Post-installation
2.0 -Run MultiBeast.
2.1 -If you have a custom DSDT that's been edited, place the file on your desktop and choose UserDSDT.
2.2 -All others select EasyBeast
2.3 -Select System Utilities.
2.4 -Optionally, you may install further drivers via Advanced Options to enable ethernet, sound, graphics, etc... Be sure to read the documentation provided about each installation option.
NOTE: EasyBeast, and UserDSDT install the bootloader by default
Congratulations! You're done!! You did it.
I strongly recommends don`t go for Sandy bridge processors.Go for compatibility list hardware from osx86project.org .Please have a look at once.

Useful Links
Here are a few more links that provide tools and files to help you set up a Hackintosh on hardware other than what I’ve mentioned here:
myHack – Another bootloader/kext installer, similar to Multibeast
Kexts.com – A good resource for downloading Kexts (device drivers)
Kext Helper – A tool that makes it easy to install new Kexts
Kext Utility – A tool to ensure proper kext installation
Chamelon Boot Loader – The boot loader that pretty much all the boot disks out there use (including iBoot and Empire EFI).

usb drives shows unallocted
There are two ways are there
Method 1
"DISKPART" from the Command Prompt (accessible by clicking on Start and then typing "cmd" into the open field); you will then see the following prompt: DISKPART>
"LIST DISK" to see what number your USB drive is listed as.
"SELECT DISK 2" (if your USB is disk 2; replace # with your disk #); Diskpart will confirm that "Disk 2 is now the select disk."
"SELECT PARTITION 1" (this command selects what should be the only partition on your USB drive, the small one that you want to delete to get back the larger, full partition size). Diskpart will confirm with "Partition 1 is now the selected partition."
"DELETE PARTITION". This will delete the old partition. There are no warning prompts if you have existing data - make sure you have copied everything off before doing this!
"CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY" to create a new, full-size partition. Diskpart will confirm with message of "Diskpart succeeded in creating the specified partition." You can type in "LIST PARTITION" to confirm the new, full-size.
"EXIT" to leave Diskpart. You can now format your USB drive by using the standard Windows formatting process.
Method 2
