If you get a kernel panic/loading error (or if the Mac OS X installer simply won't start within 30 minutes), you'll need to enter some boot flags. In the worst case scenarios, instead of loading the Mac OS X installer, you may end up at a dark gray screen that tells you to restart your computer (a kernel panic), or you may end up with a small crossed-out sign (a loading error). Different manufacturers set different keys for opening the BIOS. To enter the BIOS on my own computer's Gigabyte P67A-D3-B3 motherboard, I have to press the delete key when it boots (before the operating system starts). The BIOS is basically a settings page for your motherboard. Also, after installing Mac OS X, you should also sync your clock on Windows with Mac OS X. Otherwise, Windows won't boot afterwards. NOTE: If you already have Windows installed on another internal hard drive in your computer, you may have to enable AHCI for Windows before installing Mac OS X. The Mac OS X installer sometimes has problems with HDMI and VGA. If possible, connect your monitor to the DVI port of your computer's graphics.(Just unplug the hard drive SATA cables from your motherboard.) Open up your computer and unplug any extra internal hard drives that your computer has, besides the hard drive that you're installing OS X on.
A faulty external USB hard drive can cause your Hackintosh bootloader to give you EBIOS errors on startup.

An empty hard drive: You cannot install Mac OS X on a hard drive that already has Windows installed.Be sure to read the Hackintosh compatibility guide very carefully, to check whether or not your computer qualifies.
