Hi, i have a msi z170-a pro motherboard and i am trying to install osx el capitan, for some reason every time i try, it doesnt work. I have tried using dmg files and writing them to usb, still dont work. Can it be that my motherboard doesnt support it???

Does your system have an SSD in it? Only 1 ssd (m.2) from samsung works with Hackintoshs right now, from knowledge, I don't know if MacOS supports SSDs.

Its on this list (http://www.tonymacx86.com/building-customac-buyers-guide-april-2016.html#Motherboards) so it should be working, check for maybe a mistake youre making?

How are you going about getting this done exactly?

This is very incorrect. I doubt its an SSD issue. I'm using 2 SSD's with OS X fine (Samsung and Corsair). Your going to have to be more specific. What goes wrong? Does the USB boot? Did you simply drag and drop from a Windows environment? Do you have an Intel CPU? There are many things to consider here...

Alright, I didn't truly know, I heard this from Keys on Netlinked daily that it was the only supported SSD for Hackintoshs... I'm just a noob I guess.
