I used Mechdrew's NBI 2 guide for this one. I used 2 SanDisk Cruzer Micro flash drives (2 GB and 16 GB)

So I get the NBI 0.8.3 on the 2GB drive and the Mac image on the 16GB drive. I boot up the Mini 10v and 20 seconds into the installation I get an error saying it was unable to copy support files and I need to restart and try again. So I restart and I get the dreaded mach_kernel error. My heart sank! lol...

So after searching online for nearly forever and a day, I put GParted on a flash drive and booted it on the 10v. I couldn't find the HFS+ option for the partition so I put it as msdos, figuring that's what the hard drive was in the first place so what's the difference?

So then I had to figure out why it didn't install properly. Turns out, of course, it was a bad image. So this time, I used TransMac to rip the image from the OSX retail DVD. Then I had to edit the computer's registry to let me write to the 16GB drive (which I also did through TransMac).

So I go for try #2, and everything worked just perfectly! Sound, wifi, everything! I am actually writing this post from my new Hackintosh!

Summary and other tips
-16GB flash drive is fine (I read a thread where users came to the conclusion where a 16GB will not work)
-Do not use ImgBurn, use TransMac to rip from the retail DVD (and a .dmg file worked fine for me)
-Use GParted on a USB drive to fix your mach_kernel issues (I set the HDD to msdos and it worked fine)
-Drag NBI to the Mac desktop in order to "unzip" it

Other than that, just follow Mechdrew's guide and you should be fine

Wow, I had like 98% the same experience as you did an hour ago!

Only differences for me:
I used Cruzer Micro 4gb and 8gb drives (It's all I had!)
I told GParted to reformat to NTFS
No registry edited needed for me through TransMac.

I have to give TransMac credit here, it really made all the difference.

Same thing here. Failed using imgwriter, dd, using any of three or four applications to make an .iso image.

I'd heard of Transmac but didn't know what it would entail. I went looking for a guide for Transmac, but didn't need one.

So with a 8GB Cruzer for the OS DVD and a freebie 1GB Dell for the NBI.


Transmac is the solution for the Kernal Panic on installation
