note: top drive first

cleaned up some wires
made a plexi cover to hide extra p/s wires.

Wait a sec there is a trick to the Sabertooth
and I know it!

Dug this up hope it helps,

For the Sabertooth X58 install you need to do the following:

1) DVD drive MUST be connect to SATA II port 0 and HD to SATA 3 port 0.
2) Boot with iBoot and install
3) Before booting from hard drive after installation move HD to SATA II port 0 and DVD to any other SATA II port.
3) Boot with iBoot and finish installation and run MultiBeast.




wish I saw your app store error as well, I have a fix for that too
