Troubleshooting for Hackintosh!

No sound?

Have you try "VoodooHDA.kext"? It works for most Sound cards. Here is the Link: VoodooHDA.Kext

You can install it using KextHelper ..Here is the Link: KextHelperb7.pkg.zip..Drop files on its icon or on the open application.

Notice: some PC require "VoodooHDA.prefPane" to be install into the system/library/PreferencePanes Folder...you will find that file inside VoodooHDA-0.2.2. Folder. First try it without it.

If you know exactly what type of "Sound Card" you have, just look for the right kext on my kexts blog.

BACKUP your Hard drive (Using the Time Machine) Before Installing a new Kext/drive..Use it on your OWN RISK!


Also you can check the osx86project.org web site for 3rd party drivers support..osx86project.org


Thanks to the Hackintosh Community we have today PC's running Mac OS, so always support them!


Is very Important for you to know what type of hardware you system has, otherwise it would be very difficult for you to resolve a hardware problem. So, double check your hardware before installing a new kext or check the forum from someone who already has resolved a similar problem. Every computer is different not only in the type processor but also the configuration. Always do your research and browse for solutions. When it came to Computers always remember their are machines and sometimes it can be frustrated.


No Disc Found? (Installing Snow Leopard OS)

This issue can occur on systems that do not have a GUID formatted disk, or that had a previous instillation of another operating system on the internal hardBold text disk. The disk must be formatted as a GUID volume and ALL DATA ON THE DISK WILL BE LOST. The procedure to do this and convert your disk to one ready for the Mac OS are as follows:
Click on Utilities on the tool bar, then select Disk Utilities.
On the left you should see your hard drive.
If not, a disk is not connected or cannot be read by your computer.
After selecting your hard drive click on Partition.
Under Volume Scheme, click current and select 1 partition.
Under Volume Information, name your hard drive.
Format: Free Space
Click Apply
Click Partition
After selecting your hard drive click on Partition.
Under Volume Scheme, click current and select 1 partition.
Under Volume Information, name your hard drive.
Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
At the bottom of the window Click on the Options Button.
Select the GUID Partition Table
Click OK
Click Apply
Click Partition
Quit Disk Utilities


"Dual Boots"....if you'd like your PC to have install "Snow Leopard OS" and "Windows 7" make sure to select 2 partitions instead of 1. the first one Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and the second one Format: DOS Fat. you can use it later to install Windows 7. If you have only 1 hard drive you can split it. If you have 2 hard drives, you can do it one at the time.

If your Battery doesn't show in the Menu Bar....

you might want to Install a "Battery Pkg." and it will fix the issue. After you Installer it, just restart your Laptop and it will show in the Menu Bar.....battery.pkg.zip
