Very nice to know that USB 3.0 is now native to the macbook pro models. Perhaps with the proper kext on the ML install drive it would work. Will have to try testing that at some point.

Ok as far as One MBR one GPT.... yes, even if you have both drives connected at the time of install of OS X (at least in what I have encountered thus far in 4 builds of a hackintosh) the install only affects the drive in question. Using chimera you will then have both drives available for boot...

Ok... so far in trying MANY install methods, kexts, etc. I have gotten thus far: Install via Unibeast ML 1.5.3 with laptop support using flag of PCIRootUID=0. Install as normal. Upon reboot select the newly installed ML drive with flags of PCIRootUID=0 -x. For some reason the account/user setup...

Pulling my hair out! Asus G73SW I am trying to install OS X on a G73SW-1BTY for a friend. Using a Unibeast installer with laptop support, installs fine (using PCIRootUID=0 flag). However all the guides (and thus kexts I find) are all related purely to Lion and SL. Using Multibeast to install a...

Not completely certain that this would work, however my desktop systems have recognized both external HDD and flash drives connected during the install process (on USB 2.0 as 3.0 is not native and needs a kext to work). Best bet would be to get an external 2.5" enclosure and attempt an install...

I previously tested Snow Leopard on this laptop and got it up and running, however could not find a proper kext to enable ethernet. Scrapped SL and tried Lion. Could not find a guide other than SL -> Lion upgrade. Tried that and still not ethernet no matter the kexts I attempted. Tried a clean...

Ok so my DW1520 was not compatible. The DW1510 is with proper kext... however I chose to go with a native wifi card. The DW1397 however (as I found out) does not support 5G wireless as the DW1520 does. Not a big concern to me. What is though is the transfer speeds of wireless over my home...

Hmm... I see no one seems to have any input on this. A week of searching the web yields no results (that I can find). Really wish someone could help me out here.

Okay, converted my Win Server 08 R2 over to Mountain Lion just for the fun of it. Then realized the issues with trying to share NTFS formatted drives. So converted them all to HFS+ drives. Now have my file sharing back up and running on ML. The only problem I am having is that there are two...

May already be posted, and my search just yields unsuccessful, so if already active topic on it please point me to it... If not however I hope someone can answer.... As there is no DSDT needed with the new bios, and no DSDTs available because of that... How do you go about enabling HDMI audio...

You can do it, use the uefi to award utility to switch back... just be warned, same dangers (power failure, etc) in changing any BIOS file still apply and can render the mobo useless... But I switched to UEFI, back to Award, and back again to UEFI with no issues (all in order to test hardware...

As there is no DSDT needed with the new bios, and no DSDTs available because of that... How do you go about enabling HDMI audio with the new UEFI BIOS? Anyone willing to guide me through it, and I would be most grateful...

*Update* Try the flag PCIRootUID=0 on both install and post-install... Tested and worked... after Multibeast corrected the need for such flags... Wish I had found this gem earlier... Hope it helps you...

*Update* Was able to install under uefi bios with the install and post-install flag of PCIRootUID=0.... Perhaps (and at this time not willing to roll back my bios) that also works for the award bios on this card as well?

I dont have the evga version of this card, but i was having the same problem with my nvidia branded one today. i used internal graphics for post install (as install showed fine using the card... it is "native" after all). But even using internal and then easybeast (or userdsdt as may apply for...
