| Install Snow Leopard on Your Hackintosh PC, No Hacking Required Files needed during the installation and after the installation : X58_Mobo_Patch_Installer.zip . Plist editor (macosx) . Kext files ( to put them in Extra folder in main hard drive where u have installed snow leopard
Step One: Prepare Your Thumb Drive
Once you've finished there, you're ready to set your BIOS and install Snow Leopard. 1. Open Disk Utility, and click on the drive you want Snow Leopard to be installed on. 2. Once you have selected the Drive, Click on the “Partition” Tab, Select 1 Partition from the Drop Down menu. Then Click options and GUID Partition Table. 3. After that name your drive to “Snow” YOU HAVE TO OR ELSE DMG WONT WORK. Which drive is which. 4. Let it format, and you have completed. The formatting part.
Step 2: Install bootloader all you've got to do is fire up the EP45UD3P Snow Leopard.pkg file (if you haven't already downloaded and unzipped it, you can grab it here), select your thumb drive, and, let the installer take care of all the dirty work that you previously had to do one line at a time in Terminal.
Step 3: Set Your BIOS Before you can boot into or install OS X on your Hackintosh, you've got to make some small adjustments to your system BIOS (press Delete at system startup to tweak your BIOS settings). MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T) Page One

Set Your Hard Disk Boot PriorityThis is a particularly important setting—when you're booting into the Snow Leopard installer on your thumb drive, make sure that your thumb drive (which should be inserted) is set as the top boot disk. If you decide to add the EFI bootloader to your hard drive after you complete the install, you'll want to set that hard drive as first in the boot priority
Step 3: Install Snow Leopard If you've made it this far, the hard part is over. Now it's time to install Snow Leopard, which—unlike what we've done so far—is extremely easy. The quick version goes like this: Boot into the Snow Leopard installer, format the hard drive you want to install Snow Leopard to (go to Utilities -> Disk Utility, then click on the drive, select 1 Partition, Mac OS X Journaled.), and give it a name, and make sure GUID Partition Table is set in the Options. After you Apply the new partition, go back to the installer and install like normal to that drive. When you reboot after the install completes, press F12 then arrow keys at the graphical boot menu and select the drive you just installed Snow Leopard to or the USB drive where u have put the bootloader files.

To install the custom bootloader to your hard drive (so you no longer need the thumb drive to boot), again download the EP45UD3P Snow Leopard.pkg zip file and run it, but this time, instead of choosing to install the package to your thumb drive, select the hard drive you've installed Snow Leopard to. Once the installer completes, you'll no longer need your thumb drive plugged in to boot into Snow Leopard. write down the correct UDID of the device to these two files :
PlatformUUID.kext and AppleSMBIOS.kext
u can find UDID from :
Utilities >>> Disk Utility >>> and just choose the drive where you have installed your snow leopard or will install and at above bar there is blue info ice click that and u will find the UDID there - In your Extensions folder, right-click the PlatformUUID.kext and AppleSMBIOS.kext extension and select Show Package Contents.
- In the Contents folder, open up Info.plist, and scroll down to find: Code: <key>PlatformUUID</key> -Directly beneath that, replace the data between the <string></string> with the UUID of your Mac OS drive. Save and close. Download EFiStudio from . and open com.apple.boot.plist in /Snow/Extra. Go back to EFiStudio, and go through the drop down menu and look for your Video Card. Click add device and you will see bunch of numbers. Copy those numbers and make it look like the example underneath, Also add the Graphics Mode, for a fit resolution. like this
and make it look like this
(Replace the Graphics Mode String with yours) ex <string>1280×800x32</string> 
and put your long number string <string>long hex</string> under device-properties there. 
Congratulations! You've Got a Fully Functional Hackintosh—the Easy Way
- How to check Whether your Mac has the 32-bit EFI or 64-bit EFI : When you are reading this i m sure you understand that you can boot into full 64bit mode if your Mac has 64-bit EFI. Also note that Apple disabled 64-bit kernel support for any Macbooks, even with 64-bit EFI. So if you have an older Mac Pro, iMac and you wants to check Whether your Mac has the 32-bit EFI or 64-bit EFI just enter the following command in Terminal.
ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi And you’ll get the answer either “EFI32″ or “EFI64.” - How to boot 64-bit Kernel by default at every boot : Though you have a EFI64 and 64-bit compatible Mac your install will boot into 32-bit kernel by default. Thanx to Netkas for highlighting a trick to change default boot kernel. All you have to do is edit a string file in com.apple.Boot.plist To edit boot.plist navigate to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and open the boot.plist with text editor and find the following string.
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string> and change it to <key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=x86_64</string> That’s it, now your installation will boot in to 64-bit kernel mode every time. So no more holding down the ‘6′ and ‘4′ keys during boot. Just in case if you need to boot the 32-bit kernel just hold down the ‘3′ and ‘2′ keys during boot.
