Hey Guys, (not sure if this is the right thread, forum has changed since i was on here last) I've been running 10.6.8 on a gigabyte x58a-ud3r with and i7-960 and gigabyte radeon 5870 for over a year solid in 64 bit (Mac 3,1) with no troubles... until yesterday. I believe this is an HD issue...

Man, how do i vote?! I remember using OS 6.x when i was maybe like 5 years old? Also, i used a tower that was taller than me :) Prob running 7.x. SO long ago. I remember everyone hated apple. Been an Apple OS user my entire lifetime! turning 20 in a few days and been with apple for as long as...

I added a second monitor recently connected via HDMI and no more black screens :mrgreen:

You can just unmount via HD via Disk Utility. Not the end of the world. Not exactly Hot-Swappable, but being un-mountable is great, considering it's a Hackintosh! My eSATA Drives will only show up if mounted before POST before Chameleon... they show up as internal drives with the JMicron eSATA...

Re: CustoMac Pro Install Guide (X58A-UD3R+ATI 5770+10.6.6+64bit) I currently have the Jmicron SATA and eSATA kexts installed. my eSATA drive will show up if it's on before boot. Is there a way to make them hot swappable? You're saying to delete both kexts and install only the SATA kext +...

Reading this thread is super helpful!! However i have one pretty simple question about the backup drive. How do i install chameleon on the cloned drive and where can a download Chameleon V2 RC5 Ati Experimental Bootloader. or.. do i just install any chameleon then reload The proper chameleon...

Re: CustoMac Pro Install Guide (X58A-UD3R+ATI 5770+10.6.6+64bit) Lucky, Lucky! Well, i'm just happy they work :thumbup: Maybe i'll just change the icons so it doesn't confuse me. Is there anything functionally im missing out on because the external drive shows up as internal? I've read...
