Should I just run MultiBeast?

[sean2e]

Hi guys, I'm having lots of trouble with my new 4530s.

It installs and works great before even using the ProBook installer 6 but when I reboot I always get the "Boot0" error.... Should I try just using multibeast instead?

Also I purchased the legit ML last night so it is 10.8.3 which the HPPBI6 does not support.. could this be causing the error? Ive read a lion fix where I install, reboot back into the UB installer unmount the drive and then punch a line or two into terminal but once I have installed the HDD it wont get back into the installer... I have to take it out and format it on my desktop hackintosh.... Please help all, Any help for an annoying Hackintosher would be greatly appreciated.

Your HDD must be a 4k/AF disk. Boot0 error is covered in step 15 of the guide. There is link there to boot0 procedure.

There is a beta HP ProBook Installer 6.1. You should be able to still get into the OS X installer (to get to Terminal) by booting the USB stick just like you did initially to install.

any idea when the 6.1 installer might be out? I can not get this 4530s to boot with out going into F9 and using either safe mode or ignore caches?

If you can only boot with "-f" (Ignore Caches), then you need AHCI patch. So far, usually not needed on 10.8.3, but for 10.8.2, 10.8.1, and 10.8.0, many people need it -- it is specific to certain HDD/SSD devices.

What do you do after F9 (are you still booting from the Unibeast USB?). If so, it could be you forgot to install a boot loader, or you need to implement the boot0 fix (specific to 4K/AF disks).

No its just being totally random, last boot let me boot up with Verbose mode no issues (with the UB usb still in) and now I thought i finally fixed it and thought i should turn on and off (after using for a few hours) .... Nothing again. The pic attached is what i get in verbose mode now, other then that it just boot loops. safe mode, -f , Single user it all doest work... can't even get into the UB USB now, At least before I might have to restart but now wont go into UB at all.... Just then I tried one more thing... I pressed escape to bring up the F9 option then did verbose and now I can log in.... What should I do while I have it running?

Well, given that sometimes you can't get into Unibeast USB, it could be a hardware issue.
Is Windows or Linux stable on it?

Ok so here is my new method that works. I turn i on> ESC> F9> Lexar.....(UB Installer) it shows the options to go into the installer or boot the drive.....WORKS FINE!!! >:/ So for the time being I can get in and all works but I have to have that USB on me at all times. Now do you think Its a boot loader issue (stupid question I know)? The only thing I haven't tried yet is taking the USB out, F9 and then only the HDD (Names OSX) boot option will show..
