DrNomis_44's Hackintosh Build

Doc, if the DVD specifically says OEM and is only a 32 or 64 bit disc then it will not work. If it was part of a retail set with both 32 and 64 bit DVDs then it can be used as many times as you want.

KB, the recordings are still unfinished, I'll see if i can snag a few raws for you to take a peek at!

Both of my Genuine Microsoft Windows 7 DVDs are not OEMs, I bought them back in about 2009 I believe, if my memory serves me right.

Great stuff Kels look forward to hearing your handy work. Doc you'll need 8gb to 10gb of space for just the El Capitan install so should be ok with small drive. But be aware you'll then have large installs for your musc and Daw software plus whatever other software you need. When you can get yourself A Western Digital 1tb Black Caviar 7200 rpm drive for the operating system. Then a separate drive to write your audio to. It just makes life easier. Plus you can split the operating system drive as Kel suggests and load El Capitan and Win 10 on a dual boot. Which you can then select on boot up. Which Is what I sometimes use for Microsoft office etc when needed.

I might see if I can buy a couple of 1Tb Sata drives soon, they should be coming down in price as SSDs become more commonplace, or maybe a couple of 500Gb Sata drives.
