I am planning to dual-boot my Lenovo Y480 with Win 8 and ML.
My specs - i7-3630QM, 1TB HDD, 8GB RAM, GeForce GT650M

I've read many forums and have no doubt that my hardware are hackintoshable.

What i want to ask here is regarding the installation steps. Many guides asked to remove graphic cards and RAM during installation. There's also an advice to plug the hard disk at the correct SATA port (don't plug at the white port).

As i'm hackintoshing my laptop, i don't think these steps are possible. So should I proceed with the steps? Can anyone assure me that it will go fine even without complying to those steps?

Thanks

thanks! I found this thread tonymacx86 which is very helpful as I have a very similar laptop.
