Hey LTT,

So I finally got my other drive, and I am going to hackintosh my PC. I know all my hardware is compatible, but I just wanna make sure my plan of action is correct before I start. What I would like to end up with, is a partitioned dual boot of Windows 8.1 and Mac OS. My current drive setup is as follows: 250GB HDD (formatted for mass windows storage), and a 256GB SSD with JUST Windows 8.1 installed. I was thinking about either partitioning or wiping my HDD because its empty, then cloning my SSD to the HDD. Then, I would wipe the SSD as freespace, then boot into my Mac OS install USB to format the SSD for Mac OS. What I was then going to do is partition off about 60GB in mac, then format the other space of the SSD as freespace for my windows clone I made earlier. After, I would go through with the Mac install, and get all that up and running.

 

Once Mac is running, I was going to boot onto the HDD to format the freespace so I can clone my OS back to the SSD. Then, I would go on having a now partitioned dual boot of Mac OS and Windows 8.1. Will this work, or will my Windows OS not boot after I try and clone it back onto the SSD?
