I am building a system based on tonymac's Haswell, no gfx card, build. I have my HAFXB totally wired but await an RMA'd PSU that didn't work.
In the meantime, using a USB sled I have used my iMac to partition my 1TB Barracuda and, with tremendous problems installed Win 7 Ultimate on the first Partition but cannot test as USB forbidden booting in Win. The other Partition just for Mac non-OS files.
Using the sled I have Partitioned a Crucial SSD as 1 Partition, GUID.
Two questions:
1. Booting from a USB dongle I 'should' be able to install Mavericks using Multibeast etc. on this SSD. Is this possible?
2. If 1 is correct, I have a working 10.9.1 with all all my apps installed. As Mavs does what was once called an, 'Archive Install,' can I clone my working drive to the SSD using the USB sled and then boot from the USB dongle containing all Multibeast etc. lovely stuff and, effectively, Archive-Install a new OS configured to boot my build when the SSD is installed therein?
I may be mad but, just an inquisitive thought to do something while waiting.
Thanks, in anticipation.
