDE DVD drive from LiteON.

I downloaded and burned iATKOS v.7 and booted the DVD. It briefly shows the apple screen then quickly reboots.

Is my set up a no go? Or am I doing something wrong?
