  • Hackintosh is back!!!
    As some of you more regular readers may have noticed, I am back from a period of absence.  This is mainly due to my main PC (my Hackintosh) having a little harddrive trouble.

  • Guide: Hackintosh with Asus P5KC
    If you read my previous post you will know that this afternoon I have spent a little while (re)installing MacOS on my PC hardware.  The reason is due to a harddrive corruption on the previous install.  I do not place the blame for this on the software I am going to tell you to use, but [...]

  • Stop Windows Update from restarting your PC automatically
    This morning I woke up to find my PC turned on. Not unusual you might think, but when you consider that I had been encoding a DVD with the program set to "Shut down when complete", it was. What had happened (and seems to happen more and more often) was that windows had [...]
