Sorry to ask such a dum question but, I was trying to overcome the problem with my Mavericks Hackintosh not being recognized by Itunes and I changed my Smbios file. The computer crashes on the OS install now. I have the old Smbios file on a Thumb drive.
Can anyone tell me how to get the OS to boot up so I can change the file back.
Thanks

Maybe plug the drive into a Mac computer and access it through finder?
 
You could try booting with "-x" but I'm not sure that's going to work.

When you first installed OSX did you use a Unibeast USB? If so, boot from the Unibeast USB, select your OSX drive and it should boot. If not then use the "-x" option. you should then be able to replace that file.

good luck!
 
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,
I Love You Guys.
I booted in -x, and replaced the file works great now.
Now I'm going to make a backup of my book drive.
After that I'll go on to solve the problem with not being able to buy apps from iTunes.
Thanks Again:D

Glad you got it sorted out. Keep us posted on your App store problem. I'm sure you'll get it!
