Unfortunately, my graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 6870) has had issues with the installation process and requires a few extra steps to get everything working. A typical installation would then simply require booting off the flash drive, selecting the installation drive, and then enjoying the new OS.

I used the Unibeast tool from the aforementioned TonyMacx86 community to create a bootable flash drive with the Mountain Lion installer. After installing the $20 update onto my laptop, I finally decided to give it a whirl on my Hackintosh.

As with any system update, the Hackintosh community anxiously starts refreshing their favorite websites ( TonyMacx86) in hopes of reading tales of successful installations before attempting it themselves. The release of the latest Apple computer operating system OS X 10.8 ‘Mountain Lion’ has been a resounding success with over 3 million copies sold in less than four days.
