Hi guys,
I've got my specs written up on my profile and I've managed to successfully install Mountain Lion on a separate hard drive but when it boots up (from USB and then select hard drive to boot) it comes up with the Apple logo and spinner but then soon stops and tells me to restart my computer. So, effectively, I cannot boot into Mountain Lion... In fact, I've never had any success installing any Mac OS X version straight onto a hard drive on my computer. Does this have anything to do with the fact that I'm still using an LGA 775 socket for my processor? If not, could you please let me know what you think is causing the freeze and, if any, what version of OS X would best run on my system?
Thanks for any help I can get,
Florin.
