If its not too much trouble and does not violate the CoC, could you share it

 

Tough not sure what way i should share it. Dropbox maybe but i fear about their hash DMCA thingy. Tough its free so basicly Dropbox cant do sh!t about it but idk :/ I mean i can put it waiting on my dropbox and see if i get the go ahead

Let me first start off by saying this is a really nice guide but when it comes to installing OS X on a PC, MANY things can vary depending on the hardware, so you should explicitly list your specs in the guide and note that your steps worked for your hardware and may not work on other hardware.

Its encrypted AND 50 GB of free storage. If you want to share anything just send someone a link with the encryption key embedded.

1st I wont ever use this hackintosh for anything important. I did it more to see if I could. If I was to switch to something other than windows it sure as hell would not be OSX. but really who builds a hacintosh to ligitametly use it as their main OS? I even just created a fake itunes account to mess around with it.

 

why? My hackmac is running for more than a year now without any issues.

What's a good HDD for hackintoshing? I'm not really into Ubuntu but I kinda like OS X's interface, but the price tag has always turned me off.

 

I have a 240GB SSD 530 that I'm keeping Windows on right now, not going to use that for OSX. Should I get a plain 500GB laptop HDD, a 500GB 3.5" HDD, a seagate SSHD, or SSD? Does it really affect OSX performance and boot up times?

It will greatly decrease load times with an SSD with anything. My Macbook takes around 15s to boot (HDD) and my Hackintosh takes around 4 (SSD)

 

Just get a Seagate Barracuda, especially if you won't use it as a primary OS.
