Mountain Lion Compatible Macs. More precisely than the official info, the following list of Macs support OS X Mountain Lion, provided that they have 2 GB of memory, at least 8 GB of available storage space, and are running Mac OS X 10.6.8 'Snow Leopard' or later, which includes any version of OS X 10.7 'Lion.'

Read on for the step by step guide.
Requirements:
Access to a Mac to download OS X Mountain Lion from App Store and prepare UniBeast USB Drive.
A minimum of 8GB or larger USB flash drive.
A PC capable of running OS X Mountain Lion.
Step 1: First and foremost, this process requires that you own a copy of Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) and a USB drive with a minimum capacity of 8GB. The operating system is available to download from the Mac App Store for $19.99. If you haven’t already, download OS X Mountain Lion using your registered Apple ID.
Step 2: Download the updated and current version of UniBeast that is available from the downloads section of the tonymacx86 website (free of charge registration required).
Step 3: After the relevant software has been downloaded, the initial step is to create a bootable USB drive containing OS X Mountain Lion. With the formatted USB plugged into an available USB port on your Mac, open up an instance of Finder and navigate to /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and highlight the relevant USB drive in the left hand column of the interface.
Step 4: Select the Current drop down menu and choose the 1 Partition option.
Step 5: Select Options underneath Partition Layout menu and make sure the Master Boot Record option is checked. Click Ok.
Step 6: On the right hand side of the Disk Utility window there are options to name the USB Drive. You can choose a name now or it can be done later. Under the Format header, make sure Mac OS Extended (Journaled) is selected. Select Apply before selecting Partition.
Step 7: Run the UniBeast 1.5.1 application that was downloaded in step 2. If UniBeast is giving you an error message relating to Mountain Lion being missing, make sure the installation file downloaded from the Mac App Store is located in the /Applications folder.
Step 8: When UniBeast is running, skip through the first few screens before selecting the relevant USB drive on the Select a Destination screen. Choose Continue, then enter your system password for approval. UniBeast will then look for the Mountain Lion installer file in the /Applications folder and install it to the USB drive.
Once the process has ran its course and completed, the partitioned USB drive will have a functional version of OS X Mountain Lion on it that can then be used on a PC to create an installation of Mountain Lion. The next few steps can be followed through to ensure everything is working without issue.
Step 9: Insert the USB drive into the PC that you want to turn into a Hackintosh and make sure that the machine is set to boot from USB through the BIOS.
Note: Steps 10 – 12 are only required for new installations. If you are updating from an existing installation of Mac OS X Snow Leopard or OS X Lion these steps can be skipped.
Step 10: After booting from the drive, you should now be in the OS X installer. Set the desired language, choose the Utilities option from the menu bar before selecting Disk Utility. Select the target hard drive for the installation of Mountain Lion on your PC and click the Partition tab.
Step 11: Once again, select the Current drop down, select 1 Partition before selecting Options and choosing GUID Partition Table.
Step 12: Type in Macintosh HD as the name of the partition and once again set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Step 13: Click Apply then Partition before closing down the Disk Utility.
Step 14: Now simply install Mountain Lion on this hard drive.
When the process is completed, restart the machine. When the machine boots up, choose the new Mountain Lion option to make the drive bootable.
So there we have it, a fully functional Hackintosh PC running the latest Mac operating system. Last but not the least, you will need to install the drivers for your machine. This can be done using MultiBeast tool, which can again be found in the downloads section over at tonymacx86.
Apple will obviously tell you that the Mac machines they produce are designed to work harmoniously with the software and operating systems that they also develop, but running OS X on a Windows based PC can be an extremely pleasurable experience now that the installation process is relatively pain free.

Before we explain the process of creating an OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Hackintosh you will need to make sure that you can get access to a Mac computer so that you can purchase/download OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and create a UniBeast USB drive. While we are on the topic of USB drives you will need a formatted one with a capacity of at least 8GB.

Install Mountain Lion Hackintosh PC

Step 1) – The first thing you will need to do is purchase and download OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store (direct link). Once it downloads DO NOT install it.

Step 2) – Next you will need to download a program called UniBeast, which is available from a website called TonyMacx86. You will need to register on the website to be able to download the program (it is free).

Step 3) – With the required files downloaded you will begin the process of creating a bootable Mountain Lion USB Drive. Plug in your formatted USB drive into your computer, launch Finder and navigate to /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. With Disk Utility open click on your USB drive, and from the Current drop down menu choose the 1 Partition option.

Step 4) – Now select Options underneath the Partition Layout menu and ensure that the Master Boot Record option is checked. Additionally, look underneath Format header and ensure that Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) is selected. Finally click Apply and then click the Partition button.

Step 5) – You will now need to launch UniBeast, the application that you downloaded in step 2. Quickly go through the Introduction, Read Me and License pages and when you get to the Destination Select page you will need to select the USB drive you have been partitioning in the previous steps. Once you have done this click the Continue button and follow the rest of the on-screen instructions.

Note: Keep in mind that if you receive an error stating that Mountain Lion is missing you will need to ensure it is placed in the /Applications folder.

Step 6) – After UniBeast is finished you should have a fully functional bootable Mountain Lion USB drive that can be installed on your PC to create a Hackintosh. As such ensure that your computer is set to boot from USB through the BIOS settings (Google will be your friend here if you don’t know how to do this). Then plug the USB drive into your Windows computer that you want to turn into a Hackintosh and restart your computer.

With Disk Utility open you will need to select the hard drive you wish to install Mountain Lion to. With your hard drive selected go into the Partition tab. Select the Current drop down menu, followed by 1 partition and then click on Options and choose GUID Partition table.
