Ola Caladinho, I'm well thank you, glad I could help you, I've been there before, where everything seems to go wrong and feeling like giving up, but with the awesome help of the wonderful people here we have both got great machines.


so, I say upgrade, run multibeast checking only the audio option, make sure you start multibeast before upgrading, don't actually hit install though until you've run the 10.8.3 upgrade.

EDIT - I've just upgraded successfully, only needed to select the sound option, all good, a bit of a slow reboot but ok.

in summary,

double click multibeast, leave it alone.
Run the combo updater in Tonymacs link
When the update is done continue with Multibeast selecting only the sound option.
Reboot
Enjoy

As long time Mac user, I recommend that you Repair Permission (using the Disk Utility) before and after running the Combo Update, MultiBeast and rebooting. This ensures a smooth update.

Are you using a DSDT?

Is it possible to install OS X Mountain Lion with a CD instead of a flash drive? I don't have an available Mac that I can use to Download Mountain Lion

I don't know how to do that.

Just borrow a friend's Mac. Just be sure to allow ample time with said friend's Mac to install Mountain Lion onto your thumb drive using Unibeast.

You can use a friends Mac or a local school's, college's, university's or library's Macs. If none of those locations are available, you can purchase Apple's Snow Leopard for $20 USD in the Apple On-line Store, and use this guide to get and install Mountain Lion: http://www.tonymacx86.com/snow-leop...x-10-6-snow-leopard-ivy-bridge-based-pcs.html

Thank you, Stork for helping out. I figured there was a way, but I've always had a Mac around and never had a need to seek out that information.
