Hi guys,

 

Recently I was trying to install Yosemite on my PC. 

 

Here are the specs:

MSI P67A GD55 B3
INTEL I5 2500K 
GEFORCE GTX 970

 

After booting to USB, I get to the grey screen with APPLE logo on it and the progress bar goes like one fourth of the way and then stops. I don't know what to do :/ 

 

Any advice from you guys?

 

Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

PC: i5 2500K 4.2 GHz. Cooler Master Seidon 120V VER2. MSI P67A GD55 B3. 8GB Corsair RAM. Corsair TX650W. Gigabyte Windforce GTX 970.

 

Notebook: ASUS N56JN-CN038H, i7 4700HQ, 8GB RAM, GT 840M 2GB, 750 HDD 5400RPM, 15,6" 1920x1080.

i think that the drive isn't formatted properly, there are two ways (or more) of doing this and one doesn't work. it happened to me when trying to wipe my macbook

 

You mean the thumbdrive with Yosemite on it or my SSD where I try to install it on?

the pen drive, well the OS X software on it; there is a couple lines of code that need to be written into terminal (of the mac) for the drive to succeed. also are you getting the software from a apple computer or elsewhere, cause there are other ways to boot up the hackintosh if you're using an apple one

I am creating USB with Yosemite on it using Unibeast. We will see if it works.

try clover, from what I've found looking at script errors over the last 20 minutes, unibeast sometimes fails so people suggest clover. You can try UniBeast first though - worth a shot
