    [Guide] HP 6300 Pro / HP 8300 Elite - A 100 percent Working and Easily Affordable CustoMac

    Thanks Micalllee for your reply. No matter which PCI Express slot I use, I see nothing (either in the bios or in the finder). The HD I am trying to connect is a 3.5" storage drive not a bootable drive. I know the PCI express slots work because I can insert a WIFI card in them and it works...

    [Guide] HP Elite 8300 & 6300 Pro (all form factors) using Clover UEFI hotpatch

    Thanks Lisa. Lots of good info here. Question: Do the themes that end with "256" require a larger monitor? (example Circla256)?

    [Guide] HP Elite 8300 & 6300 Pro (all form factors) using Clover UEFI hotpatch

    Hi TRS. Put iTunes on my Windows 10 SSD and it accesses my HDD super quick. My 4500 songs load in a snap. Not sure why iTunes performs so much better in Windows 10 (and Mountain Lion) than in Mojave? It should be the other way around. Gotta be a software issue. I'll keep digging. Thanks

    Thanks TRS! Great recommendation on the HP 8300! For $200, it can't be beat. These are really well built desktops.

    [Guide] HP Elite 8300 & 6300 Pro (all form factors) using Clover UEFI hotpatch

    125 gigs of music, no videos. Like I said, worked fine with Mt. Lion, but that was using a Gigabyte motherboard. TRS, do you think this a Hackintosh problem, a Mojave problem or an HP 8300 problem? Also the HDD is plugged into the SATA # 2 port on the motherboard - which I believe is SATA II not...

    Upgrading to High Sierra from Mavericks 10.9.5?

    Because I am running Mavericks, the App store won't allow me to download El Cap. I guess they want me to go directly to High Sierra. Any alternatives?

    Upgrading to High Sierra from Mavericks 10.9.5?

    Thanks trs96. I believe my motherboard is in Legacy bios. I am not currently using the clover bootloader. Is there an advantage to upgrading my MB to UEFI, and if so, is there a thread you can point me to? Would it affect my dual boot situation (ie. windows 10)? Thanks again.

    Upgrading to High Sierra from Mavericks 10.9.5?

    Been a while since I upgraded my OS. I haven't upgraded since Mavericks 10.9.5. I can't find a thread for upgrading my system (GA-Z68XUD-3H-B3 Intel i5-2500K HD3000 i.e Stork's "Son of Zorro Build") to High Sierra. I have a dual boot (Windows 10) system. Any help would be much appreciated...

    Dual boot problems on "Quality Cheapo Mac"

    Thanks everyone. Smsgator's "Boot0 error" fix partially took care of the problem, but the Crucial M500 takes forever to boot. Close to 1 minute. Hopefully the firmware fix will take care of that. I'll report back. Never had this issue with the Samsung evo or the Crucial M4. Are there any other...
