Everyone will have to excuse me, since I seem completely dense over taking on this task.

I have the retail Apple DVD, but looking at the guide on page 1 loses me from the first link. Am I able to just use my roommates Macbook Pro & install OSX to a Hardrive via enclosure or do I need to 1) download 10.5.2 2) Find the combo updates somehow & update them 3) once I get to 10.5.7 somehow, start using this guide?

I'm unfortunately am plague by being a specific person & am lost on which guide im using or what disks & etc. The other guide doesn't even have links, I understand google is my friend, but I need a more definite process of starting this. I know I can do it, I just need to be placed on the right path.

Overall if I can just use my roommates Macbook Pro & hook a enclosure HD up to it, that be great. I guess if I can, I just install the HD, install the DVD & start from this guide & download the needed items to be installed on the enclosure HD. If I read the other guide correctly!

edit:

Almost forgot system info:

I am wanting to get a Hackintosh on a:
eVGA X58 Micro
i920 processor
Corsair Dominator 6GB
8800GT eVGA 512mb card (apparently a decent choice starting out for this stuff)

Thanks all in advance for the help.

im not entirely sure but it should work installing it through an enclosure via macbook pro. just remember to install chameleon in the right drive path (the enclosure).

Code:

 BIOS:E758_SZ2Z
Motherboard:EVGA x58 132-BL-E758-A1
CPU:Intel Core i7 920 @ 4.0 GHz
OS:Snow Leopard 10J567:x64 Vanilla
Memory:24 GB G.skill DDR3 1333 MHz
HDD:10 x 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black
Graphics Card:EVGA Geforce GTX480 1536 mb

Think I will give it a shot straight from my PC. I'll just download all the combo updates from the apple support site & get it to 10.5.7 & follow the guide from there & here. Guess I'll let you know by tomorrow night how this turns out. Thanks

edit:

If I do decide to use my roommate's Macbook Pro that he just got that has the newest 10.6.4 update, should I skip the 10.5.7 section & just install Leopard on the drive I plan on using, then from there plug it into my system & move ahead with the rest of the installation?

if you use your roommates macbook pro just install snow leopard on the enclosure.

Code:

 BIOS:E758_SZ2Z
Motherboard:EVGA x58 132-BL-E758-A1
CPU:Intel Core i7 920 @ 4.0 GHz
OS:Snow Leopard 10J567:x64 Vanilla

Any updates as far as getting native powermanagement with newer bioses? I have the new SLI 3 botherboard, and there's no older bioses that don't support 6 and 8 core chips. Do you guys think 10.6.5 will fix this since the 2010 Mac Pros have the 6 core chips? I've been wondering if the newer builds of 10.6.4 that come with the 2010 Mac Pros and the new MacBook Airs would work too, but I can't find any torrents of them.

I don't think the problem is 6 or 8 cores but the absence of the 2 or 4 extra cores on i7 920. In our quest for native power management Airwalk and I went thru many tests and once we found that indeed having those extra empty cores is a problem we never attempted to go back to newer BIOS's to try to fix it. May be you want to give it shot? If so, please share your results.

Well, I think I'm gonna have to wait for 10.6.5 to try it again. I'm running a 950, so I would have the same problem as you, and I know I've always gotten a kp anytime I tried going native. If I can find a torrent of 10.6.4 from a 2010 mac pro or macbook air then I can try those, but I haven't had any luck, and 10.6.5 is right around the corner. I guess I could put 10.6.5 beta on a spare drive and try that.

Just wanted to post back about my progress. After much deliberation & reviewing things, I finally went ahead with the install today with hope of joining the ranks of other fellow hackintosh members. It was a very interesting journey & after about 6 hours including (eating, bio breaks, researching, & installs) I finally have my system running 10.6.4

Thank you slayer for the guide, I will admit I didn't use it at the beginning, but rather a tonymac method, but in the end your guide saved my ass a lot of headaches. From the right files, to the correct procedures, & even ways to edit EFI strings once 10.6.4 was installed. So credit to you slayer & other's around the net that provided information.

Now I just need to research how I go about installing a new Windows 7 type system

edit 1: I'm currently running the Voodoo HDA audio kext, but my sound is static at times, or it comes & goes. I have to move around the computer & deal with the cords to get sound back, never had any issue in windows. By chance is there another kext I should look into?
Motherboard: x58 EVGA Micro
