i'm running mavericks 10.9 because my apogee ensemble a/d converter for home recording works and i've heard of issues on later versions. Although I may update to 10.9.2 so I can get the newer nvidia drivers but i need to clone my drive first.

I know this is an old post but there are known driver issues with the ensemble even for legit macs.. Something about the drivers are different and glitchy. I called apogee and they suggested I go to an older os ,

Did a little searching through the forums and it looks like since I don't have Mavericks 10.9.2 running I can't use the NVIDIA driver loader.. I remembered that what worked before the crash was GraphicsEnabler=Yes Tried it as a boot arg and it worked so i went into the Chameleon boot list and...

Amen to that... I'm definityel making a clone once I'm back up.. I got it to boot from the hard drive but I have to add boot arg nv_disable=1 How can I write that into the boot arguments?

Good call that explains a lot:banghead::banghead: -v -f -x nv_disable=1 cpus=1 -no-zp from the usb worked My old operating system came back :headbang: I can't thank you enough.. Now how do I repair the damage done. You may recall I idiotically loaded multibeast on the wrong drive and crashed...

Hello, First of all thanks for helping.. Heres how the results went. **ALL attempts were made with 1 dimm stick which is 4 gigs ram** 1) Boot args -v,-f,-x,nv_disable=1,cpus=1,maxmem=4096,-no,-zp results system began to boot then went to sleep 2) Just 1 DIMM with no boot flags results...

Thanks for the tip, Using the boot -args you gave 1st from the volume and the system tried to boot went to the white screen wheel was spinning then went to sleep mode.. 2nd attempt I then tried the same boot -args from the usb and got the screen shot attached.

Okay I used -s and got :/ root# what should I do thanks rich

Okay I think I can get this to boot I just need the right commands to get past the fact the system goes to sleep while it tries and boot. I think its because of the graphics card... The system tries and boots when I type -x at boot prompt it shows the bar that something is loading gets half way...

I completely blew this. I loaded it onto my working Hack and now the working hack won't boot. I have two hacks that are dead. I tried booting the original hack with the usb and it keeps going to sleep. I am under water here. I'm going to bag it for the night and try again tomorrow after work.. I...

thanks for the suggestion.. I'm not seeing a way to target the new drive... Its trying to load on my current system..I tried dragging the multi beast folder to the target drive and running it from there..Is there a way to target the drive ?

I tried the clone and it won't boot.any suggestions?

good call I'll give i a go. Thanks
