I want to use a partiion of my SSD to build a MacOS Yosemite.

 

My question is: Is my hardware compatible so I could start followin guide for installation?

Intel i7 4770  (no K)

Asus z97-A

GTX 760 (gainward originally with aftermarket TwinFrozer)

8GB 1600Mhz DDR3

250 SSD Samsung + 1TB WD

 

Thanks in advance for any help

Yes your system should work fine.

There is the stuff you will need.

I would use a separate drive as you risk wiping out your Windows partition if the bootloader install goes south.

 

But everything looks fine. It's generally AMD stuff and strange chipsets that has issues.

Your build is compatible, you could just partition your ssd how you want it. Windows has a built-in tool to do that.

However it is advised to use a separate ssd. Would suggest you try http://www.tonymacx86.com/ for further help.

It's very hard to break your windows bootloader with Chimera...

It's still recommended to use a separate drive though right?

 

I remember wiping out my Windows many times with Grub installs

Grub is very different compared to Chimera. Yes it is recommended but you can very easily use one drive. I am using one drive for my windows and OS X on my main build and also one drive on my secondary build

Thanks everyone for those fast responses.

One question:

I don't have acces to another SSD.

Do you recomend installing on HDD? (HDD is only movies and nothing important)

I love the SSD speed

How many % chance is there of loosing Windows parition?

If Windows is already install and its in one partition you will need to reformat the SSD into a FAT32 (Windows) and HFS+ (OS X) Partitions.

This is my storages

 

It doesn't look like its been partitioned. 

Do I have to fromat the SSD to partition it? or can I keep my windows and create a partition?

 

If thats not possible, Im going to install it on HDD :(

Sadly your SSD is not partitioned so you would need to reformat the SSD which means you would need to backup your files to either your 1TB HDD or to an external HDD. If you want to install OS X to the 1TB you will also need to reformat the whole drive which means, unless you backup the files, they all get deleted.

What I would recommend you do for the 1TB is create two partitions. One for OS X and the Other for storage. OS X needs to be HFS+ and the Storage drive can be either HTFS or FAT.

 

If you need help I'm here for the next few hours.

Okay guys, Im back

 

Ive installed it and it worked perfectly fine. 

After the first reboot, internet was working. Then after second reboot, internet stopped working.

It says that my "ethernet kabel is either unplugged or something is wrong"

I've tried to reconnect and it didn't work.

 

Typical problem when and built my PC's and I downloaded a driver and it worked.

 

Is there a way to download driver for mac, like a DMG file and install it?

[DaniSTHLM]

I First installed by choosing Ease"something" from the Multibeast. I installed them, internet was working fine, then AFTER restart, internet went down.. So I thought it was the problem and went over to use DTST/DTST Free. Dont remember which one I chose.

 

Now im stuck at this screen.

Any tips?

 

When I start the PC, I go to BIOS setting and choose the HD Yosemite, its goes to Chimera and there I choose Yosemite.
