How is it that there's no mention of this thing anywhere here on Infinitemac? Anyway, this purports to be: MultiBeast, a utility to help you get your system 100% after installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on your PC. MultiBeast installs…

So now that I have a mostly working boot volume, can someone suggest the best way to clone it to a different drive so I can experiment but have a bootable backup quickly available? I considered using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, but…

Okay, I finally got my Hackintosh up and running. Thank you, PCWizComputer for iPC! Worked like a charm on my Gigabyte P35-DS3R. But now how do I get my old data to the new machine? I have years of data that have come through untold cycles…

“I think you are missing the point, from what I can see (without buying it) they are selling a modified boot loader plus an lspci tool that connects to an online database that downloads kexts for the matched hardware, but of course only if i…”

“You mean that when the community works out the bugs and finds the most compatible hardware psystar deserves to be paid for that? Sounds really fair. Read the comments in the second article electro cites above. It's all about the amount of t…”

“The website worked fine for me just now. I wouldn't say it's pointless, if their "supported hardware profiles" help make building a Hackintosh easier. How many users have systems that work 100% or even 95%? Complaints about bits of hardware…”

“How about allowing OS X to read and write NTFS volumes? Apple should have done that a long time ago.”

“I forgot to download the delta and just updated via Software Update. The only problem I had was a minor graphics glitch on reboot. Reinstalled NVDarwin and everything works fine.”

“Mouse? What is this "mouse"? I came into the 21st century a while back with the Fingerworks iGesture pad. MultiTouch, baby, the one, the original, the real thing! That is, until Apple bought out the company and technology and killed off the…”

“I'm starting to think it might be the USB kernel extensions. I know they've been problematic in 10.5.6. I just recently upgraded to 10.5.7. Should I try the hacked 10.5.5 USB kexts, or is that a bad idea with 10.5.7? There must be some reas…”

“No, I always removed one before installing the other and rebooted with -f. And no overclocking.”

“Are you referring to "Restart automatically after a power failure"? I found that over at Insanelymac and tried it. Not only did it not work, it gave me a hell of a scare. It disabled my boot drive, which also has about 700GB on a separate p…”

“Tried VoodooPower as suggested. Didn't help. I could always shut down and reboot fine. I just can't sleep. Since I don't want this thing running 24/7 and hate having to boot up twice a day, I really wish there was a good sleep solution. Esp…”

“I tried it after the fixes in the P35 Control Center didn't work. Uninstalled those, installed this and booted with -f. Still doesn't work for me. Picking "sleep" shuts down my system. Any secrets you care to share on how to make it work? I…”

“Mine rates 9/10. As stable as the Macs I owned before it. Most of the time, I don't even remember I'm on a Hackintosh. Love seeing four CPU meters in iStat menus. If only I could get sleep to work, I'd be in heaven.”

“Taisto got it right. The name of the article should have been "Why the Dell Mini 9 is a fail for me." Nothing the author wrote was about the Mac experience on a netbook. It was all, "I can't type on it. I can't point on it without a mouse."…”

“The writer is a fool. He picked the wrong netbook. I never would have picked an SSD. The 120GB HD on my Wind is the perfect capacity for on the go. The Wind keyboard is also fine. Just because he didn't research the Mini 9 keyboard beforeha…”

“Noob question here. I'm about to do the same thing with the hard drive from my old iMac. I suspected all that would have to be done is something like running Universal OSX86 Installer on the drive to install the bootloader and extensions, s…”

“Why not buy the 13" and a large LCD? You can have the best of both worlds -- the greatest portability and more screen real estate than even the biggest MBP. 19" LCDs are down to about $110 nowadays and 22" are not much more. Of course, with…”

“Another vote for iPC here. I fought with other distros for weeks before giving iPC a try. Works fine and I've since updated it to 10.5.7 with no problems.”

“That's a bummer. Guess I'll have to install iPC again on the other disk and use Migration Assistant. Or, wait, if CCC doesn't affect the bootloader, can I install a basic iPC and use CCC to clone all user accounts plus kexts and plist over?”

“And use some good thermal grease, I'm using Arctic Silver 5. I only apply one pea-sized drop in the center of the cpu and some small drops in a circle around it. While mounting the cooler I twist it a bit on the cpu, so the grease will beco…”

“Aydinz is right. You can't fry your machine with incompatible software. What worse could happen? I disconnected a VGA cable from a flaky motherboard (Windows build for someone else) a few days ago. The power supply threw sparks out of the b…”

“Have you tried using the "Migration Assistant" utility ? It seems to work fine on Hacks. Thanks. I'd forgotten that Migration Assistant could copy from a bare drive as well as a complete system. Up and running now.”
