Thanks jmonkey!! After months of iMessages playing up / not letting me in (and FaceTime...don't know if this was connected), I decided to give your guide a go. After every step, I finally got through to the rather 'official looking' apple customer services message. As per your advice, I...

It goes by the port I believe. Only way you'll get it to think two drives are the same are by putting them on the same port as far as I am aware.

I think the trouble with the low capcity HDD option is that both drives would have to someway be connected to the same sata port. If you could get a y-cable it could work. I'd be a little worried about being able to accidentally switch one drive off, but I guess so long as no data was being run...

The trouble with a physical switch that selects either one drive or the other is that it doesn't allow for access to the mac drive in windows or the other way around. I'd favour an option that lets me select which OS I want from boot that doesn't 'disable' one or other of the drives.

Setting up bluetooth with magic mouse and trackpad in both Windows and Mac Dual boot Hi Folks! I know this information is scattered through the web and forums, but I couldn't find one step-by-step guide to get both my Apple Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse working from boot in my dual-boot...

I'm going to give a reinstall with your settings (+ trim enabler as I have an SSD drive) a go. Thanks for the screenshot! Fingers crossed it starts working right. Ps do the esata ports work properly on your machine?

Hmm, I've actually updated to UEFI as well. I used multibeast 5.0.2 and unibeast to install mountain lion fresh. Is there something I could have done/selected wrong there?

Hi MacTester57, AWESOME build! I was wondering, I'm using the same MB as you, do you per chance have an iPad, and if so are you able to charge it in Mac? I can't get my usb ports to deliver sufficient power and it's just a mite frustrating! Many thanks in advance for your help!

Only workaround I can think of for UEFI is to use an sd card reader. You'll need to two SD cards. One for Mac, one for Windows. Ensure the SD card reader is plugged in with a card in the slot Load chimera, hit tab to check the partition numbers assigned to windows and mac drives...

That should work just fine. Only problem..... Doesn't seem to work with gigabyte uefi :-( I had it set to boot into mac with usb inserted and windows with usb removed. If I set the boot priorities to boot from my usb drive it works fine: boots mac If I remove the usb it works fine...

That's super, thanks. Is it just when cloning a standard drive to an SSD that troubles can occur?

I've setup my computer and chimera so that it will by default boot into Mountain Lion. However, I've also setup a USB stick with chimera which will by default boot into Windows. By setting the BIOS to boot from USB if present, I can then boot into Lion by default, or boot into Windows if...

Hi there, I wonder if someone could give me some advice. I'm looking to install a new SSD drive. I'm going to play it safe, backup and wipe everything and do a clean ML install using unibeast/multibeast. However, when formatting the drive in setup, will this correctly align my SSD...

No offence but that's nonsense! Please don't mislead people.

Whoops, S.M.A.R.T. was off. Enabled and working... Now just can't get my display out working for my 5670, can any1 point me in the right direction? Ignore me... just had to reload MultiBeast and switch to 64-bit GraphicsEnabler=No. Sound working, net working, displays working... we're getting...
