I haven't been able to find much about hackintosh on a i7 m4500 so i decided i'd post this.
I'm new to this whole hackintosh thing. Ive been a proud mac owner until i came to college and "had to get a pc to run certain software". Long story short i'm stuck with this pc and realize how much i appreciate macs ability to "just work." Anyone have success?

Any news on this topic did try it but without any success

did anyone else try this

i did try
Idened V1.3..
it installs perfectly without any problems but after installation i have tried all -v -x -f and -h (i guess i dont know what i am doing but) it always restarts and gives error.
I had put AHCI mode also but in vain. it has installed perfectly but fails to start, doesnt even stop to give an error as to why its restarting so i cant even troubleshoot.
I am trying Deneb v1.5 which is comptiable with M4400 laptop. here is a full youtube video to see DIY/walkthru.
