Thank you so very much, CaseySJ, Inqnuam and macmaxxx. Updating to F9g (after having reset CMOS) did the trick. I'm completely back in business: both my main Windows and Catalina systems are working as are the cloned drives of each. I cannot tell you how relieved I am. Much love.

Please Help First, thanks to CaseySJ and all of the other knowledgeable posters on this thread. It amazed me how much time and effort has been put into maintaining it and responding to people's questions. I'm hoping you can help me. I followed this guide to create a working hackintosh back...

Two questions: is this the same card ("overclocked" vs "direct X 12") available at Micro Center for $169/$149 after rebate? https://www.microcenter.com/product/616174/radeon-rx-580-armor-x-overclocked-dual-fan-8gb-gddr5-pcie-30-video-card If they're different cards, does one work better OOB...

Thank you, totenkopf4. However, I already have SL up and running on the Ivy Bridge system along with Rosetta and the old version of the software I need for this project. Other than the graphics issue I mentioned, everything else seems fine. I can open and edit the files using the old software...

Hello, All. I have read through several of the threads related to installing Snow Leopard on Ivy Bridge systems. I understand that the tools (iBoot for Ivy Bridge) are meant only as a means to an end and not meant to build a stable SL system on an Ivy Bridge rig. That being said, I am engaged...

SOLVED: Boot Drive (SSD) Issue - 40 GB of "Other" Stuff Thank you, DBP. Yes, that was it (actually the "sleepimage" file). There are great instructions for removing the file and ensuring that it doesn't return at this link.

Hello, everyone. I hope someone can answer a (probably) easy question: I just installed OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) on my Hackintosh. Everything seems to be okay so far, but there is a strange issue regarding the amount of space it used on my SSD. It is a brand-new Samsung 830 128 GB SSD. I...

No disagreement about the 32 GB of RAM being a bit much, especially for just getting started. I did it because I got a great price on the memory (total price for all 32 GB = $134 + tax). It just seemed too good to pass up. My thinking is that if I decide to build another similar machine (e.g...

Thank you, Going Bald. Where has this device been all my life? What a simple, but wonderful, addition to any build. Clicking the order button...now.

Hello, everyone. I have finally assembled all of my system components and am ready (I think) to begin the install process. I have done extensive reading of the various forums and I think I've got a good idea of how to proceed. However, I would appreciate all of your feedback before I actually...

Hello again, MacMan. I'm sure you're getting tired of hearing of my continued problems getting UniBeast to install Mountain Lion on a USB drive. If you're not immediately familiar with my problems, please see this thread and this thread. I've done a bunch of reading on other forums about...

Okay, I'm more than 20 hours into this project and I still haven't managed to get UniBeast to install Mountain Lion onto a thumb drive. I really need some help and good advice, please. If you care to look at this thread it describes my initial problem. I posted that thread in the UniBeast...

Hello, all. I'm beginning my hackintosh journey and would appreciate any help you're willing to give. I have already acquired the CPU (Intel Core i5-3570K) and an SSD (SAMSUNG 830 Series 128GB). When giving advice please keep my one overriding goal for this build in mind: Simply put, I want...

Article: Building a CustoMac: CustoMac Mini 2012 I'm currently assembling the parts for my first hack build and have the same question (please let me know if it's been answered somewhere else). A second part to the question is: will the fan that comes standard with the i5-3570k fit in that...
