Hey guys, I'm new to Hackintosh so bare with me as I give you the entire story.
The computer was a freebie and it's stats are
Dell Vostro 200 SLIM Mobo: (Dell) Foxconn G33M02 running version 1.0.16 (last BIOS update) Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0ghz 2GB DDR2 RAM nVidia gt610 (installed by me per forums for this build)
First off, I'm setting up the bios so Floppy drive is NONE and SATA mode to RAID. Now, for whatever reason, if the computer is turned off or in this case, restarted, the bios resets and I have to go into F2 and set everything manually so I can boot from the flashdrive otherwise, I get a cmos checksum error because of the floppy drive. I didn't have this issue with Version 1.0.13 of the BIOS but a lot of people suggested the bios to be upgraded to the latest version and now I wish I wouldn't have updated it.
So I'm using the unibeast/multibeast method and have a bootable installation flash drive that works fine but the sata ports on the motherboard aren't supported so I'm installing OS X to another flash drive in hopes to clone a HDD after install. Everything installs fine and I get to the post install with multibeast and I've tried EasyBeast and DSDT Free and after they are done I reboot. There isn't anything plugged into the SATA ports while I'm running the setup and post. Once rebooted, everything stops on the DELL logo splash screen.
I don't know if this is something I didn't do in the multibeast setup or if it is something with the bios itself. I created the flashdrive with an iMac running 10.9.5 and all of the extra folders are hidden. So if I need to add anything to the installation files, I'm not too sure how to go about that. All advice is welcome!
