    Can't install Snow Leopard

    Oh damn, I don't have access to a mac. I've noticed people selling Sierra bootable usb sticks on eBay could that be a viable option? My only concern with that is that it might not have been done with unibeast. Thoughts?

    Can't install Snow Leopard

    Hi! I'm very new to this and have endeavored to follow the guides to the tee, but I'm obviously missing something as I can't seem to get Snow Leopard installed. My destination is to run Sierra. My build is as follows: Asus ROG Strix Z270G I7 7700K Intel HD 630 16GB Crucial Ballistics DDR4...

    ML won't recognise HD

    Downloaded .ISO firmware and burned to CD as per manufacture's instructions. Im supposed to press and hold the option key to get to a display screen but nothing happens ;/ I'll soldier on but if anyone else has had this problem getting hard drives to work please chime in.

    ML won't recognise HD

    Just plugged in another SSD and that is recognised fine. Still would like to get the HDD working though. Do i perhaps need to download firmware for it? It's a Seagate Barracuda 1TB.

    ML won't recognise HD

    I'm having some trouble getting ML to recognise my hard drive. My SSD with ML is fine and it recognises flash drives, i have tried 3 different flash drives - all fine. I am using a Gigabyte Z77 DS3H mobo. I read that i didn't need a DSDT because my mobo doesn't need one so i opted for User...

    SL won't boot from SSD

    Thank you :) i guess ML is what I'll go for then. Just to clarify, I don't need to use multibeast for the SL part as it's just being used as a stepping stone, but I do for ML? So the ML multibeast will be functional for my hardware and will allow me to optimise my computer whilst enabling me...

    SL won't boot from SSD

    Oh yes, I'm glad you brought the audio side of things up because I pretty much only want to use this computer to run Logic 9! After having read several articles it seems that SL is my best bet with stability for LP9 so happy days. I noticed when I got onto my current volume I had no Ethernet...
