Thank you very much Pilgrim. It took a while but I finally got it up and running doing exactly as your instructions stated.

I couildn't find my boot disc, but was able to create another since I have the same OS (El Capitan) on my laptop and have the install Mac OS in my applications folder. From there it was just a matter of running Unibeast and preparing an external disc. Look above at the response from Pilgrim and...

Thank you soooo very much. It's a good thing I'm a tenacious sort....It took a while to figure out how this worked in entering, but I finally got it.

I'm definitely out of my depth here, but I've figured out how to get into single user mode. Do I simply type what you have here? I'm guessing I don't break them up by line as you have here because it doesn't seem to let me do that....illegal option if I hit the return. Do I type the word, reboot...

My Hackintosh which is about 6 years old now suddenly refused to boot today. I couldn't find my boot disc but was able to create another. When booting normally, it goes through to the Apple logo and progress bar below stops at about 3/4 when it goes to black and shuts down. When booting from the...

Perfect! Made the boot disc and was able to make the change to the file. Everything is as it was before.

Thanks for the response. I've just made a fresh disc with unibeast. It sounds like I can boot to my computer with just that? No need for Multibeast at this point, I don't think. If I can get it booted, I can make that change and everything will be good from there.

Last night I was attempting to resolve a lingering issue I've had with access to the App Store. It's always given me messages that they need to verify my computer and won't allow me to download apps. In my research, I found a post that suggested two entries in the "org.chameleon.Boot.plist." One...

Good morning and a big thank you to those who helped me. I've set up Mavericks and everything is looking and feeling great! That update and installation of Flash was the final key that got me through the door.

OK...I got it figured out. I ran software update and installed the latest flash player. Everything seems to be working fine now and I'm in the process of creating my Unibeast drive.

I've found that this update is causing me problems with the internet. It will load some pages, but not all and most importantly, it won't completely load the Tonymac site. I can see it on the screen, minus the graphic on the upper left of the page. It stops, continues to spin the wheel and...

Well...this is a bit maddening. I re-installed Snow Leopard and discovered that my internet works just fine before the upgrade to 10.6.8 and I have full access to the Tonymac site....no problems. After the update....it's a "no go." I tried making the Unibeast drive on my PowerPC but it wouldn't...

Yes...I can get to the Apple store. The problem that's causing me grief is the fact that this site (Tonymac) won't completely load. And that is the case with some, though not all, sites. My website, for instance, works fine. I think it's best I deal with this before I move on. I got to the Apple...

I'm ready to move on to Mavericks as I have it downloaded, but before I do, Im thinking of re-installing Snow Leopard. One of the issues I'm having with it right now is my internet. Many sites, including this one won't completely load. The blue progress bar gets to about 90% and it stops...

Actually.....not so fast. When all else fails....read the manual....watch the video, etc. I was having some buggy issues and just watched the video on installing Mavericks which I think will address the most serious of my issues. That all looks good and I'll be jumping into that tomorrow.

Yes...last night I upgraded to 10.6.8, but I ran Multibeast there per the directions. Today, I installed Mavericks. It's all working, but a bit buggy and I'll have some issues to deal with starting tomorrow, so I'll be moving over to the Mavericks forum.

Huzzzaaaahhhh! We've got a snow leopard in da house!!! Thank you all so much for the assistance, and especially that detail you gave me in that last post, Going Bald. I got both the SSD and the ODD in SATA2 ports and I was going through the manual...scratching my head and I just knew it was all...

I got the proper cable and have DVI now for the monitor and using the board for graphics. I've done most of the changes recommended. I've always used the iBoot for Ivy Bridge which I downloaded and burned on a friend's Mac. I also have a version I made with my PowerPC G5, but figured I'm better...

thanks guys...I need to run out to get a cable for the monitor so it's all DVI. I'll check back in later....fingers crossed.

Well, the good news is that I got all the parts in today and got things up and running. I can get into the BIOS and make the changes that are recommended, but my iboot is not working. I have the GA-Z77X-UD5H with the i7 3770 processor. The iboot I'm using is the "iboot for Ivy Bridge" and all I...
