How do I do that? I managed to get onto my boot drive by booting verbose.

So I plugged in a USB cable and my Lion build crashed and now when I boot, it boots to a Kernal Panic on my main drive and also my clone boot drive. Here's a photo of what comes up. Any ideas what's wrong? Am I screwed? I've got a deadline soon and need to sort this out fast or buy a Mac Mini...

[SUCCESS] Overclocked GA-Z87X-UD5 TH - Core i7-4770K - GTX770 OC I'm looking to do a similar build (4th build now). I noticed you said you were a commercial director. I'm a composer/producer with credits.

Cool. How do I get a theme then? Does having a OS drive boot that isn't set as the priority have any affect on performance?

I often clone my boot drive and want to check it's working 100%. Is there a way to have a nice screen to select between drives instead of going into the BIOS and changing the drive boot order?

Looking to get some advice for building a DAW to house two HDX cards. Possibly a few monitor outputs as well. Need space for 5 drives, as much ram as possible and a graphics card that will cause no issues at all. Tempted by a rack mounted case as well. I've seen a few similar builds...

So what would I need apart from a copy of ML from the app store? It's been a long time since I've done this myself and I probably over complicate everything in my head since the Snow Leopard days.

Is there a way to do it without updating the BIOS? I really don't want to mess with the original BIOS settings as I want to have a SL drive to be able to go back to with no issues.

Bump

With the new Logic X out, I want to update. I didn't do my current build, I bought it from a seller who builds them and he used the Tonymac install. However, I have done a Snow Leopard build/installation in the past. I'd imagine all the bios settings are okay right? But what do I need...

Checked those Mobos out and none have FW800 only FW400. Guess I might be best with a PCI card but I've read it's hard to find one that works.

I know the case should be fine. Was just wondering if you could suggest a very compatible (IE not much work involved installing) Mobo with FW800? Thanks for the help :-)

^I was planning on getting a R2 case myself as this is for my DAW. Are there any easily compatible Mobos with FW800?

I guess I could replace the Mobo, don't really have time to be messing around with it. What's a good easy to install Snow Leopard on Mobo with Firewire?
