warpedskydiver 0 #1 October 14, 2010 Have any of you ever created a Hackintosh? I have a friends HP Pavillion DV8000 and upgraded it to Win7, the problem is that no working driver exists for audio. I was thinking about turning it Mac, have you used this method or any particular distro? I have original Mac OS X dvd's as well. Your advice would be appreciated, especially if you know what you are doing. I could figure it out given time... but I have no time. Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theonlyski 8 #2 October 14, 2010 Making a hackintosh isn't going to be any easier than getting the drivers you need... trust me. I turned my dell into a hack, it worked somewhat well, but not better than windows 7. Try finding a vista driver, that should work."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warpedskydiver 0 #3 October 16, 2010 Finally tracked down the correct vista driver, geez there were quite a few variations on the sound card, that led to quite a few drivers. It worked but needed to be edited as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theonlyski 8 #4 October 16, 2010 Yeah, it can be kind of a bitch to keep track of which hardware is in a computer. I just download all of the drivers available for my service tag (dell) and keep them in a folder in a few places, if I ever have to format and start over, I atleast have the drivers as a base."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
