Thanks guys for the assist. I actually had to build a new drive with Mavericks, then "upgrade" to Yosemite... took a few attempts, but it's pretty great!! So here is where I am at: 1. mSATA drive w/ LION - for protools, works perfectly; 2. Samsung SSD with YOSEMITE, works perfectly; a bunch of...

Thanks. Tried this. Unfortunately, NG. BUT - an Interesting Update: On a hunch, I thought, let's go back a few versions of MacOS and back to Chimera -- So I generated a UniBeast 5.2 USB with Yosemite. It booted as expected and the OS installed. Perfect! Because I'm a bit masochistic, I will...

I started with this very comprehensive guide on how to make a UniBeast https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/unibeast-install-macos-sierra-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.200564/ I formatted the USB as GUID, to the letter of the guide. I used UniBeast 7.1.1...

Hi P1LGRIM, thanks for jumping in on this! I tried the various options for Boot Manager and Device Manager and still am coming up empty. Yes, the boot loader isn't firing. That's my problem. This is what I see in the Boot Manager/Device Manager And it doesn't take me anywhere. The only...

I was trying to build a dual-boot using a 2nd HD (old OS = Lion, new OS = Sierra) and it was a miserable fail and comedy of errors... I posted this in the dual-boot forum: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/use-different-hdd-for-new-osx-sierra-on-existing-system.223340/ as you can see, I...

I'm at a loss... Thinking brute-force can solve this -- 1. I removed all drives -- including the mSATA with LION; 2. I installed a new, wiped SSD, ready for Sierra; 3. I made a UniBeast on my laptop, with latest Sierra just downloaded from AppStore; 4. IN the PC BIOS, set the USB to be the boot...

OK. started over: cloned LION to SIERRA drive updated SIERRA to OSX 10.7.5 I can try to launch the install Sierra app (requires a restart) but when it hits the loader (chimera), and I select Sierra, the installer does not proceed. Tried this a few times... MultiBeast Sierra 9.1 requires macOS...

AAARGH. Frustration. I tried to make a Sierra UniBeast (legacy), and it appears to have done its thing, but the UniBeast is not seen by my PC. Hmm. I tried making it the only bootable device, no go. If I could simply get the 10.7.4 upgraded to 10.7.5, i could try the clone.

I cloned my LION drive to a new SSD using ccc. Downloaded new MultiBeast to the new drive 'SIERRA' application folder. New MultiBeast requires MacOS 10.8 or later. I can't run it. Hmm. OK, so I then tried to copy over the Sierra installer -- but the installer requires OS 10.7.5 (I have 10.7.4)...

Got it all... But please pardon this stupid question -- If I have no need for the content or apps from the old Lion drive (Sierra is gonna be an entirely different set of apps and files) -- I have a new Sierra installer file. Is there any reason I shouldn't just consider this a virgin/new drive...

Thank you for the almost instant assist! So I will keep using the 5 year old MultiBeast and not mess with Clover or newer versions of MultiBeast? I can disable the mSATA slot after the clone - but why do I want to do this (protecting the data?) Are you suggesting that once Sierra is happy on...

Hey everyone! Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I did a UniBeast for OSX Lion about 5 years ago. It's been working perfectly for years. I have not touched it!! It's running an audio workstation with legacy PCI hardware - and it's an awesome machine... it is running legacy software and I honestly...

As I mentioned in the DUC, advice from those with experience is to spend $25 and get a USB dongle. I bought this one: viewtopic.php?p=409380#p409380 And then you have your solution, and it actually sounds good (enough). And you can move on to more important things. :-)

A followup: For audio -- I chose to get a better quality USB interface (as opposed to the Turtle Beach dongle) - for a few $ more, this puppy actually sounds good! Behringer UCA222 U-Control Ultra-Low Latency 2 In/2 Out USB Audio Interface with Digital Output And Massive Software Bundle...
