Once it finishes, your USB drive will contain a fully bootable version of the OS X Mavericks installer. This will probably take 10-15 minutes, though it may take longer, depending on the speed of the drive. Win32 Disk Imager will begin writing the Niresh disk image onto your USB drive. Next, select the device letter of your USB drive, and click “Write”. (You will only be able to see the file when you select the “*.*” option in the “Files of type” field– the default “Disk Images” option won’t work) In the Windows Explorer window that pops up, select your downloaded Niresh disk image this file will probably be named “OSX-Mavericks.dmg”. Click the blue file icon on the app’s main screen. From here, erase the USB drive (you can rename and format the drive any way you want– it doesn’t really matter). Right-click on your USB drive, and click “Format”. You will see a list of drives connected to Windows. You can easily do this by typing “partition” into your Start Menu search bar and choosing the “Create and Format hard drive partitions” option. If you are using Windows, plug your USB drive into your computer, and open Windows’ built-in Disk Management utility. We need to write it to a flash drive of 8 GB or greater. dmg file is a bit-by-bit image of the installer disk in Apple’s HFS+ format. Also grab Win32 Disk Imager if you are currently on Windows. dmg image with a BitTorrent client like uTorrent. Unzip it to get the torrent file and use the torrent file to get the. Just hit the download button, get the zip file. When it comes to OSX 10.9 Mavericks, the easiest Hackintosh installer that works with HP Z420 is Niresh’s distro/build. However, some steps might vary depending on your CPU microarchitecture (if you have a different Xeon model) or if you use a different GPU (like Nvidia). Most of the guide will work as it is on the HP Z220, Z420, Z620 and Z820 workstations. This guide you’re about to read is specific to my build of the HP Z420. Now that I have stated everything, lets begin. Interfaces: 4x USB 3.0 + 4x USB 2.0, 1x Firewire.
#OSX 10.9.4 1080P#
#OSX 10.9.4 FULL#
#OSX 10.9.4 INSTALL#
I bought myself a 4TB Seagate SATA HDD to expand my storage and also to install and see what Mac looks like.īefore I begin with the guide, I’d like to state the specifications of my workstation, so as to prevent any further confusion:
The idea seemed good, but the 1TB HDD was already partitioned with Windows and Linux, making it useless for me to install anything else. Now that I had a computer worthy of running experiments, I decided, why not build my very own Hackintosh.
#OSX 10.9.4 HOW TO#
Two months back, my dad decided to buy a HP Z420 workstation so that I could learn about high performance computing and how to operate GPGPUs. It seemed very interesting but at that point of time I did not have the recommended hardware for running OSX. This project has taken great strides ever since Apple decided to switch to Intel, abandoning its PowerPC based Macs.
#OSX 10.9.4 MAC OS X#
But given that Macs have a very nice UI and very good design tools, it did stay as a wish on the back of my mind.īack in 2007, I stumbled across the OSX86 project (better known as Hackintosh), which was a collaborative hacking project to run the Mac OS X computer operating system on non-Apple personal computers with x86 architecture and x86-64 compatible processors. What really put me off was their expensive pricing and low performance to cost ratio, not to mention my parents’ unwillingness to buy one for me. All this made me curious about getting myself a Mac. I had absolutely no idea how a Mac worked or looked like in proper detail except the home screen/desktop which I often saw in screenshots. Ever since childhood, people with Macs would often shun me from using their Mac. Plus, minor hyperlink and text changes.Īpple Macintosh operating system has always fascinated me for a long time, mostly because I was never given an opportunity to use it. Last updated at 20 October 2014: Guide has been updated for OSX 10.9.5.
